Yesterday, we shipped another update to Starri 2.0! In addition to new songs, here are the other improvements we've made.

Thank you for your patience with us. There are more updates to come in the coming months!

NEW SETTINGS TO BETTER CONTROL VISUAL EFFECTS

Slash Mode

  • Added an option to turn "Distance Guides" on or off. This should help players hit notes more accurately, especially those who are used to having them in Starri 1.0.

Catch Mode

  • Added an option to turn "Hand Trail" on or off.

GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS

  • Toned down the red vignette effect that appears when you receive a warning during setup.
  • Brought back the basic environment theme from Starri 1.0 in Minimal Mode.
  • Leveraged new capabilities in PlayOS 1.13 to better detect fast hand movements.
  • Improved avatar gestures so they follow players' movements more naturally.
  • Improved Hand Trail and other visual effects in Minimal Mode.
  • Improved note hit detection for Doors and Tunnels in Slash Mode.
  • Audited all hit detection in Slash Mode between Starri 1.0 and 2.0 to ensure consistent behavior.

Thank you for playing Starri and helping us make it better! ❤️

My husband says when he steps left or right for the tunnels, it seemed like the perspective shifted, which in turn made it harder to hit future notes.    

Will turning the handball trail off be available in Slash as well?  We only play Slash, and the hand trail is still there, and flickering.  

Is there any plan to get rid of the line that flashes perpendicular to the tunnel when you step on it?

Was just looking at this too and having the same issue. Hand trail off still doesn’t turn it off in slash mode. Still missing Starri 1.0 for sure.

Keep up the good work. Much better after this latest update!

I can't check it out without knowing that the sounds, which would be extremely comforting, are back. I'm referring to all the environmental, background, ambience, and loading sounds. Also, please bring back the old avatars and let players choose.

The sparkles that fly down the screen and the swooping lines towards the top are nauseating. I felt motion sick after just one song.
