Today's Star Is Delivers Daily Labyrinth Pain for Browser and Desktop Players
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Today's Star Is is a free, brutally difficult daily browser and desktop game from the creators of Love Eternal where players must navigate spike-filled labyrinths while towing a physics-based star.
If your daily routine needs a fresh dose of punishing frustration, the developers behind precision platformer Love Eternal have dropped a new free browser and desktop game called Today's Star Is. Built around twitchy Lunar Lander style physics, the game casts you as a tiny, unarmed spaceship navigating spike filled labyrinths. Your mission is simple to understand but agonizing to execute, requiring you to use a short range tractor beam to hook a stubborn star and drag it back to safety while avoiding environmental hazards.
Complicating matters is a relentless enemy entity that aggressively hunts you down the moment you drift too close to its patrol zone, ignoring solid walls to end your run on contact. The star itself operates on full physics, meaning it swings and bounces like a wrecking ball, frequently snagging on corners or smashing into the very walls you are trying to avoid. Fortunately, the game offers infinite lives and frequent checkpoints so you can bash your head against the leaderboards repeatedly without losing all your progress.
Beyond the cruel design, the game leans into immersive sound design with echoing thruster hisses, metallic hull dinks, and genuinely unsettling alert noises when the resident monster wakes up. True to its name, a brand new level drops every single day, giving leaderboard chasers and masochistic puzzle fans a fresh daily ritual to conquer across PC and web browsers.
