About the Game

Ella Stars – As Featured on IGN!

Action-rhythm gameplay meets original soundtracks, hand-drawn art, lovable characters, and epic boss battles.

30 Original Songs

Ella and Bird have an origin story with 50+ million views on YouTube across 49 hilarious music-based animated episodes. Ella Stars is basically a playable greatest hits album with hand-drawn art and intense boss fights.

Fourth-Wall-Breaking Bosses

Well not narratively, but you can crush each unique boss with a perfect combo at the end for a satisfying crescendo. 

From Crazy Hard to Kick Back & Chill

Either keep it on easy with Ella to enjoy the great OST, or move through difficulty modes until the bosses break you.

Let's Close This in Style

Of course, no journey of self-discovery and musical mayhem is complete without costumes to match your style. 11 unique skins to unlock for both Ella & Bird.
