The story of the game is characterized by a mix of exploration across eight planets and interactions with various characters, which can yield clues for both main and side quests. However, the narrative is often criticized for being inconsistent and poorly executed, with some players feeling misled by the game's marketing that promised a point-and-click adventure but delivered a clunky side-scrolling action experience instead. Overall, while there are moments of fun and engaging dialogue, many reviewers highlight significant design flaws and a lack of polish that detracts from the storytelling experience.
- “The player is completely free to explore the world of Starflint and its 8 various planets in the order they please. You'll be able to engage in discussions with the characters you meet, allowing you to collect valuable clues and progress in both the main quest and side quests.”
- “But it's actually a pretty fun platformer with an adventure-like story.”
- “I haven't really gotten to play, since upon launching the game, I got a beautiful comic-book story cinematic (as expected of developers) and a recommendation to play with a gamepad.”
- “I was planning on giving the game a thumbs up despite some frustrating and boring sections like the awful laser maze and two escort missions with platforms you need to set up after each death, lack of polish, and some eye-rolling dialogues that allude to sex and make cringe modern references that have no place in this setting.”
- “The game is mostly a somewhat clunky puzzle platformer with a story that sometimes doesn’t make sense.”

The gameplay in Starflint combines multiple genres, featuring approximately 50% platforming, 30% point-and-click adventure, and 20% puzzle and arcade minigames. Players experience a mix of traditional mechanics like jumping and object manipulation, alongside stealth elements, while the platforming difficulty is generally average with some challenging sections. The game effectively introduces mechanics in a controlled manner, though some critics feel it lacks originality, resembling a collection of various gameplay elements.
- “Modern game design for adventure/platformers typically introduces a game mechanic in a 'controlled' setting first so players are on board before throwing them into deadly sections.”
- “This includes all of the traditional gameplay aspects, such as jumping, pushing objects around to solve puzzles, sneaking past guards, shooting, and some adventure components that push you to hunt for items and use them appropriately.”
- “Starflint has multiple gameplay genres with about 50% platforming, 30% point-and-click type adventuring, and 20% other puzzle and arcade type minigames.”
- “It is almost as if they went into the Unity Asset Store and bought every package that was on sale and proceeded to smash all of them together under the guise of 'more gameplay'.”
- “Additionally, it does away with all action-related mechanics in favor of a pure adventure game.”
- “The platforming gameplay difficulty is average with a few more difficult parts that take longer to complete.”

- “The game's character art is great and the platforming background graphics are pretty good too.”
- “The first demo was amazing with the point and click and great drawn graphics.”
- “Artwork was beautiful in my opinion.”
- “The comic book-style intro graphics actually made me hold out hope for a few lonely moments that Starflint would surprise me, and I hoped I could get past the horrible translation.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while some references fall flat, the main characters and their quirky voice acting add a charming touch. Overall, the fun character dynamics and engaging setting suggest potential for future installments.
- “Main characters were fun and funny; honestly, some of the voice acting was pretty hokey, but that just added to the charm for me.”
- “The characters and setting are fun and funny enough to deserve a sequel, and the developer is active and polite.”
- “The humor in the game really adds to the overall experience, making it enjoyable and memorable.”

The game's stability has been criticized for being buggy at launch, with issues such as unresponsive controls and gameplay mechanics. However, frequent patches are being released, which may improve stability over time. Overall, while the current state is problematic, there is hope for future enhancements.
- “I'm not sure what in the world is going on here. This was pitched to backers as a point-and-click adventure game; it sounded absolutely phenomenal, and here we are now with a pile of buggy junk.”
- “Still a complete waste of time. Controls are bad, and most of the time, they are buggy (moving crates stops working randomly or not at all).”
- “As I write this, the game is still buggy, but new patches are coming out frequently, so perhaps it will be mostly bug-free in the future.”
