About the Game

A Game Design Capstone Project - By DePaul University Students!

After returning from a star-dust-scavenging trip, Bit, our little starling captain, finds his Ship commandeered by an intergalactic militia, the Infestors. To save his home, he ventures within the circuits of his Starship friend, to rewire damage done by the Infestors and rid the circuits of malware.

PHYSICS BASED CABLE GAMEPLAY!

Star-Wired is a whimsical, endearing, top-down puzzle game, with a focus on plugging in cables to power level mechanics! The cables can be pushed, tangled, pulled, wrapped around, and swung to complete circuits and open the exit door of each level.
