About the Game

Move. Calculate. Survive.

Stellar Protocol is a grid-based puzzle game where every move counts.

Guide your unit through 99 increasingly dangerous levels

and learn the rules of each new threat by facing them yourself.

THINK BEFORE YOU MOVE

Every level has a move limit. Rushing leads to failure.

Study the board, understand what each block does

and find the path that no one told you about.

DISCOVER, DON'T BE TOLD

Each stage introduces new blocks with their own behavior.

No manual. No spoilers.

The more levels you clear, the more you'll understand

and the more dangerous things become.

THREE STRIKES

You have 3 attempts per run. Each failure deducts from your score.

Reach 3 failures and it's Game Over — your score is locked in history.

CHASE THE OPTIMAL PATH

Clear levels on the first attempt with the fewest moves possible

to unlock maximum score bonuses.

Can you achieve a perfect run across all 99 levels?

TRACK YOUR LEGACY

Every run is recorded. Your highest-scoring clears are saved to history

and an All Clear of all 99 levels is marked in gold, forever.

99 hand-crafted puzzle levels

New block mechanics introduced throughout the game

Move-limit scoring system with optimal path bonuses

Full gamepad support

Persistent score history with All Clear recognition
