A downloadable game for Windows

SUNDERSTAR is an early multiplayer 2D space shooter.

I’m building it solo, and the current version is still a rough prototype. Right now I’m testing the basics: can players connect, understand the controls, fight, and collect resources without me explaining every step?

In the current build, you can:

  • join a dedicated game server;
  • fly a ship with light arcade-style inertia;
  • aim with the mouse and fire manually;
  • switch the whole ship to automatic fire;
  • break asteroids and collect the resources they drop;
  • fight players from the other team;
  • respawn at your team’s base after your ship is destroyed;
  • compete for personal and team score.

This build is early. Expect bugs, rough balance, unfinished UI, and possible network problems.

Controls

  • WASD: move
  • Mouse: aim
  • Left mouse button: fire
  • E: toggle manual or automatic fire

Requirements

  • Windows
  • Keyboard and mouse
  • Internet connection

This page is currently meant for closed playtesting, not as a showcase for a finished game. If you join a test, one play session and a few honest notes afterward are enough.

The client is free to download, but access to the playtest server is invitation-only.
