Stargirl and the Thief from the Exploded Moon

I could type the title of this game all day. (Which is fortunate, because it takes all day to type.) Stargirl and the Thief from the Exploded Moon (gasp!) is a new platformer from Bernie that, according to Bernie himself, is “not much different than the other games [he’s] made.” Which is to say a well put-together retro experience with it’s own special something sprinkled on top.

Stargirl was made in only two weeks, so it’s rather short and there are still a few kinks to be ironed out, but it’s a lot of fun. It’s got a definite SMB2 vibe. Oh, and before you ask, this game is in addition to the other two projects he’s got going… way to go, Bernie!

Mad e-props to Bernie for knowing how to finish games like a true playa. Word.

Those are some harsh signs! The game’s pretty cool, but the player character is not fun to look at.

I think platformers a cool guy, eh jumps and doesn’t afraid of anything.

You said it, Julius.

I’ve gotta say, the first boss fight has the world’s best typo.

If that is a typo.

I hope to God it is.

Bernie, you are my hero :3

Don’t ever stop making cartoony retro platformers. OR ELSE

Cute little platformer, reminds me of Mickey Mouse : Castle of Illusion. Keep the good work!

I get a glitch when I play – My character runs left by default, meaning the right arrow makes her stay still, unplayable.

Hmm… do you have a gamepad plugged in? If so, you could try unplugging it. The game must be receiving a LEFT key or button press from somewhere.

Thanks for playing! :)

Quality work as always Bernie.

My one gripe with the game is the coins. Having to get them all in one go through the level is difficult, especially when you hit a checkpoint and cannot backtrack.
