Basic Gameplay
Full of Stars is a mobile game released for iOS. Full of Stars gameplay is a mixture of Choice-Based Text Adventure and Top-Down Vertical Scrolling Obstacle Avoidance. The Choice-Based segments start with a prompt and then proceed to give the player a choice between multiple options that will affect your entire journey. These segments occur at the end of every Rift Jump and every time the player crashes their ship. The Obstacle Avoidance segments are every other moment of gameplay. The only time the player will not be doing one of these two things is when they are in the selection/upgrade menus.

There are several gameplay elements that the player must focus on throughout both gameplay segments. In Choice-Based segments, the player must focus on managing the four resources - Leadership Points, Passengers, Idium, and Idium Crystals (appearing on the screen in that order from the left in the selection/upgrade menus) - so that they do not die, and collecting Passengers. In Obstacle Avoidance segments, the player must focus on controlling the ship past many different types of obstacles (see controls below) and collecting Leadership Points, Idium, and Idium Crystals.

Controls
Full of Stars controls are seemingly simplistic. The player will press and hold on the right side of their device's screen to move toward the right border, and likewise press and hold on the left side of their device's sceen to move towards the left border. Releasing will automatically move the ship to the center of the screen. Swiping up on the screen will activate Overdrive and swiping down or quickly pressing and releasing the screen with two fingers will activate one of two modules - either the Mining Laser or the Bomb.

Tips and Tricks
Collect as much Idium/Idium Crystals as possible.

Spam-tapping on one side of the device screen will (more or less) keep the ship on the current forward path - without curving. This can be useful if the player needs to move in a straight-line path that is offset from the center of the screen.

Spend resources sparingly. The further the player goes into the game, the more difficult gameplay becomes. Several of these resources will be needed in the Choice-Based segments.

Riftfinity - the alternate mode to the normal storyline Journey - is a good way to collect Idium without repercussions. Crashing in Riftfinity will only decrease the player's core charge and the core charge refills over time. Riftfinity is also endless - Rift + Infinity = Riftfinity - so the player can travel for as long as they can to try to get a high score.
