〇 Star is a dungeon crawler RPG built for the SNES. Explore the mountains of the ancient far east and fight your way through the shifting mazes all the way to the top. 

Use your favorite SNES emulator to play this game! Don't have an emulator, I recommend Mesen or BSNES.

Please note, 〇 Star is currently in release version: 1.01. There are known bugs and issues will be resolved in coming days. 

1.01 patch notes:
Tightened up the player walking box (so you're not blinded by enemies coming onto screen anymore)
Fixed a bug where main hub wouldn't load

Added new sound effects:
 • When printing talisman
 • When there is not enough money to buy a talisman
 • On player damaged
 • On player death

〇 Star is still being worked on. The game in its current form should be thought of as an early pre-release. The full refined experience is in the works. More new enemies, bosses, powerups, and other content will be coming soon.

Excellent work! I’ve noticed that every once in a while, chickens can spawn inside the walls when two rooms/hallways spawn close to each other, other than this, it looks great!

I am not sure I fully understand the game:

  1. The goal is to kill 9999 chickens?
  2. You can collect money? But how can I spend it?
  3. Also when pressing X there are all kinds of symbols with a 0000 beneath it. What is this?
  4. There is a sword slash and a punch - what exactly is the difference?

Hi sir, the game in its current state is a bit strange, I'll give you that. Yes, the goal is to kill 9999 chickens or make it to dungeon level 9999. 

X opens the inventory, those symbols are talisman, throwable items the player can use. At the player's base hub, turn right and you'll see printing presses where you can buy more talisman with the cash you collect. 

There isn't a big difference between slash and punch, but punch also functions as throw if the talisman is equipped. 

Thanks for your comments, I assume you haven't seen the video I made on this project so it's nice to have a pair of fresh eyes on it to give me some feedback on it. If you have any other comments on the game, please let me know.

I unnecessarily went out of my way to use New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS to convert the version 1.0 ROM you made to a .cia to be playable on the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles via Virtual Console injection. You can find it here (Directly links to the .cia hosted on my Mediafire account)


To Inkbox: If you want me to take it down, I will be more than happy to do so. I figured that making it into a 3DS-compatible format would mean more easy access, since 3DS homebrew allows custom Virtual Console roms. Congrats on completing development by the way!

Very cool!
