Play Overview
Star Stuff (2024) is a puzzle adventure where you help a young alien on their first day at a star factory by solving logic and coding puzzles. You explore each level, code your own bots (without needing to know any actual coding), and save the ever-expanding universe.
Star Stuff is a cosmic coding puzzler that takes place in a factory that fabricates stars and shoots them into space. You are Mija (me-ha), a bright-eyed engineer on their first day on the job. You move Mija around freely as they help the alien solve a mix of coding and fun puzzles.
As you progress you discover a series of mishaps that need your attention. In this way, you slowly bring calm and order to the chaos. The coding combines Scratch-style blocks with the game-world objects to make the connection between the logic and the solution. Between puzzles, you can take a break in the cosy star factory lobbies and interact with familiar but curious objects.
The result is a game where you solve a big problem one step at a time. With over 70 hand-crafted puzzles there is a challenge that scales with your ability.
