A vertical arcade shoot'em up with an inventive teleport system, lots of fast-blazing action and explosions, tons of boss fights, a risk/reward based score system and a proper challenge for both veteran and new players of the genre.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

A very addictive indie Shmup that sounds like you're playing a slot machine.

Everything that you'd want from a classic style shmup is here and then some. The only thing I found not good was the sound design. The music doesn't pop and the sound effects seem mixed a little weird. Sometimes when there's a lot of explosions at once the volume seems to stack. I'm usually a stickler for great shmup music but since it's more of an opinion I wouldn't give this game bad marks over it. There's separate sound and volume controls so it's a nonissue. More of a note to the developer
Nota 6 de 10 O que posso dizer a respeito desse título é que para que curte esse tipo de jogabilidade é um bom passatempo.
Not my usual genre, but I found this game easy to pick up and play. I really liked the graphics, both in-game and in the cutscenes. Lots of ships to choose from and a bunch of customizations possible. It picks up ideas from lots of similar games. Dev has done their research. I thought the reward loot slowly getting reduced and then disappearing was a great idea, as it pushes the player into a risk/reward behavior. It'd be great to able to quit the game in Arcade mode with current progress being saved. This way you can start a run and safely continue if you can't play for an extended period of time, which was my case the first time I played it. I'd definitely make it a high prio task for a future update.
Fun Shmup with great spritework and gameplay!
i like it! it's hard! but it's FREE!! the amount of money i would've lost as a kid in the arcades in the 80's if this was there. as i said, it's hard, but there are lots of training modes to hone your skills. this makes it fair.
Sophstar is hell. Really, really, fun... hell.. + The gameplay is extremely fun, enemies have massive variety, levels are handcrafted, and learning how to dodge and handle each level, while painful, was really enjoyable. + The art of this game is so well done, it is some of the best pixel art ive seen from a retro style game. + this is exactly what I would expect from a bullet hell, its a bit grindy but if it weren't fun i wouldn't have played it. - 1-3 is extremely easy, and then 5-8 is extremely hard, this can make it repetitive when I have to do the first 3 levels over and over again. + The plot is not bad. The commander is a bit odd, but its not a bad plot. - all ships in the game are either not Arobe-D, or Arobe-D. because there needed to be a high damage, good teleport, secondary invincibility, high AoE ship to make sure all the other ones felt like trash. = To beat the game, the player must reach the TRUE final boss on intermediate without the use of tokens (tokens can be used during the final boss), this is what makes it so challenging, and why only 2% of players have actually beaten this game. Again, it is really fun and rewarding, but it is CHALLENGING.
Sophstar é um jogo muito bom em vários aspectos. O jogo é focado em um nicho muito específico em um nicho. Ou seja, nicho² porém, como não dá pra agradar todo mundo mesmo, aqueles apaixonados em jogos do gênero bullet hell, que amam uma gameplay desafiadora. Podem confiar em mim, que este jogo é feito pra vocês. O nome do jogo não é SOFT star. Lembram que mencionei ser nicho²? é justamente porque o jogo tem foco em jogadores acostumados com o estilo de jogo, o que faz ser um desafio até mesmo para os melhores. Eai? Acha que consegue colocar seu nome no Ranking? Você é bom? PROVE! Aos demais jogadores, tem várias mecânicas legais e desafios que te ajudam a aprender mais sobre o jogo e se aprimorar para alcançar níveis maiores de gameplay. O que? não se sente tão bom? A prática leva a perfeição. Garanto que o jogo te dará muitas horas de diversão. O jogo atenta aos detalhes, com animação e execução impecáveis. Não é atoa que já possui prêmios e avaliações positivas de peso no mercado. RECOMENDO.
