The most excellent point of this game is invention of a play, using the theme of ☆.
At first, the operation was so difficult that I almost gave up several times. It was a wonder that I could not stop my desire, “I want to operate this star-shaped strange character at will!”
Gradually, the more I played, the better I was at this game. When I could kick behind well and run fast, I was very satisfied because the operation was very difficult.
After 15 minutes of my practice, I could operate the game almost as I liked. Still, I could not do it well, and this disappointment reduced my joy. I wish the developers had adjusted better so that the operation and movement could be more instinctive. The selection committee members had different perspectives on that point.
Yet, this game is better at applying this theme into play and creating a good concept than other games though it has a problem. I would like to applaud from my heart.
Thank you for letting me experience a game with fresh operational feeling.

A player operates an extendable star-shaped character, aiming at the goal in this horizontal scroll action game.
The character rolls over by expanding its five corners of star-shaped body and contradicting to jump to go ahead. The point to win the game is to use gimmicks on the stages well such as going over with the power of steam, and rotating with a corner in the gear engaged.
A player can enjoy a special sense of achievement when the player reaches the goal by operating the character at will. The developer excellently expressed the play with the theme of ☆ and the world view of the steam punk by using distinguishing graphics and BGM.
