This latest update focuses on expanding the player’s offensive capabilities and significantly improving the overall atmosphere through a complete audio rework.

New Dash Attack Mechanic The dash is no longer just a movement tool for dodging. I have implemented a new mechanic where the player now kicks monsters and aliens upon contact during a dash. This adds a layer of aggressive mobility to the gameplay, allowing you to clear paths and deal damage while repositioning.

High-Quality Audio Remaster I have completely updated the game’s music and sound effects. The new tracks have been produced with higher fidelity to ensure a more immersive and professional experience. This audio overhaul better reflects the intensity of the combat and the fast-paced nature of the game.

Technical Refinements Optimized dash hitboxes to ensure consistent contact with enemies.

Balanced audio levels to ensure music and sound effects complement each other without distortion.

General performance improvements to handle the new collision logic during high-speed movement.

Thank you for following the development of Starfish ROOM.

Hey everyone! SketBR here. I'm back with another update for Starfish ROOM, focusing on accessibility and smoother mechanics.

Here is what’s new in this version:

1. Gamepad Support (Xbox Input) 🎮 You asked for it! The game now fully supports controllers with the Xbox input layout. Playing a roguelite with a gamepad gives it a completely different, more comfortable feel. Plug in and play!

2. Visual Feedback: Card Selection 🃏 To help switch your focus from combat to strategy, the character now turns Blue the moment the Roguelite Cards appear on screen. This provides clear visual feedback that the action has paused and it's time to choose your upgrade.

3. Improved Throw Bomb System 💣 I have refined the Throw Bomb mechanic. It is now much more responsive and precise, making it easier to land those explosions exactly where you need them.

Give it a try and let me know how the controller support feels!

Thanks for playing!

Hey everyone.

Just dropped my new game: Starfish ROOM.

It is an action roguelite with pixel art and a specific Japanese vibe. You control Kibo Wave, a catboy chosen to defend the ROOM from hordes of monsters and aliens.

The loop is intense:

Defend the Room: Enter, kill everything with your sword and dynamite.

Power Up: Pick cards between waves to upgrade your stats.

Face the Aliens: Boss battles.

Repeat: It is an endless cycle of defense and combat.

For those who do not know me, I am SketBR. Been making games online since 2016 (started when I was 11). I did the pixel art and some of the music for this too. This is a very personal project.

I need your support. Play it, drop a 5-star rating, and leave some real feedback. It helps me keep making stuff for the community.

Update: New Look & Speed

Yo. SketBR here.

Been grinding non-stop on Starfish ROOM and I have got some changes to share. I want this game to feel right, so I tweaked a few things.

New Look

Changed the player outline to WHITE. It pops way more against the background now. Super crisp.

The Feel

Cranked things up. The game is officially faster now. The flow is way more addictive. Good luck putting it down once you start.

Japan Support Added

Big news for people in Japan or anyone reading Kana: The game is now translated into Hiragana and Katakana.

Look, I will be real—I do not know complex Japanese yet (still learning), but I wanted to make sure people who do not understand English can still play and have fun.

Check out the update and let me know if you can handle the new speed.

I had some experience with game development since 2017. As a GDevelop 5 user, I started watching some videos on the official GDevelop channel in my free time. I came across two videos, one about "Wave Defense" (which isn’t even a real genre) and another about a roguelike game project.

The thumbnails were so similar that I thought they were the same project. When I posted about Sheris Dungeon on my X profile: @sketBR, I realized my game had nothing to do with a roguelike. After sending a gameplay video of Sheris Dungeon to my younger cousin living in the same country, she said it was a tower defense game. I was stubborn and thought it was a roguelike.

Currently, on X, my game usually gets 200 or more views per post. The secret is to keep going and be creative.

The game is hosted on Newgrounds with medals and a leaderboard for those who score high points. So, have fun with my game full of dopamine and action!
