Not just the looks of a classic game, also the gameplay of a classic platformer. This game is NOT EASY! you have an endless amount of lives, so you can quickly restart a level when you miss a jump, get hit by an enemy, get bitten by a plant, get hit by a spiky-ball, crushed by big statues, run onto spikes, get hit by a wasp, or any of the other many ways you’ll get stopped in your run. BUT when you do complete a level, the rush you get will keep you coming back for more, and more, and more, and.. Unlock special temple levels by finding hidden keys, unlock a flip-mode by completing a level both within the time set, and also by collecting all the coins in a level. Stardash is all about the gameplay thrown at you in awesome retro graphics and original chiptunes. ** OTHERS SAY: "all the ingredients needed for platforming excellence" - iFanzine "Orange Pixel nailed everything they were going for in this veritable symphony of old school gaming." - Appolicious "back to my early years, playing my favorite platform games" - unbound gamer "if you’re not gonna grab this, you will miss something truly wonderful" - app-score

Perfect old school platformer.
12/01/2012

Carlos from Philly
Very smart, reflex (and patience) based platformer. Demand for timing and precision ramps up quickly as the levels/worlds progress, which keeps gameplay exciting.As a bonus, the four ways of beating each level (coins, dash, flip, key) give each of the short levels multiple and distinct feels.Very smart indeed.A star off for minor bugs (ie, you can use flip from a previous level on a later level without earning it; sometimes entering later levels requires an exit and enter again to get the right one), but all around a killer platformer that gets hard. Lamers will hate this game.

Great game, needs tweaking

It's like playing an old, but yet new, gameboy game. Very cool throwback. That said the proximity to enemies kills needs work--you'll die when you don't touch them. In a weird way the quirks that need fixing almost remind me even more of the retro carts...

This game captures the look and feel of a 1990's Game Boy platformer. It's programmed very well with controls that are consistent and easy to learn. The levels look pretty simple, but are quite difficult as they progress. The time stars are a real challenge! Amazing work overall. I've put hours into this game and enjoyed it for over 2 years at this point. Woot!

...not even the very first level can be beaten without jumping. This would not be a problem if the jump button hadn't disappeared after the latest update. Oops. 😏
