Scales of Stardust

 You've fallen quite far... 

Play as a star dragon trying to return to their home among the stars. Climb through four chapters as you become more powerful and overcome new obstacles. Each chapter introduces new mechanics to test you as you progress.

 How to play 

General Movement 

• A/D: Move Left/Right 
• Space: Jump (Hold space to jump higher)
• Escape: Pause game

 Fling Stars 

• Right-click (Hold): Attach to a nearby fling star
• Mouse: Pull the cursor away from the direction you want to fling
• Release right-click: Fling yourself in the direction you have chosen with the mouse
• There is a setting in the options menu to show a visualisation of how the launch direction is calculated (As seen in the gif below)

What do I need? 

The game is playable on any computer running any recent version of Microsoft Windows (32 or 64 bit). 
A keyboard and mouse are both required (the game is very difficult on a track pad, but you can use one if you don't have a mouse). 
A full play through should take about 20 minutes or less.

 Anything else? 

There's a built-in speed-run timer that can be enabled from the options menu. It will start timing when you first gain control of your character. The timer will only start when selecting a new game, not when continuing a saved game. The timer will pause during level loads.

I'll keep a leaderboard here of the best times through the game. Comment a video of you getting a good time and I'll add it to the list! (Must have the timer enabled for the whole run)

Best times
