Starfend

I rebuilt the first hour. Then I rebuilt everything around it. A few weeks ago someone recorded 23 minutes of themselves playing Starfend for the first time. Near the end they said something I couldn't unhear: "The tutorial is vague. I didn't retain any of the information. I mostly just stumbled my way through." They were right. People who understand Starfend play it for hours. People who don't, quit in thirteen minutes. That's not a content problem — that's a me problem, and it's the one I spent the last month fixing. So I rebuilt the moment you first touch the game. And once I was in there, I kept going. What feels different The first run teaches you now. No more menu wall before you've seen the game. Your first launch drops you straight into a match with a drone already yours, and the game shows you — in the match, with your hands on it — how to move, place, shoot, dash, shield and call a wave. The build screen opens after you've had a taste. Everything you touch has weight. New audio from the ground up, meteors that die with a real explosion, hit flashes, screen shake, gold that pops off the kill, a dash that parries, and a colo

Your runs just got a plan. Two of Starfend's core systems grew up this update. Stones now have somewhere to go — ten rarity ranks, from humble Stardust all the way to Cosmic — and skills stopped being a lucky drop and became something you draft, run after run. 💎 Stones: rank up & fuse 10 stone ranks — every stone now rolls a rank, from Stardust (grey) to Cosmic (cyan). Higher rank, stronger buff, prettier frame. Stone fusion — fuse 5 stones of the same rank into 1 stone of the next rank, right from the preparation screen. Those piles of early stones finally have a purpose. Deeper runs, rarer stones — the further you push, the better the drops. Sell prices scale with rank too. New in-game stone art across the board. ⚡ Skills: draft your build You start every run with a skill — the one matching your drone body's color. From wave 1, you have a button to press. Pick a new skill every 5 waves — after the wave buff on waves 5, 10, 15… you choose a skill drawn from the colors of the meteors you're actually fighting. Skills fuse — pick the right colors and they combine into stronger tiers, with a proper little cinematic: charge-up, clash, shockwave. It's very satisf

Hey everyone, We've put real work into making Starfend a great experience on Steam Deck: 🎮 Full controller support — every menu and action is playable with the Deck's controls, no manual setup required. On-screen button prompts match the Deck. 🖥️ UI adapted to the Deck's 1280×800 screen, with interface text tuned to stay readable in handheld. ☁️ Steam Cloud saves — continue your game across PC and Deck. We've reached out to Valve to have Starfend officially reviewed for the Steam Deck Verified rating. Until that review is complete, the store may still show the Deck status as "Unknown" — but the support is already built into the game. We'll update this post as soon as we have the official rating. Thanks for playing! — RP Entertainment
