Haven't properly even beat the boss, but the game itself is awesome! Very unique characters, and the use of multiple weapons simultaneously while in battle is very cool. It can get complicated, but once you get the gist of it, you just flow with your instincts. Even if that makes you confused, you'll get it all eventually. Very fun, very cutesy. Love the vibe.
Rock stars was a pretty fun experience for the most part the world was cool and the art-style is nice the combat was a bit wonky for me and the final boss was the most unfunny part of the game. She felt way too fast and things were not clear enough on when I should stage transition Or the hit-box or her attacks. The grapple needs some fine tuning as I can accidentally grapple behind me. The voice acting could use work but its not the worst in the world. The sound track was great I loved it Overall not a bad game for free or for a first game by Glass Record Studios.

Has a small few issues, but the cast was fun. Game was pretty fun overall and I give it a nice rating. It's free, try it out at the least it won't take longer than an hour or two tops.
I absolutely adore this game, I am close friends with the narrative script writer, sound designer and level designer of this project, and without bias, I can safely say that while this IS challenging, at least for me, I did greatly enjoy the game, voice acting is solid, unique story concept, and you stay engaged throughout your playthrough!
A well made game with fun music and interesting mechanics. Though short, the added challenge in the achievements makes for a genuinely enjoyable game.
cute and fun game. love the retro styling. impressive from a bunch of kids that never lived during that time. shows good research for a time that seems long forgotten.
Great game honestly. Story-line is a bit silly, in a charming way. The game play is simple but quick, making speed runs a blast with its old school like mechanics! Definitely worth the download!
RockStars! was a very fun game to complete! I had a great time with the music, the characters, and the platforming! Overall a fun time!
Gra zachwyca nietuzinkowym połączeniem platformówki z muzycznymi mechanikami. Każdy instrument, który zdobywamy, to nie tylko nowa broń, ale i narzędzie logiczne do eksploracji – świetnie zaprojektowany system, który rozwija się organicznie wraz z historią. Grafika? Surrealistyczna, kolorowa, stylizowana – wygląda jak gra inspirowana winylową okładką z lat 70. Muzyka i voice acting robią robotę – wszystko dopięte na ostatni guzik. Rytmiczny system walki daje pole do popisu, choć nie każdemu przypadnie do gustu. Trudność rośnie płynnie, ale nie frustruje. Osiągnięcia? Część wpada naturalnie, inne wymuszają dokładniejszą eksplorację – balans idealny.
Музыкальная ритм‑игра с элементами симулятора карьеры рок‑музыканта: игрок создаёт группу, оттачивает мастерство в выступлениях, записывает хиты и покоряет чарты. Акцент на сочетании игрового процесса в стиле Guitar Hero и развития музыкальной карьеры. Плюсы: Разнообразный саундтрек — представлены композиции разных эпох и поджанров рока (от классического до метала), что порадует широкую аудиторию; Развитие группы — можно кастомизировать участников, улучшать инструменты, выбирать стиль выступлений и стратегию продвижения, создавая уникальную рок‑историю; Динамичные ритм‑секции — геймплей на сцене требует точности и чувства ритма: нужно попадать в ноты на разных инструментах (гитара, бас, ударные, вокал), что делает выступления захватывающими. Минусы: Ограниченная свобода в творческом процессе — несмотря на кастомизацию, выбор музыкальных стилей и аранжировок строго регламентирован шаблонами игры; Повторяемость карьерных задач — рутина типа «записать альбом → дать тур → набрать фанатов» со временем становится монотонной без свежих механик; Высокие требования к навыкам в ритм‑режиме — на высоких сложностях темп и плотность нот резко возрастают, из‑за чего новички могут быстро потерять интерес. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам ритм‑игр и рок‑музыки — впечатляет богатым саундтреком, возможностью «построить» свою группу и энергичными концертными сценами. Может разочаровать из‑за шаблонности карьерного трека, повторяющихся задач и жёстких требований к мастерству в сложных ритм‑секциях.
