Starfall Descent Has Officially Launched!

Starfall Descent
A browser game made in HTML5

Hey everyone!

Today we’re excited to release our newest mini–arcade game Starfall Descent. A reverse endless runner where you’re not sprinting forward… you’re falling into a neon cosmic abyss.

This game flips the endless runner genre on its head. Instead of racing ahead, you’re dropping down an infinite shaft filled with drifting asteroids, tight gaps, collapsing debris, and unpredictable hazards. The deeper you go, the faster everything gets. Reflexes become instinct. Instinct becomes panic. Panic becomes score-chasing greatness.

What’s inside the launch version

✔ Endless falling gameplay
✔ Reactive neon visuals and cosmic tunnel effects
✔ Smooth one-tap controls
✔ Dynamic asteroid patterns
✔ Speed that ramps up until your nerves give out
✔ Powerups to help you survive longer (Slow Time, Shield, Magnet)
✔ High Score leaderboard system
✔ Desktop + mobile compatibility

Why we built it

Starfall Descent was created to experiment with a “reverse runner” concept—same simple mechanics, but a totally different psychological feel. The constant downward motion creates a unique sense of momentum and tension that we’ve fallen in love with.

What’s next

We already have ideas for updates, including:
• New powerups
• Additional obstacle types
• More visual environments
• Cosmetic trails for your descent
• Achievements + challenges mode

If you try it out, let us know your highest score and what features you’d love to see added. Your feedback helps us shape the next version.

Thanks for playing, more LaserKiwi experiments coming soon!
