The main character, Starshot, needs to discover why a planet refuses to allow his circus to perform. To resolve the problem, he searches both the hostile planet and several others. Along the way, he collects standard power-ups and uses techniques expected in any platform game. While there’s no inherent problem with games that employ standard gameplay, trouble does arise when the control is poor. Aiming Starshot’s weapon feels imprecise and sloppy, leading to great frustration. An enemy will walk directly in front of Starshot, yet he cannot turn to the correct angle to hit the enemy. As a result, the antagonist simply runs around Starshot, hitting him over and over.

Besides the unpredictable aiming system, the camera moves in a jerky manner as well. As Starshot runs around the level, the game sometimes pauses for a brief second, which can throw off the player’s timing. Also, items such as floating balloons sometimes block the view of the character as well as the path directly in front of him. Foreground objects occasionally catch the camera and cause it to move erratically as well. But for what it’s worth, the camera system overall works just as well as that found in many other 3D platformers. Which is to say, not great, but usable.

The colorful graphics and cartoon-like music work for the game, although neither impresses. The game does run into problems with break-up and pop-up from time to time but overall it appears solid. Some levels do look pretty nice, although almost all of the characters lack detail.
