​Star Impact takes place in the distant future during the first missions of interstellar space travel. The player takes control of Stella Striker, a character that can run, jump, climb, dash, and attack her way through hostile environments and alien bad guys. The player continually runs forward and must time their abilities to navigate through the levels. The Launch Cannons allows the player to fly over large areas at extreme speeds, horizontally and vertically. Cannons move and spin, allowing the player to navigate through deadly terrain to test their skill and lite problem solving abilities.
