Star Impact

Star Impact is a single-player platforming game about Stella Striker, pilot of the interstellar spaceship Icarus II. You leave Earth to find the rare material Star Impact, avoid ancient aliens and deadly environments, solve environmental puzzles, and help secure the future of interstellar human travel.

Platforming through space

You time Stella’s jumps and dashes, send her through cannons, and avoid hazards such as spikes. The game’s large, contiguous level changes with each of its three difficulty settings. The pace starts slowly and increases as you progress; the difficulties let you learn the basics and then test your skills. Collect Star Impact to pursue the highest score, while visual distortions of space and time feature in the journey.

Story and challenges

The story follows human interstellar space travel and Stella’s effort to unravel the mysteries of the galaxy. You solve puzzles through platforming mechanics as you navigate the environments. Stella is controlled with two buttons.

Music and competition

The game features 80s synth music. You can unlock new tracks and set a playlist, with music boosts earned while playing. Leaderboards let you compare scores and speedrun times with friends and other players, and the game also includes achievements.
