STAR JAR
STAR JAR is fuzzy chaos romancing the night sky.
Weird stuff happens while we sleep. Maybe this is some of it.
- Three minutes of shooting-star bullet hell. Catch as many as you can and survive until dawn. Fill lots of jars and nab colored stars for bonus points, but don't get smashed.
- Higher scores = better endings. Four possible variations.
- Three difficulty levels = three different kinds of wrist injury.
- Hand-drawn low-res low-color pixel art. Maximum potential for misinterpretation.
- Plays best loud in a dark room.
This is version 1.0.4, finally browser-friendly, with reworked collision code and a few other small tweaks.
Features strobe effects that might be visually disturbing. They can be turned off in the options menu.
Requires a mouse and keyboard to play.
thanks!

This is a really cool and unique game. I think you were inspired by the aesthetics of pico but didn't want to use the console itself. It worked out great imo. I have chosen the getting smashed route so far, but will come back again for survival ending
I managed! It was a really soothing experience
awesome! thanks so much for playing and sticking it out!
