What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 180 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (787 of 973 positive).
Players find the game a fun, meme-filled shoot 'em up with tight controls. [1][2][3] Some reviewers note the game is short but replayable due to random generation. [4][5] Several players report broken achievements and abandoned support. [6][7][8]

This game is like a trip down the memory lane. If I played the game back in the day I would've given it a positive review but sadly it aged like milk. Ignoring the cringe dialogues, none of the achievements work and neither do most of the features and game modes. It's a shame because the gameplay is quite fun.

Awesome little such memes shoot em up. It's simple but amusing. The controls and mechanics feel nice and tight. The boss fights are funny and the game is packed with little jokes here and there. Great little game for a cheap price. Did I mention your weapon is a lazer kitty?!

A fun little bullet-hell game about a guy on a hoverboard, a cat that can shoot lazers, and a whole bunch of internet memes. This game is short, only 5 levels, which can be beat in under half an hour. But the really nice thing is that it's infinitely replayable because unlike traditional bullet-hell games there's no patterns to memorize, everything is randomly generated every time. Making for different gaming …

Shooting Stars! is a pretty cool shoot’em up with a crazy meme, satirical approach. The shooting mechanics do not have to hide behind the memes presentation. I will definitely play it some more.

I'm thinking of, say, Mark Mylod, directing Shooting Stars and Game of Thrones, or Ben Bolt directing Hill Street Blues and Bergerac (in the same year). Any others?

neutral · AI labelView post →Shooting Stars is a somewhat amusing meme shoot 'em up that was better once upon a time. This is an "arena" shooter, no scrolling, with enemies arriving from the top. Think Space Invaders. Each level has a boss which is a parody of a "celebrity" or star (shooting "stars", get it?), several of which seem to be YouTube personalities. Gameplay is simple and fun. Gamepad support is broken, but it controls well with mouse. You have to hold the button to move and shoot; cannot move without shooting.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like vertical shootem ups... not bad for under a buck and has trading cards so that gets you what? A dime on the steam market? Not bad at all. Not that great either though but if you got steam wallet change to burn through... this will do the trick.

neutral · AI labelView post →Decent memegame, if you enjoy shoot-em-ups. This is a first impression review. I let a friend play this because I'm unable to play this due to a handicap. Judging by the box-cover, I thought this was a very bad game. It's actually not bad, although the pun names of the bosses made me smirk (eg Nuck Chorris) the first times I saw them. In the end I just don't like this kind of games. But if you like to shoot up, and memes, this isn't bad at all. More reviews at…

neutral · AI labelView post →If you're looking for a short and sweet game to have fun playing and 100%, don't bother. Developers have given up on supporting this game. Achievements, nor their "dailies" work anymore, and from what I've seen on the discussion board, they've always had issues.

positive · AI labelView post →Parody shooter with a bit of weirdness and grain of salt. Instead of being very salty this game aims to be somewhat annoying and frustrating instead especially when getting to the last boss. Shoot celebrities and other nuisances. Grab superfood to power up your gun. Different special attacks but only one can be obtained at a time. Overall not my type.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game, but very disappointing that the devs decided to disable achievements and high scores (even local). Not a bad little time waster though. DEFINITELY do not buy for the full 4.99$, that's ridiculous. Honestly wouldn't recommend without even being able to see your own past high scores.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It looks like this game is dead. Options like "Daily Run", "Highscores" or even "Achievements" are just not supported now. Yes, there are images of achievements on the Steam page, but you will never get any of them - the other users noted that first, and I can confirm it. On the other hand, even when it was "alive", the game itself clearly was not a masterpiece. All in all, "Shooting Stars!" is a simplistic shoot 'em up without claim for "Game of the Year" status; there is nothing genius in…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bull$h!t meme game that looks and sounds okay, but the achievements and daily runs are broken and there's nobody there to fix it. RNG hates you. If the devs don't care about the game neither should you. If you insist definitely don't pay full price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a retro pixel ripoff of Galaga but you control a guy with a cat instead of a spaceship, and fight waves of various "nerds" or something as they walk down and shoot bullets and rockets at you. It doesn't make much sense, but the crux is that this is a joke game and not to be taken seriously. The game only makes use of a tiny 9:16 aspect ratio area of the screen, which doesn't really cut it for PC. The developers are charging $7.50 for a joke game with very lazy retro pixel graphics,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a major deal-breaker: It does not store or record your high score. Therefore, there is absolutely no point in playing this game whatsoever.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I decided to play this again because the achievements were working, but now they don't work again; furthermore, the game won't record my high score, neither locally nor globally. The daily challenge isn't available, either. I would leave a positive review if it weren't for these glaring problems.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't get the point of the game. It's a bit fun to discover the effects of all the items, but that's about it. Very little variation outside of that. I guess if you're into pop culture you'll get some giggles out of this.

This is simultaneously a joke and a serious commitment for June 19 if you call my bluff. (The Stars are 6-1 so far this season, I can already taste the bandwagon.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Was a good game nearly 10 years ago. Now it's outdated and most features are disabled. Achievements don't work. Honestly this game should be taken from the store.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The memes are pretty cringe at this point and the achievements do not work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is quite amusing. Its a retro style shootem up arcade game but with bit people instead of ships. The game is smooth to play an look at. There are achievements for this game. You level up after each wave with a boss in between each. Game could be better in certain aspects. There could be more unlockables and better physics. Overall pretty great though; Enjoyed most of my time playing. Rating: 7/10

With a creative twist on arcade shooters, Shooting Stars comes blasting its way into the room. This title takes a term intended for addressing fame and then turns it upside down to make it literal.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has good basics and interesting bosses but it has a lot of bugs, only two options seem working good - the cards menu and the gameplay but they are broken as hell and after collecting about 15 power-ups the mechanic just breaks and you can't collect any more in theory but the ones on the ground can be collected infinitely so in my case I collected so many lamas to help that the game was running in about 5-10 fps. Achievements ain't working so you got to get them using a non-legit way.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A neat and fun little parody arcade bullet hell, completely ruined by the fact that the devs have entirely abandoned the game. None of the features outside of the base game work, achievements are practically disabled now... What could be an amazing little experience that one could just easily go into no matter the time is reduced to an incomplete mess. At the state it's in now, it would be a waste of money if one were paid to play it.

Very nice, slick controls and an excellent presentation. Visuals are very colourful and some special attacks even provide nice eye candy. The gameplay is pretty simple. You move forward, shooting down minions and then take down a boss. After 5 or so bosses, you face Chuck Norris. After that you go on fighting a new sequence of bosses but at a higher…
