Simple, Fast And Fun
Our mission was simple. We wanted to keep Starball simple and fun.
A game you can enjoy and come back to time and time again.
Simple HUD, easy-to-read colour-coded level progression, catchy music, and solid mechanics.
No over complicated power ups, impossible goals, or a buggy bat and ball.
Anyone Can Play
Starball is a game anyone can play. Age does not matter. If you can press a button, you can play.
You have a number of special abilities to assist you.
These include rockets that destroy groups of blocks, exploding comets that cause massive damage, and a slower but more deadly comet with a devastating effect.
Use these carefully to achieve maximum impact. They will not regenerate.
The Challenge
Your mission is clear: smash as many StarRocks as possible and rack up a huge score.
Sounds easy. Then remember… this is the ZX Spectrum.
You have three minutes per level to blast your way across 20 exhilarating levels, weaving around the map to the sounds of Cyndi Lauper and Starship pumping through your speakers.
The more rocks you destroy, the higher your score.
Finish fast and leftover time is added as bonus points.
Take too long and your score starts slipping away. Space-time can be your best friend, or your worst enemy.
Power-Ups And Survival
You start with five lives, with chances to grab extra ones along the way.
Survival takes quick reflexes, sharp thinking, and a steady nerve.
Three power-ups are ready to help.
One unleashes a self-destruct pulse that clears nearby blocks while keeping your life intact.
The other super-sizes your comet, slows down, and then explodes.
Missiles will take out entire columns of blocks.
Collect keys to unlock doors, plan your moves carefully, and stay one step ahead of trouble.
Keep your focus, keep moving, and whatever you do… never switch off.
Do you have what it takes to beat the odds, top the high-score table, and become the ultimate Starball champion?
