About
Star Stuff is deceptively cute programming puzzle game for curious minds of all kinds. Join Mija, a brand-new star engineer, as they take on over 150 mind-bending factory puzzles.

Looks cute, right? Making stars isn’t as easy as you might think, but you aren’t alone! Your work in the factory is supported by a variety of bots with many different capabilities. Some bots are able to lift heavy objects, and some can solve complex problems with lasers - which is a pretty enviable skill. Just make sure you keep your goggles on.

Once you’ve programmed your bots, join in on the manual labor fun! Unlike most automation and programming games, you have to work in sync with your bots from time to time. It’s a team effort here at the Star Stuff factory in order to get those stars made. If at first you don’t succeed, brush off that stardust and try, try again.

The star factory is extremely forgiving and you won’t even get fired. You can always reset, undo, and try puzzles over and over again. You can take breaks in this whimsical atmosphere with a stellar soundtrack. And remember, it’s only been 32,767 rotations since the last major incident. You can help maintain that record!
Exercise your brain. Automating bots is tricky, despite their whimsical appearances. Every problem is a chance to learn something new.
Over 150 celestial levels to tease your brain with even when you’re on your mandated lunch break.
You are part of the puzzles! Your bots can’t do this on their own - you have to pitch in sometimes to help the machines solve the obstacles they face in the star-making process.
Simple but deep mechanics make this title accessible and family-friendly. Try playing along with a friend or family member nearby!
Unleash your creativity as you delve into coding logic to craft your own bot programs. And don’t worry! Programming is just puzzle solving at the end of the day.
There’s a whole cosmic universe out there waiting to be built if you’re up for the challenge. Shine on!

Los puzzles no son particularmente difíciles, pero son interesantes. Y la progresión de dificultad está muy bien.
정말 재밌게 한 퍼즐게임. 한국어를 지원하지 않는 건 아쉽지만 퍼즐 푸는데에 언어는 딱히 상관없었음. 그래픽도 귀엽고 화사해서 좋았음. 미친듯이 어려워서 못풀정도 아니고 머리 조금만 굴리면 풀 수 있는 정도라 성취감을 느낄 수 있는 적당한 난이도임. 이제까지 한 퍼즐게임 중 가장 재밌게 하고 만족했음. 맵을 더 만들어주면 좋을듯.
The casual destruction I rain on these bots is crazy. Those bots *really* need a union. Fun and clever (but simple) programming puzzle game.
I received a free key for the game. This is a super cute and approachable puzzle game! I love the mixture of programming/automation with real time movement of your own character. It makes it so the programming puzzles don’t get too difficult and it also makes for some fun puzzles where you have to think about the programming and what you can do while the robots move. The whole game is very polished with cute animations and music too. There’s a hint system that gives you the order of the code and that can be very helpful without giving you the answer (although I had to look up an answer once or twice).
可爱、有趣、好玩、不难。
プログラミング系パズルの「Human Resource Machine」「7 Billion Humans」の可愛い版という印象でした。 ただ、このゲームは位置の指定が絶対位置だったり、ヒント機能もあったりと優しめです。おかげで詰まりすぎることもなく、エンディングまで楽しめました。 最初1時間程度は単純なコマンドを使う問題ばかりで退屈するかもしれません。
Fun puzzle game that utilizes programming mechanics. Now I am biased because I'm a programmer so this game really speaks to me. However, I think this game does a great job of simplifying programming so many people can enjoy it. The game can be broken down into controlling your character and programming robots with simplified lines of code. You'll write short lines of code to control robots in each puzzle. At the same time the robots do things, you'll be able to walk around, pick up items, and influence the puzzle with your character. This results in cool puzzles that aren't just programming or controlling your character. The game also does a great job of slowly introducing new mechanics. Every time you enter a new area, you must complete a simple tutorial puzzle that shows you how to use a new programming idea. This can be simple ideas like having a robot wait until your character does something or having the robot loop through multiple lines of code over and over. Each area will use this mechanic and ramp up in difficulty as it combines older mechanics with the new mechanic. There is also a good hint system in case you get stuck. It wont give a full solution, but it will give you half of the solution. When you ask for a hint, it'll give you all the lines of code but only 'half' of the line and it'll be up to you to fill in the missing part of each line of code. This lets you experiment with different solutions while knowing your definitely on the right path
NB: This isn't really a game about programming at all; it just uses programming as a theme to establish a unique set of logic puzzles. It has really well-designed puzzles that provide a lot of satisfying "eureka" moments. None of the solutions feel hacky or cheesy. The setting, music and visuals are very cute too.
Jeu simple et intuitif, seul point faible: il est court. Il y aurait la possibilité d'avoir un peu plus de niveaux si il y aurait des niveaux avec des mix de plusieurs éléments existant au jeu.
Pretty good
