Touch the Stars
Reach for the stars!
The more stars you touch, the more your character levels up. The more your character levels up, the more stars you can touch.
It gets quite sparkly!

This game was made for MyFirstGameJam Winter 2023. The theme: Growth. I made this to recapture the joy of making games. Even if this one is less than 10% of the game I wanted to make, I enjoyed the process and hope it continues to grow.

Great job on the visual and sound effects of the stars! I played this on desktop browser so not sure if it displayed correctly (screenshot attached) but I was able to play it anyway :D
Looks like some of the UI elements are smaller in your browser, but otherwise looks playable! I'm guessing your browser size is above 100%? Just tested this myself and found they don't scale to your browser size. This would be a quick fix; thanks for helping me find a bug!
Glad you enjoyed the star effects! I put each star there by hand, so if you reach higher levels you may see some pretty cool patterns. Just see what happens after level 100 ;)
Very satisfying game :) Polished gfx and great sound .. At first i thought it was just a cute little game .. after level 30 i was ADDICTED :)
Great job!
I'm glad you were satisfied! I think it helps that you can predict where the stars will show up and that it keeps building up with levels. That's all it takes to make a game loop that will keep you hooked!
Cute, strangely satisfying game that tapped into my "make the number go up" lizard brain! I loved the sound design and clicking the stars feels great :)
This game is a great base! If combos, music, and or powerups were added (ie. you could cash stars in to improve your character) I think I'd be sat playing this for a few hours :)
Great work and have a good one!
This game was destined to grow: it's in the theme! ;)
I hope it can be more than a "numbers go up" game in concept. Maybe the stars could tell a story? Maybe they could tell secrets about other games I make. Maybe you as a player could send star patterns to other players!
great game, sadly there was no sound which was a bit upsetting but was a fun experience!
i tried attaching a image but it didnt work anyways i got to level 69 (nice)
Sound will need some testing, but I'll add some in the next update!
edit: Sound is here!
(also, nice)
I really like getting lots of them in one pass with the mouse. If you wanted to continue the concept I would make combos give you more points and add some upgrades, just simple things that might make your cursor bigger or something like that
These are ideas I could implement in no time! How about combo meter that builds up "star power" that you can use for stuff?
