Not just the looks of a classic game, also the gameplay of a classic platformer. This game is NOT EASY! you have an endless amount of lives, so you can quickly restart a level when you miss a jump, get hit by an enemy, get bitten by a plant, get hit by a spiky-ball, crushed by big statues, run onto spikes, get hit by a wasp, or any of the other many ways you’ll get stopped in your run. BUT when you do complete a level, the rush you get will keep you coming back for more, and more, and more, and.. Unlock special temple levels by finding hidden keys, unlock a flip-mode by completing a level both within the time set, and also by collecting all the coins in a level. Stardash is all about the gameplay thrown at you in awesome retro graphics and original chiptunes. ** OTHERS SAY: "all the ingredients needed for platforming excellence" - iFanzine "Orange Pixel nailed everything they were going for in this veritable symphony of old school gaming." - Appolicious "back to my early years, playing my favorite platform games" - unbound gamer "if you’re not gonna grab this, you will miss something truly wonderful" - app-score

Jump, tap, and survive! In Jump Jump Bye! every move counts — one mistake and it’s game over. Your character is always bouncing on the spot. • Tap and hold to move sideways and reveal more of the world. • Release to stop moving but keep jumping in place. Sounds simple? Think again: • Wooden boxes block your path. Some are solid, others cracked — they’ll collapse after a few jumps. • Yellow boxes act as power-ups, giving you a higher jump to cover more distance. • Below lies a deadly field of spiky cacti. Fall into them and it’s Bye! — you’ll instantly restart from the first platform. Your mission: go as far as you can before the desert ends your run. Quick reflexes, perfect timing, and sharp focus are the only way to beat your own high score. Game Features • Ultra-simple one-touch controls: tap, hold, release. • Fast rounds with instant restart — pure arcade flow. • Pixel-art retro style with modern polish. • Cracked boxes add a tactical risk element. Perfect for short breaks or long play sessions, Jump Jump Bye! will test your reflexes again and again. Can you master the rhythm and survive the cactus pit?
