Report an issueNot just the looks of a classic game, also the gameplay of a classic platformer. This game is NOT EASY! you have an endless amount of lives, so you can quickly restart a level when you miss a jump, get hit by an enemy, get bitten by a plant, get hit by a spiky-ball, crushed by big statues, run onto spikes, get hit by a wasp, or any of the other many ways you’ll get stopped in your run.
BUT when you do complete a level, the rush you get will keep you coming back for more, and more, and more, and.. Unlock special temple levels by finding hidden keys, unlock a flip-mode by completing a level both within the time set, and also by collecting all the coins in a level. Stardash is all about the gameplay thrown at you in awesome retro graphics and original chiptunes.

8 of 15The game is great. The graphics are awesome and I like how it recreates the gameplay of the Game Boy.
The hit detection is weird and the timing requires too much precision for a touchscreen game. Everything else is pretty cool, but the gaming mechanics kinda ruin it.
Make this game and all your other game compatible with the 60beat controller then it'll be a 5 star game!
I would reccomend this game to anyone who likes that old-school platformer feel.
Only good thing is no ads.
This game captures the look and feel of a 1990's Game Boy platformer. It's programmed very well with controls that are consistent and easy to learn. The levels look pretty simple, but are quite difficult as they progress. The time stars are a real challenge! Amazing work overall. I've put hours into this game and enjoyed it for over 2 years at this point. Woot!
One of the best games I've ever place but filly hard
...not even the very first level can be beaten without jumping. This would not be a problem if the jump button hadn't disappeared after the latest update. Oops. 😏
