About This Game

Welcome to All the Stars – a retro-inspired space adventure combining thrilling combat, awe-inspiring cosmic exploration, and a choice. Please note: this game is locked to a tall, "phone-like" aspect ratio for a classic vertical shooter experience. If you play remote play co-op you must first both have controllers connected.

The Story: Humanity stands on the brink of war with a mysterious alien race, and your mission is clear: reach their homeworld and deploy the ultimate weapon, a 100-gigaton bomb—AKA the "supernova-in-a-can." Along the way, you’ll face powerful alien horrors, endless waves of enemy ships, and the haunting emptiness of space. The fate of an entire species rests in your hands.

Gameplay: All the Stars delivers classic, fast-paced, arcade-style action, enhanced with modern mechanics. Master your ship's movement, dodge enemy fire, and use five unique power-ups, with 12 power-ups and upgrades total, to dominate the battlefield. The game also features endless waves of enemies, with dynamically increasing difficulty. AI-controlled ships offer tactical challenges, while the power-ups give players a chance to turn the tide of battle.

Unique Features:

Retro-inspired Combat: Arcade-style shooting meets modern game design.
Multiple Endings: It's not just humanity's fate that hangs in the balance.
Epic Boss Battles: Face three powerful, Lovecraftian-inspired alien bosses.
Custom Art and Music: MS Paint-inspired visuals and original retro tunes create a nostalgic, vibrant experience.
Endless Mode: Difficulty increases endlessly, pushing your skills to the limit.
Colorblind Mode: Added for enhanced accessibility.
Why You Should Play:
All the Stars is the first game made by an amateur developer, created with passion and dedication. Though it may not be perfect, the game is a tribute to classic arcade titles, blending strategic gameplay with narrative depth. Inspired by childhood memories of playing Galaga with his late father, Zach worked through countless bugs and revisions, guided by feedback from friends and family, to create a game that entertains the soul and challenges the mind.

In a world filled with empty promises of grandeur, All the Stars delivers a genuine adventure. There are no loading screens or microtransactions between you and the vastness of space—only your decisions will shape the universe around you.
