Galaxy Stars (2026)
In Galaxy Stars you are a small spinning star in a crowded galaxy, and your job is to make the other stars explode. Bump a star three times, or ram it once at full boost, and it swells up and goes supernova, setting off any stars nearby in a chain reaction. Some stars turn red and hunt you down, but a well-timed boost sends them flying into explosions of their own. Clear every star in time and move on to the next, busier galaxy. Designed by Rev.

Objective Make every star in the galaxy go supernova, without getting caught in the blasts or touched by hostile stars. Controls • Joystick in port 2: move in 8 directions • Fire: boost (2.5x speed for a moment, then a short cooldown) • Fire on the title screen: start the game • Run/Stop: pause Tips • Bump a star 3 times, or hit it once while boosting, and it swells and explodes 2 seconds later. Get clear! • Explosions set off nearby stars, so line up chain reactions for big scores. • Hostile red stars cost you a life if they touch you, unless you are boosting: then they get hurled away and explode. • Grab a quasar for 8 seconds of invincibility. • Each galaxy lasts 60 seconds; time left over is added as a bonus. Modes • 1 player, 3 lives, 21 galaxies • Extra life at 100,000 points and every 300,000 after that
