StarCrossed plays like a classic arcade space shooter except your only weapon is the star bouncing between you and your partner. Timing and teamwork are key! Use your positioning to line up the perfect shot and defeat the waves of enemies!



ARCADE MODE
In Arcade Mode, it's an all-out race for points against increasing waves of enemies. The longer you play, the harder it'll get, so it's up to you and your partner to play your hearts out and reach for the stars! Your scores will be saved for easy viewing, and even be visible on a Global Leaderboard!

STORY MODE
The Nova Galaxy is an empire of unified peoples, physically pulled and held together through time and space with the power of the Harmony Crystal. Though it is constantly protected by the royal family, in past times of crisis the Harmony Crystal has anointed five heroes to defend it from harm and thus keep the galaxy unified. StarCrossed is the story of a new time of crisis and the new heroes chosen to fight.
