Flightless Star

You play as Riki, a magic bird lost in space trying to find its way home.
In this dangerous journey the unfortunate protagonist will be challenged by gravity itself. In gameplay that requires observation, timing and a little bit of puzzle solving.

The game is similar to a 2D puzzle platformer, but, instead of jumping, Riki launches himself into space to reach other planets, while the trajectory is affected by their treacherous gravity fields. The player must run, dash and jump from one planet to another to advance through the level, while avoiding the hazards in the way.

As you overcome these perilous path, Riki learns new important movement skills to deal with the new challenges, and the player uncovers the complicated events that brought the ill-fated bird into such a dire situation.

"Just remember. Follow the lights, and you will find your way."


Unusual and challeging:
Challenging gameplay that requires precision, timing, observation and a little bit of puzzle solving;

Dying and retrying is part of the game, and with short levels there is little loss of progress on death;

The game starts simple, but with new mechanics added every stage the complexity rises gradually;

Some new mechanics will drastically change how you play;

The game includes useful (and wacky) assist modes for those who prefer a less demanding experience;

While advancing through the level the difficulty rises, reaching its climax in the final stage. In the next level the difficulty goes back down and new elements and mechanics are introduced, rising the complexity of the game;
