Overview
Description

Take the helm of the Acme Interstellar Transport Company and travel from planet to planet, assembling rockets and gathering precious resources. Use your Hydrovac Jet Pac to lift cargo and your Quad Photon Laser Phasers to fend off hostile aliens. Manage fuel pods, collect gems, and master precise landings to become the richest pilot in the universe. Simple controls hide a deep challenge that rewards skillful timing and strategic planning.

Take the reins of Starshot, the star‑juggling hero of the Space Circus, as you battle the rival Virtua Circus and its evil director Wolfgang von Ravel. Travel across four exotic planets, recruit quirky characters, and use your ability to walk, run, swim, fly and shoot controllable stars to overcome challenges. The story unfolds with a high‑stakes loan from the Intergalactic Bank, a daring weapons‑expo heist, and a final showdown that determines the fate of the circus. With rich 3D graphics and over 300 cosmical characters, this single‑player platform adventure blends comedy, sci‑fi action, and classic platforming fun.
