A Dreamlike Journey Through the Stars

Made in 4 days for GMTK 2026 Game Jam using Unreal Engine.

Theme – Countdown

In StarLine, every second matters. Sail across a dreamlike world above the clouds, chart forgotten constellations, and race against a countdown to reach the one waiting at the center of the world.

Gameplay

Take command of your ship and sail across a surreal ocean of clouds. Your ship runs on a limited supply of fuel that constantly counts down. To replenish it, you'll need to stop and fish, completing a timing-based fishing minigame. Using the telescope mounted on your ship, solve anamorphic alignment puzzles by viewing the stars from the correct position and angle. But, also be careful where you look through your telescope, spotting mysterious angler fish awakens it, which cling to your ship and drain its energy, cause you countdown to tick even faster.

Restore all six constellations, overcome the countdown, and sail to the center of the world.
