changedA NOTE ON EARLY ACCESS:Early Access allows us to get the game into your hands sooner, and to make choices about the direction of future updates with help from our community. It also allows us a bit more time to polish art, audio, and bug fix while the game is still fully playable. Let us know in the comments if you prefer any of our scoped feature additions, or if there are other features you'd like to see that we haven't thought of yet!

changedHISTORY:Starship began as a very different solo Jam project ( available free on Itch.io ) with the concept of minimalist touch-capable controls and an endless physics-driven gameloop. We took it on as a team in the first half of 2025, established the Pinball theme, and built the foundation for a procedural progression system. From there, we worked with a student artist to design and develop visuals, created dozens of levels inspired by real pinball tables, and optimized the project for mid-spec computers, gamepad, and mobile.

STEAM DECK SUPPORT:

Starship is designed for mobile and gamepad, and we want it to be great on Steam Deck. At launch, Steam Deck is fully playable with a Gamepad configuration and we plan to further optimize the game for Steam Deck's wide screen and touch in a similar fashion to Downwell and other mobile-first games.
