Hello everyone! I'm YANG, the solo developer behind Starfire. After a year and eight months of full-time development, I'm excited to announce that the demo for my 2D hand-drawn side-scrolling Boss Rush game, Starfire, has been officially submitted to Steam for review!
About Starfire:
This project fuses the intense action of classic side-scrolling Boss Rush with a dreamy, hand-drawn anime art style. Here’s what awaits you:
Pure Boss-Rush Action: Take on a series of uniquely designed bosses. Test your reflexes and strategy against complex bullet patterns and fast-paced combat.
A Unique Hand-Drawn World: Every scene, character, and animation is crafted by my hand, creating a vibrant and personal fantasy universe.
A Fully Solo Endeavor: I have created every part of this game alone ，coding, art, animation, VFX, and music， It has been a challenging and immensely rewarding journey.
