A Pixel-Perfect Love Letter to NES
Visually reminiscent of classic titles like Mega Man and Super Mario Bros., Star Hearts: Launch Point is an entirely handcrafted experience, featuring the vibrant color palette of the Nintendo Entertainment System, completely hand drawn animation and level design, and zero rotation, scaling, or bone rigging.
