Inside a Star-filled Sky

One of my favorite relaxation games. I've had it for over a decade, always installed and ready to play because it's so lightweight. It goes on infinitely in every direction and I find that incredibly relaxing. 5 minutes in this games unwinds years of stress for me.

very good and amazing concept for a game... but OMG the confusion... amd i in the enemy, am in myself, amd I an an upgrade inside and enemy within an enemy within myself all at once> the layers... its just.. so much to keep track of.. You get hit at the beginning and you're inside yourself.. get hit again and you're deeper in yourself, but its still a level with upgrades and enemies..get hit againt.. well now the DIFF is hardmode+ and enemies have machine guns and sticky explosives... time to ALT+F4 and RESTART....

Pretty fun level transition gameplay. Reminds me of Disgaea Item dungeons.

I'm not even going to review this as a game, because it is not a game. It is educational software, demonstrating what a waste of time looks like. Please do not buy this. Linux is free.

Game gets points for innovation and interesting concepts. It has some pretty major QoL issues (to be fair, it's an indie game over a decade old) and frankly just isn't my kind of thing. It reminds me a bit of my attempt to play Yume Nikki, where a goal wasn't really outlined and I just kind of floundered for a bit. Also I can't figure out how to zoom out so I can't read half the tutorialization because it zips offscreen so fast.

Weird, no instructions, and doesn't make sense. It has a bunch of things (eg "temporary flags", "permanent flags", etc) which are never explained, and *sometimes* appear to do something. But also, sometimes do absolutely nothing. And there's no way to save a game, restore where you were up to, etc. Seems like there's some useful concept here, but it's just so frustrating to run around and have no friggin idea wtf is going on. All it probably needed was better explanation/instructions. :(
