Starling Ascent: Bring the light back.

A whole civilisation went dark, power scattered into the caves far below. One small fail-safe robot was built to survive exactly this, and now he has one job: find the lost cores, carry them home, and climb back to a surface he has never seen.

Fly with super simple controls, nothing but rotate and thrust... use your momentum, angles and gravity pulling the whole time. It takes a few seconds to understand and hours to master.

Return Cores & Ascend

Every level, a lost core is waiting somewhere in the cave. Find it, pick it up, then carry it to the docks and set it down clean. Do that and the way up opens. Be careful, Starling has limited health and fuel. you can find extra fuel in most of the longer levels and see if you can perfect every level with no damage against the clock!

Five worlds and one final ascent.

You climbs through five different layers, each with its own look, its own feel, and its own ways to kill you. Every world adds a new hazard to everything you've already learned and one careless touch of lava, spikes, or a laser is instant death. They glow bright, so you always see them coming. The only question is whether you can fly clean enough to get past. Then put all your skills to test in the final Ascent through the opening.

FS-266 (Starling) isn't alone on this mission.

Volare is his weary AI companion riding shotgun for the climb: part guide, part narrator, part sarcastic friend. Starling was made for one job. Volare knows exactly what that means. By the time you reach the surface, so will you.

Bring the light back.
