A 1980s-style arcade platformer that chases the real thing: fixed single-screen stages, a score worth fighting for, and the feel of the machine at your favorite pizza joint — with a modern twist. Climb, dodge and out-think weird and wacky enemies as you traverse the solar system.

  • Over 10 levels, each with multiple variations
  • Wacky characters set loose on a space adventure
  • Roguelike skill loadouts, so every round plays differently
  • Native arcade resolution, integer-scaled to your screen
  • Arcade-hard, with modern fairness in mind — no quarter munchers

Chasing the cabinet

Scanlines, a curved vignette and a perfect pixel ratio sit between the game and your screen. Unlock filters that make it look like the other consoles you grew up with. We love it because we were there.

The cosmic sport comes to Earth for the first time ever. Four ships, one arena, total MAYHEM. Put your driving to work and smash the competition out of the way to become champion. Pro tip: bring a helmet. You'll need it.

  • Up to 4 players on one screen, with real physics and abilities built for wrecking your friends
  • Nobody to play with? Story mode has you covered — get to know your favorite galaxy girls
  • A level editor built into the game, so you never run out of arenas
  • Got a buddy at home and one across the galaxy? Bring both into the same lobby — couch co-op and online together

Loud colors, louder hits

Inspired by grind fiction, this colorful game of tag is loud and proud. A strong sense of style and identity brings the hype home — or wherever you take it.

The studio

Built by one person, with a vision

StarGlaze Games was started by Andres Reyes, an award-winning game developer who saw what his industry was turning into and wanted to change it.

The future of play matters, and the higher we build, the harder we fall. Too many cooks, too many overseers — when you make games for everyone, you truly satisfy no one.

So most of the work happens at the same desk. It's slower, but it keeps the games strange in the ways that matter: games that are greater than the sum of their parts. That's StarGlaze.

Limits on purpose

Fixed resolutions, tight palettes, integer-pixel movement. The constraints come first and the design grows inside them.

Modern systems, retro feel

Modern game design solutions, working inside the limitations of the '80s and '90s.

Own the scores

Online leaderboards and high-score tables, keeping the arcade competition alive no matter where you are in the galaxy.
