Starskim

Starskim is a 3D sci-fi racing game. A small ship flies forward between tall pale blocks while a counter shows how far you have gone, and the run ends when it hits something.

How to play

1. On the start screen, press PLAY.
2. The ship flies forward on its own; watch the Distance box at the top left.
3. Use the arrow keys to try to steer between the blocks.
4. After a crash, the record screen shows your distance in meters and the credits you collected.
5. Press Restart to fly again, Store to open the shop or Exit to go back to the start screen.
6. In the shop, ships have prices; with no credits each one says Not enough credits.

What you see on screen

• Start screen: the Starskim logo with Play and Store buttons over a blurred city of blocks.
• Flight: your ship with a trail of sparks, pale blocks on both sides and a small Distance and Target box.
• Shop: Red Falcon at 1000 credits, Blue Falcon at 5000, Silver Falcon at 10000 and Black Sniper.

Tips

• Expect short runs. All twelve of our runs ended in a crash within nine seconds.
• Do not count on a steering key. Distances from 143 to 518 meters came up with and without keys.
• Credits did not come easily: our runs collected none, and the shop stayed locked.
• Read our sci-fi racing game tips for the numbers behind these tips.
