About the Game

Intro

After crash-landing on a newly discovered planet due to an electric shock, help Astri retrieve his data cards and complete the levels to reach his ship, in this “Die & Retry” platformer from the Stellar Vault studio.

A hard-to-complete single-player adventure awaits! With a variety of colorful skins and all the joy of level completion.

Over 50 levels!

Many levels in different ultra-challenging biomes, with achievements to complete. Retrieving all the data cards and finishing the game at 100% can only be done the bravest, most determined and most powerful people on earth.

Dangers roam the planet

Beware! You'll find robots that want to neutralize all unknown visitors (including you). Destroy them or use them as tools to complete the levels.

Simple, accessible controls

Just jump, run and dash - every key needs to be mastered which makes every fatal fall a lesson. Quick respawns encourage you to move on to discover the next levels and brave all their dangers.

Student Project

Turned in as a student project for a video game development school in its first year, winning the jury's congratulations for its enormous content and “magnificent” animations.

(Reimbursement for broken equipment due to excessive rage not taken into account :) )
