What players say

Players are divided on Starlair. Those who enjoy building levels praise the editor and the 'Metroid Maker' concept, but many others call the controls floaty and the platforming frustrating, especially with no controller support. Long-time players say the developer stopped updating content by mid-2025 and that a 2.0 update replaced hand-crafted assets with AI-generated art and music.
