Our take on Deneb: Across the Stars
The likely sticking point is the no-checkpoint structure: a minor error can lead to an endless fall, so players who expect frequent recovery points may hit a wall when navigating the hazards.
What is Deneb: Across the Stars?
Deneb: Across the Stars is a top-down platformer controlled entirely with a mouse.
Players guide astronaut Vega through obstacles as she searches for her lost colleague, Altair, and tries to save the dogs. The obstacles are built around the risk of falling: a small mistake can send Vega into an endless drop. There are no checkpoints, so progress through the platforming sections depends on navigating each hazard carefully. The game includes real-time auto-save, pixel art, and a soundtrack composed by 50mang. Its controls are simple, but the lack of checkpoints makes mistakes costly during play.
