About Star-Wired
A Game Design Capstone Project - By DePaul University Students!
After returning from a star-dust-scavenging trip, Bit, our little starling captain, finds his Ship commandeered by an intergalactic militia, the Infestors. To save his home, he ventures within the circuits of his Starship friend, to rewire damage done by the Infestors and rid the circuits of malware.
Star-Wired is a whimsical, endearing, top-down puzzle game, with a focus on plugging in cables to power level mechanics! The cables can be pushed, tangled, pulled, wrapped around, and swung to complete circuits and open the exit door of each level.

"Star-Wired" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from the Catholic research institution, DePaul University in the USA. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. This is an unusual puzzle game, while the mechanics aren't unique, they are rare. Basically this is a game of routing cables with janky game physics to complete each puzzle level by getting the paths right.
