Hello!
I have been working on this project since April 2022 and may as well introduce it here.

UPDATE
Playable demo is now available!


itch.io: https://sonargames.itch.io/balls-n-stars-2
Game Jolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/ballsnstars2/721902





Balls n' Stars 2 is an arcade-style physics platform puzzle, hit as many stars as possible using as less launches as possible. Strategy is key!

Explore the Isles of Hoshi as you venture to tackle the challenges given by the islanders to ramp up the islands' reputation and attract more adorable Star Fairies to visit the islands!

GIFs from the dev build



Further progress will be posted here, albeit a bit later than the previous.

Character (Star Fairies) reference

I love it!

Why have I never heard of Balls n Stars 1  Huh?

This should have been either a late 90s game or an Android game like Angrybirds. Please go back in time and make it so Gentleman

Expressions on the ball’s face are a good detail. There could be plenty of constantly changing facial animations depending on player actions: tired when the aiming takes too long, laughing or supporting reaction on player’s failures etc. It could make a simple ball to a sympathetic creature, perhaps even guide the player.

About the ball, like in the first game, there will be different designs available
I may make some unlockable by completing challenges or something
