Play Get Star Online

Get Star is one of those old-school arcade games that somehow makes dodging space junk feel intense. You control this little ship that moves way too fast for its own good, weaving through asteroids and enemy fire while grabbing whatever power-ups you can. The controls are simple—just left, right, and shoot—but the screen gets so chaotic so fast that you’ll be slamming the buttons like it’s 1986 again.

What I love about it is how unforgiving it is. No regenerating shields, no checkpoints—just pure reflexes and a lot of "how did that even hit me?!" moments. The music’s got that classic arcade beep-boosted energy, and the pixel art somehow makes explosions look satisfying even now. If you’re into retro games that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a solid time capsule.
