0 PLAYS Action

One button. Walk, jump, smash. The stars are still too far.

Controls:
Z / X / C (any one of these keys):
- Hold: Walk along the surface
- Release: Jump toward the next shape
- Press in mid-air: Ground pound and flip your direction

M: Mute

Reach the glowing star to clear each stage.
Gravity pulls toward the centre of the shape you are standing on, so walking around a shape turns you upside down along the way.
The moment you land on a new shape, gravity switches to that shape.

Where you release the key decides where you fly, so walk a little further around the surface before letting go.
Use the mid-air ground pound to drop faster and to reverse the direction you are walking in.
Later stages add obstacles and gaps that need two or three shapes in a row to cross.

Tip: Don't release the key the moment you see the star. Line up the surface first, then let go — and use the ground pound to fix a jump that is going wide!

Leap across shifting gravitational fields in StarCatcher, a brilliantly minimalist space platformer created for One Button Jam 2022!

Master the ultimate single-button challenge: hold to walk along geometric surfaces where gravity shifts toward the center, release to jump, and press mid-air to trigger a gravity-flipping ground pound.

Navigate increasingly complex, mind-bending cosmic stages, outsmart treacherous obstacles, and safely reach the glowing star to clear each level. Simple to learn, deeply clever, and endlessly addictive!

Inspired by classic sci-fi adventures like Out There Somewhere, Kirby, and Metroid. By Escada Games.
