Derelict Star

Derelict Star is a platforming game about escaping a derelict freighter. With your spacecraft nearly out of power, the freighter is your only chance to survive. You navigate its obstacles and collect enough power to get out alive.

Explore the freighter

The game takes place across a large, contiguous world with over 500 screens to explore. You can tackle objectives in any order; progress is gated only by your improving skill, with no permanent upgrades. The controls are simple and intuitive but difficult to master, and movement combines momentum with pixel precision.

Challenges and guidance

The mechanics and controls are taught through play, without explicit tutorials. Optional secrets and collectibles offer additional challenges, and retrieving them all is difficult even for experienced platforming players. An in-game hint menu and assist options provide help or guidance.
