Indie developer Createdelic has announced a release date for Starstruck: Hands of Time, their new yet nostalgic rhythm adventure game.
The story-rich rhythm adventure game is set to finally launch on September 16th for Windows PC (via Steam), years after the game was announced.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Starstruck: Hands of Time is a story-rich rhythm adventure game where you play guitar and abuse time travel! Control a giant hand destroying a miniature town, or play as the two guitarist kids living in it. For extra fun, optionally plug in a Guitar Hero controller!
Play guitar in an interactive rock opera
Play guitar in musical story segments, with a catchy soundtrack featuring live instruments and singing by Elsie Lovelock. If you still have your Guitar Hero or Rock Band guitar controller, dust it off, because this game supports it!
Destroy the world as a giant human hand
Demolish houses, solve puzzles, and open new paths for other characters as a giant hand. Unleash your destructive potential using hammers, screwdrivers, and more.
A strange game set in a miniature world
Save the future by exploring the strange diorama world of 20XX. Meet weirdly cute characters and unravel the mystery of how their little lives are connected to the end of mankind.
No rhythm? No problem
If you want to experience the music and story without the stresses of rhythm gameplay, you can enable “Autoplay” in the options menu. When Autoplay is enabled, the rhythm gameplay sections will play themselves.
