More about this game
In this fast-paced reaction game, your goal is to collect as many falling stars as possible to build up your score. Different colored stars award varying points, from one point for red stars up to ten points for violet ones. As the timer ticks up, the stars fall faster and spawn more frequently. The run ends immediately if you tap a black bomb star, or if you let three regular stars slip past the bottom of the screen.
Tips
- Prioritize tapping the stars closest to the bottom edge first. Missing a regular star costs you one of your three starting lives, which quickly ruins a good run.
- Learn the color values to maximize your score. Violet stars grant ten points and blue stars grant seven, making them high-priority targets when the screen gets crowded.
- The black bomb spawn chance starts at eighteen percent and slowly increases the longer you survive. Always double-check your targets before tapping rapidly during the later stages.
Questions
How many lives do I get?
You start the game with exactly three lives. You lose one life every time a regular colored star falls past the bottom of the screen, so catch them quickly.
What happens if I click a bomb?
Clicking a black bomb star causes an immediate game over, regardless of how many lives you have left. You must ignore them and let them fall off the screen safely.
Why are the stars falling faster?
The game increases the base fall speed by a small multiplier every five seconds. The spawn interval also decreases over time, meaning more stars will appear on screen at once.
