I got this game when I was a kid. I still feel the disappointment to this day.

What the hell did I play? This probably did some brain damage to me as a kid.

Laggy mess, horrid platformer; do not play.

plataformer 3d muito bom, o fps cai bastante em várias situações e a câmera é bem pior doq poderia ser, apesar do controle dela ser bem bom.
achei relativamente pequeno mas as áreas são até que grandes e são boas de explorar, mas tem umas que a dificuldade sobe demais se comparado ao resto do jogo

I lost my patience with this one.
Technically it looks nice for an n64 game and camera controls were actually really good. You can zoom out and in as much as you like. And if you zoom all the way out it's pretty impressive to see the scope of how much the n64 can run, ALTHOUGH the game lags hard, which is a problem for a platformer that relies on heavy precision.
I do like Starshot's quirky world and vibe, but the gameplay just wasn't up there.

Starshot controls like piss and does his triple jump by holding the jump button not by consecutive presses which makes timing jumps very akward alongside his full trottle acceleration and bad traction.

Then there's the level design which made zero sense to me and I pretty much got tired of running back and forth trying to figure out what to do. You have no iframes so enemies hit until you either manage to jump away or get pushed down a pitfall.

I have some fond memories of this game when it came out back in the 90's, but sadly some memories are better off preserved.
