About the Game

Starhopper is a nonlinear puzzle game about aligning stars to form intricate patterns. Across 300 high quality, hand-crafted puzzles, you will chart the night sky, realize the cosmic order, and dual with aliens.

Each level is carefully designed to convey something interesting; there is meant to be no fluff. The puzzles aren't tedious or unnecessarily complicated. The game is designed with the player's sanity in mind, without compromising on deep, interesting logic.

The difficulty level is generally accessible, but for hardcore puzzle gamers, there is plenty of late-game optional content to challenge the limits of your spatial reasoning. This keeps the game fun for casual and ambitious players alike.

Different objects (pulsars, Dyson spheres, satellites, etc) follow correspondingly different rules. As the game progresses, the interactions between different objects generate increasingly interesting results. This is a game which vows to "go for it" on any worthwhile ideas, no matter the scope.

Features include: 

  • Over 300 carefully handcrafted levels

  • Tons of highly unique mechanics

  • An atmospheric, spacey OST

  • A strong focus on quality of life features
