Stellata Waterway
An endless runner heavily inspired by the hoverboard levels from Klonoa 2 and retro PlayStation graphics.
If you go for a high score, I'd love to hear what you got in a comment!
My best is 450503.
Controls
- WASD to Move
- Space to Jump
- K / Left-Click to Hit
- P / Right-Click to Recall Star
(Pointer shows which star will be recalled next.) - R to Restart
Scoring
- Colorful stars grant more points.
- Stars gain color each time they're hit, granting more and more points.
- Each spiraling star boosts overall point gain.
- As your score increases, you gradually move faster and faster, changing how obstacles need to be traversed.
Note: For some reason, the browser version only saves your score after you press R to play again.
[Updated 12/12/2022] Scoring adjusted - building scoring by hitting the same star repeatedly is less effective, but building score by managing multiple stars is more effective. Small visual clarity improvements. Minor level adjustments.
[Updated 12/13/2022] Speed at high scores reduced.

great game, it's fun to perfect the "star juggling"
Thank you! Cool to see some similarity to your game Ultratoro - we need more runner games on weird geometries!
yeaaah! it's an insane genre just waiting to be explored. So much untapped potential
nowhere close to your high score, but so far my best is 21294. to be continued.....!!
37093!!
nice! a small exploit-y thing you can do with one star is spam recall immediately after a hit to get multiple hits, and it seems best to focus on building up one star anyway. thanks for playing Joey!
yeah i tried to chain them but i'm really bad at it haha. does seem like the strategy though! (although i think it's really fun to have a lot of stars)
new best is 90,048 B)
It reminds me of a Vectrex game! Very arcady and neat
