Once in a decade, a creature known as STARling would be born from the stars. they are able to produce raw energy known as STARs. these became important source of life and many respected the STARlings for their ability.
There is however one unfortunate STARling who couldn't produce any STARs. he is a little owl who possessed a star-shaped face. People despised him for betraying their "ray of hope" and the STARlings mocked him as well. As to make things worse, his unnatural appearance made him unable to hide his identity whatsoever. So he decided use his appearance to turn against the STARlings by working as a travelling clown.
He gained many supporter at first but many STARlings couldn't stand his jokes. They treated him as an offender and people who sided with him were banned from supply of STARs. Eventually everyone stopped watching his shows and he fell into ultimate poverty. Due to his poor state of welfare he turned into the darkside and became a ruthless thief who steal STARs in the nights.
GAMEPLAY:STARlings is an avoider game with the owl as main character, using flat-minimalist theme as the art direction.
Player controls the owl by using mouse. The objective is to get as much STARforce (score) as possible until the STARmina (
) runs out.
STARs will be spawned by entity such as meteor, bird, etc. Each of it with different behavior.
There are 3 types of STAR
-Yellow: Give Coin and STARforce, Coin would be used to buy upgrade and STARpower.
-Blue: Give AP STARforce, AP is needed for using STARpower.
-Red: Decrease STARmina.
STARpower is an ability that can be used to heal STARmina, become invincible, etc.
The game is on early phase of development. The gameplay and story is not conclusive, as we still trying to make the best of it.
