Inside a Star-filled Sky is an infinite, recursive, tactical shooter by award-winning designer Jason Rohrer (Passage, Between). What if you could enter an object in a level and find a level inside of it? What if you could enter an object in that level and find another level inside of that?
What if you could change an enemy or a power-up from the inside? What if you could enter and change yourself? What if these levels inside levels inside levels went all the way down---and all the way up?
Inside a Star-filled Sky is a hard, procedurally-generated shmup built around this core concept.

Key features:

Unique recursive gameplay
Enter things---enemies, power-ups, and even yourself---to alter them for your tactical advantage
Procedurally generated levels, along with a massive bullet combo system, offer limitless tactical variety
Dozens of ways to approach each challenge---reflex your way through, blast your way through, or think your way through
Dynamic soundtrack is procedurally generated based on moment-to-moment gameplay
Plant your flag throughout an infinite level space to mark your discoveries, and see flags planted by others via a global flag server

It's a neat concept, but right now that's all it is. Get it as part of a bundle.

(My playtime of the direct-download version isn't reflected on Steam)

A neat and tight little game of infinite recursion and stacked layers. The gameplay is simple and the whole thing creates a really nice relaxing atmosphere. It's a good chill-down game, and I keep my non-Steam copy on a flash drive for when I'm traveling and need to just cool off a bit.

if you're looking for huge mechanical depth or a story, this is the wrong place.
If you want a roaming, ever-changing shooter that diverts into all sorts of weird paths? This is the right place.

This game has a super-interesting high concept to it. However, without any defined goal, it's ultimately pointless. There is no end-game. Have fun playing forever, or, more likely, stop after an hour or so and never pick it up again. This is Jason Rohrer at his Rohreriest.

I really liked this game. It was frustrating AS SHIT sometimes, but I still enjoyed it a ton. It does have a far-off goal for you to reach eventually, and it was very pretty. Would recommend.

If you enjoy the concept of games as art than this could be for you. I find it to be one of those games I can get lost in for a few 15 minute sessions here and there. There are some points where it's either over the top difficult or because of the power ups you've achieved it's too easy but those moments in between are great fun.

I love how this game makes me think creatively when I play it. Excellent example of how the latest computers and graphics are not required for a game to have a surprising amount of depth. Bravo to Rohrer for creatively expanding the medium without perpetuating the industry's ever expanding, harmful, and needless hardware and software upgrade cycles.

Interesting concept and gameplay but nothing there to make you want to continue playing after an hour.

Inside a Star-Filled Sky is a game developed by the lone indie developer Jason Rohrer. Inside a Star-Filled Sky is exactly the type of game I'd expect to see win some kind of award at the IGF - but winning an award at the IGF doesn't necessarily mean it's a good game.

Insidie a Star-Filled Sky is a novel concept and little more. The game itself is themes around the idea of recursion where you 'enter' power ups and enemies. While this is a nice idea it doesn't really impact the gameplay that much and each item you enter is effectively just the next room. I did appreciate the power up mechanics. You can collect up to 3 powerups and they can be combined in interesting ways to produce interesting effects. This fact alone, however, is not enough to merit a recommendation from me.

As a product, the game is very unpolished and feels like a prototype - for example editing the controls involves manually editing a config file. There's also no sound effects to speak of, just some ambiance music.

There are some nice ideas here but I don't feel the developer took time to flesh them out into a compelling gaming experience and instead delivered us a rough prototype.

Score: 3.5/10

Perfect example of how NOT to use procedural generation: as the content of the entire game. This is an unfinished program with no vision. Your only purpose is to pilot around from randomly generated level to randomly generated level finding better upgrades so that you can kill the enemies in the way more easily.
