StarTerrace

Features

Concept Enjoy the thrill of precisely controlling the paddle with intense focus, bouncing the ball, and shooting through the stars. Genre A fun casual game that blends brick breaker, golf, and beautiful graphics. Rules Clear the stage by hitting the star with the ball to make it shine. Fewer shots result in a better score. There are 3 stage sets, and rankings are determined by the total number of shots. Controls Move the paddle to bounce the ball. Fun Features Feel the satisfaction of avoiding and destroying obstructing blocks to break through and hit the star. Eye-catching stages made with 16×16 pixel art. The paddle is not a typical shape, giving you many angles and options for precise shots. Blocks have different life values based on their color. The ball has levels and gains experience when hitting blocks. Higher levels deal more damage to block life. Choosing whether to level up before advancing or go straight for the star adds a strategic element to achieving better scores. A Message from the Developer I’m still a relatively unknown indie game developer, so this game is free to play. If you enjoyed it, I’d really appreciate it if you shared it with your friends. Store reviews are also greatly appreciated!
