So, in this gameplay, I had added a mechanic to direct the crossbow towards the corners of the ROOMS to shoot the monsters more easily instead of just a straight line.
How did I add more frames between the animations of the Kikna Starlight object
Hey there,
*Starfish ROOM: DEFEND THE ROOMS* is a pixel-art *musou* roguelite inspired by games like *Vampire Survivors*, *Spent Shells*, and *Bullet Bunny*. You play as Kibo Wave—a progressive trans catboy chosen by his home planet (Cat-Planet) to defend the "ROOMs" against power-hungry alien colonizers. Ultimately, Kibo encounters his future self—a mecha-clone named Boki—and meets his end in the ensuing battle.
It’s not your typical roguelite; every card carries high risk—it’s a gamble where you either get lucky or suffer the card's downside.
Unfortunately, my phone didn't record the gameplay audio, so you'll have to watch it without sound.
The game also supports accelerometer controls, which is one of its unique features.
You can find the game at https://store.steampowered.com/app/4520420/Starfish\_ROOM\_DEFEND\_THE\_ROOMS/, or search for it on Steam and add it to your wishlist. Thanks!
It's true that we have a lot of games these days, but is a pixel art musou roguelite game something different in this sea of roguelites?
I have a Steam page for my game Starfish ROOM: DEFEND THE ROOMS and I wanted to know what I should do to make this game go viral or even just to build a good community, for example
Thanks for the tip!
By defeating Boki, you release Kikna, a kitten that uses a crossbow that shoot in monsters

Hey, I'm not very nostalgic (even though I'll be 21 in 2026) but I've been creating some projects since 2016.
This project is inspired by indie cartoons and games from that era, mixed with current themes.
In this game, we control a transgender catboy named Kibo Wave who needs to DEFEND THE ROOMS by killing a thousand monsters against one and fighting conservative alien colonizers in an loop eternal against your future self clone

Hey, unfortunately my game only got about 100 wishlists by the end of Steam Next Fest
Does anyone else recommend other Steam marketing methods that I could use to try and boost my Steam page?
In this update, I added text explaining the game's objective, and I also made the gameplay more addictive in the same style as Vampire Survivors, and much more...

Hey r/itchio,
Just wanted to share a milestone that feels a bit surreal. I’ve been pouring my heart into Starfish ROOM, a 2D sci-fi hack-and-slash roguelite.
The premise is that you play as Kibo Wave, stuck in an eternal loop fighting off alien colonization. You draft cards, build up crazy synergies, and cut through hundreds of enemies. I've been tweaking the gameplay a lot based on early testing—for example, I recently stripped out the old speedrun mechanics entirely just to double down on making the combat and card drafting feel as tight as possible.
It’s incredibly tough to get noticed as an indie dev these days, so I’m just trying to get some honest eyes on it. If you like fast-paced arcade action, score attacks, and pixel art, please check out the Steam page.
If you have any feedback or questions about the dev process, I'd love to chat in the comments!
