The game features a friendly developer who actively listens to player feedback and implements helpful changes, such as allowing players to buy back sold weapons.
The visual design is impressive, with great effects like smoke when health is low, and the music and sound effects enhance the overall experience.
Gameplay is engaging with fun puzzles, a smooth leveling system, and the option to customize various game elements, making each run feel fresh and exciting.

The game lacks depth, with limited variety in levels and no clear goals, which may lead to repetitive gameplay over time.
Graphics are relatively simple and may not meet the expectations set by other games in the genre, potentially detracting from the overall experience.
Some gameplay mechanics, like the store inventory management, feel fiddly and could benefit from more streamlined options for selling or managing items.

The music in the game is generally well-received, with some players praising its quality and ability to enhance the gaming experience, particularly in intense moments. However, others note that the limited looping tracks can lead to a desire to mute the music in favor of other audio, such as podcasts. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the atmosphere, its repetitiveness may detract from long-term enjoyment.
- “A twin-stick top-down looter-shooter with increasing difficulty and some riveting music.”
- “Steinstern is a smooth and stylish shmup with awesome music, clever sound-based puzzles, and intense space-maze action.”
- “Got it on discount, music is cool, upgrades and map design is all good.”
- “The music is fine - it's like a radio and just loops through a few songs.”
- “This is not to be understated - this is important as I could see myself muting the music (since I've heard it all already), lowering the audio, and just chilling with this game with a podcast on.”

The graphics are described as simplistic and static, resembling work that could be produced by a college student. There is a noticeable lack of variety and interactivity, with effects like explosions appearing without influencing nearby elements, which detracts from the overall visual experience.
- “The graphics feel fairly simple - for example, I could see a college student getting somewhat close to this.”
- “That might be a side effect of the lack of variety, but if you compare this to games like Really Big Sky, you can see how the graphics here are fairly static - like an explosion is just a graphic that appears; it doesn't have an effect on nearby entities.”

humor

The humor in the game is highlighted by the potential for delightfully funny moments, especially when players can achieve one-shot kills on larger enemies. While the weapon variety is currently limited, it still offers enough diversity to create unusual and amusing gameplay experiences.
- “I don't know how high it goes, but it would be delightfully funny and satisfying if you can take it far enough to one-shot even the biggest enemies.”
- “There's currently relatively few weapon types, but it's diverse enough to come up with something unusual or funny.”
optimization
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players have noted that the game's optimization may falter at higher map levels, particularly level 12 and above, where performance issues arise, such as clipping problems with in-game elements.
- “Mazes don't seem to have a limit, which may become a performance problem when playing on map levels 12 or higher. The circles on the doors even start clipping through the mechanism itself!”
