About

Star Picnic

Features
Read full description

Save the galaxy's biggest picnic — with one thumb. The Munchies are hungry little space goofballs eating their way toward the Big Picnic, and only you (and your trusty Toaster) can shoo them off. Star Picnic is a cute, cozy arcade space shooter you play entirely with one thumb. HOLD to pew-pew and heat up. LET GO to glide, cool down, and lock your Zoomies. That's the whole game — easy to pick up, sneaky-deep to master. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Spicy Pews — the toastier your ship, the harder you hit. Ride the red line for double damage. • Snack Streak — chain kills and sprinkles into a Ɨ5 combo... but get bonked and it snaps. • One thumb, one hand — play on the couch, on the train, anywhere. PACK YOUR SNACKS • 3 cozy ships — the Toaster, the Waffle, and the wiggly Noodle • 5 upgrades each — Bubble Wrap, Juice Box, Popsicle Fins, Pew-Pew, Zoomies • 15 missions across 3 worlds — the Front Yard, the Rock Garden, and the spicy Deep End • 3 big, silly bosses — the Vending Machine, the Sneezer, and Mama Munch • Beat your best Snack Score on every mission NO NONSENSE • No ads. No timers. No energy meters. • Plays fully offline. • Made with love, googly eyes, and a lot of sprinkles. Grab your ship. Save the picnic.
