Your flying finally has a score

Rescues chain now. Keep them going and you climb the combo ranks, warm streak to hot streak to blazing to SUPERNOVA, and the rank multiplies everything you earn. Break the chain and you start again.

Flying close pays

Grazing a black hole used to be a near miss. Now it is worth points, and skimming two in a single flight pays the daredevil bonus. The safe line across the field is no longer the best line.

The holes fight back

Blasting a black hole still makes it wider and slower. What is new: charge one all the way and it collapses in a shockwave.

New friends, new problems

Some friends drift. Some fade fast, so they are a timer, not a target. Some are armored, and you have to crack the bubble before you can reach them.

The boss is a real fight

Every tenth wave a cosmic horror opens its maw on a rhythm. Learn the rhythm and shoot the opening, or commit and launch yourself straight down its throat.

Somewhere new every ten waves

Zones now, from the shallows out to the beyond, each with its own look.

A daily run

The same field for everyone, once a day. No streak to protect, nothing to lose by skipping a day.

Every screen redrawn

The title, settings, achievements, pause and the run summary share one look now: deep space, violet glass, and starlight gold where it means something. Settings reads properly at last, all ten achievements fit on one page, the heads-up display got tidied, and it holds together from 1280x720 up to 2560x1440 in all eight languages.

And the small thing I like most

Starboi holds his breath the whole way across, then sighs with relief when he lands safely. Miss the landing and he stays focused instead.

Also in 2.0

  • Instant restarts, and a run summary with your top-10 table

  • Your best combo and your grazes tracked

  • 10 achievements and leaderboards

  • Full controller remapping

  • 8 languages

  • Colorblind modes, reduce motion, and flash toggles

  • The same Star Boi music. That was never going anywhere.

Starboi 2.0 exists because of what the first version did not earn. If you play it, the feedback button in the pause menu goes straight to me.
