StarMaster

StarMaster is a vibrant, pick-up-and-play casual game where you dash through colourful worlds, dodge hazards, and collect the coveted Star to conquer each map. Perfect for quick sessions and replayability, StarMaster blends simple mechanics with progressively thrilling challenges.

🎮 Core Gameplay

  • Use the arrow keys or WASD to move.

• Obstacles: Each world features unique hazards—some deadly, some slowing—that require timing, skill, and strategy to overcome.

4. SpaceStar

   • Drifting asteroids, planets, and spaceships.

5. VolcanoStar
