Reviews

“The playful surrealness of its lighthearted musical adventure thus gives way to nightmarish logic and eventually outright horror.”
8 – Edge

“It’s hard to really figure out what Starstruck: Hands of Time is about based on trailers or screenshots.”
8.5 – Destructoid

“Only after playing through the whole game will you realize that Starstruck is a philosophical work that uses cross-dimensional rhetoric to explain the importance of maintaining your identity, both in art and life.”

About This Game

Play guitar in an interactive rock opera


Play guitar in musical story segments, with a catchy soundtrack featuring live instruments and singing by Elsie Lovelock. If you still have your Guitar Hero or Rock Band guitar controller, dust it off, because this game supports it!

Destroy the world as a giant human hand


Demolish houses, solve puzzles, and open new paths for other characters as a giant hand. Unleash your destructive potential using hammers, screwdrivers, and more.

A strange game set in a miniature world


Save the future by exploring the strange diorama world of 20XX. Meet weirdly cute characters and unravel the mystery of how their little lives are connected to the end of mankind.

No rhythm? No problem


If you want to experience the music and story without the stresses of rhythm gameplay, you can enable "Autoplay" in the options menu. When Autoplay is enabled, the rhythm gameplay sections will play themselves.

Features

  • Explore three intertwined adventures set in a charming diorama world, switching characters to solve puzzles and change the future.
  • Play guitar and dodge attacks to an original soundtrack in catchy musical story segments.
  • Destroy the world as a giant human hand in hectic action-puzzle gameplay. (By the way, you can also customize the hand’s size and skin color.)
  • Extensive controller support allows you to play with your keyboard, Xbox controller, PS4 controller, Switch Pro Controller, or even guitar controller! You can also remap controls as you wish for the rhythm gameplay.
  • Adjust the difficulty level between "Normal" and "Master" mode for the rhythm gameplay to suit your style, or just sit back and watch with "Autoplay" mode.
  • Original soundtrack by acclaimed composer Andrew Allanson features live instruments and vocals spanning many genres.
