a kurzgesagt universe

The universe is a fascinating, yet unexplored place – it's about time to change that! Join your flock of Star Birds on a mission across the great beyond, establish a thriving mining operation, and discover new technologies to advance even further. And who knows? Maybe you'll encounter something that's truly out of this world ...

About This Demo

Star Birds is a colorful sci-fi building and resource management game where you help your population of spacefaring birds prosper and thrive. No matter if you're a genre veteran or want to get a foot into an oftentimes overwhelming space: the Star Birds will be happy to have you by their side. And not just because chaos would ensue very quickly without you.

This official Star Birds demo gives you a free sneak-peek into the gameplay and campaign that awaits you in the Early Access release of the game launching later this year.

It features the first two campaign levels, and an additional replayable and procedurally generated Expedition Level where you can hone and further develop your sklills on your own.

With the initial levels of this Demo you'll get the hang of the core gameplay and a glimpse into the game's story campaign, introducing a galactic mystery that will unfold in the release version.

We want to offer you a taste of what awaits you in Star Birds, it's unique mix of base-building gameplay, mining and production mechanics and a story campaign that will be continued in the full game.

As an indie team we see the demo as a great chance to receive first hand player feedback from you!

We want to develop Star Birds closely with the community and welcome your messages, feedback and bug reports here in the Steam Community Hub or in our Discord.

Now it’s your turn, we hope you enjoy!

What awaits you in the Demo:
Scan nearby asteroids and use your rover to uncover hidden resources ranging from ice and metals to rather obscure things. Build production facilities to mine resources and automate the manufacturing of increasingly advanced goods. Deliver products to your space station to fulfill quests and satisfy the needs of your birds, however odd these might be. Establish trading routes to create a bustling cosmic production network and ultimately take off to foreign star systems to pursue the mysteries of your galaxy!

360° Base Building

Place buildings on procedurally generated asteroids and build your own little worlds floating in space. Use each asteroid's unique shape and available space to create the perfect base for your interstellar adventures. Take the role of a cosmic pioneer and strategically place and connect production facilities with hand-drawn-pipes to optimize the extraction of resources.

Explore and Experiment

Gather resources and explore different ways to transform and combine them into a variety of goods you're going to need for your mission. Investigate the asteroid's surface, scout for rare materials and excavate mysterious artifacts.

Missions and Mysteries

Fulfill the needs of your star birds by producing and supplying their desired goods, however unusual they might be... Take on quests to earn rewards and unlock new technologies and secrets!

Automate and Admire

Establish an ever-growing network of production chains throughout your star system. Improve and optimize, or sit back and watch the satisfying rhythm of your bustling space factory.

Set out for the stars!

Upgrade your space station and research advanced technologies. Unlock new production paths and increase their efficiency to start your journey into the unknown depths of space and uncover its mysteries!

Star Birds is made by Toukana Interactive, creators of Dorfromantik, and the curiosity sparking animation studio kurzgesagt – in a nutshell. A match made in space, but also in Germany. With each side extending the other a wing, this collaboration has gone from bad puns about fruit to creating a colorful space mining operation that we're proud to send our birds on.

Speaking of: No birds were harmed in the creation of this game, we promise!
