I appreciate the different play styles you can create: either play actively or stock up on more “tower defense” items. I’m sure everyone will find what items work best for them, but experimentation is rewarded! This is a great offline game and levels seem to last indefinitely. Just make sure to manually save (save and quit) as shutting the app down mid game can cause you to lose progress! ### 5/5 — This game saved me *2023-07-19* What can I say, I was at rock bottom. My wife divorced me and I was addicted to porn. Airstar gave me that saving amount of sex-free dopamine that kept me going everyday. The sound design and vibes take me to a zen-like state. With much gratitude to the maker ~ Adiore o Feed ### 5/5 — High quality game that feels so classic *2023-07-19* Well designed, well executed, an absolute must for mobile gamers with a knack for an indie old school vibe. Absolute must play as the froggy character is just so cute. ### 5/5 — Return of the tower defense format *2023-07-12* I’m biased because my friend made this game, but even if i didnt know him this would definitely be the only game I play on my phone except Monument Valley or Sky. One recent college grad made this game on his own with his passion for old-school games. This goes back to app and indie game roots with the style and gameplay - really nostalgic, it feels like a super polished and professional version of those addictive games you used to play on miniclip or the first apps you got on your ipod touch. ### 5/5 — Life-enriching experience *2023-03-07* This is a well-perceived mobile indie game. Gameplay is simple to begin, but gets more challenging as you progress through waves. Looking forward to spending more hours with this game. ### 5/5 — 🐸 *2023-03-06* Could, and have, played this for hours. Discovering the synergies between upgrades feels very gratifying! And, the sound and music make the whole experience super pleasant. ### 5/5 — Great game to play to pass the time! *2023-03-06* This game has a really fun art style and the design is pretty unique. I love being able to challenge myself to see if I can beat my scores and get better. I also love the option to add accessories to your frog and change the colors, it’s always a fun touch. It’s pretty clear the developer put a lot of time into this game and it’s appreciated! Super fun to play when waiting in line or on a long plane ride. And only .99! Great game! ## Frequently asked questions about air ### What is air-star? air-star is a tower defense game where you play as a frog defending against luggage.
