An endless runner with a cute sea theme, by Sleepy Turtledove Gaming.

In *Star Glide* you guide a little echinoderm (e.g., sea star, urchin, sandollar, etc.) through dangerous underwater hazards, collecting seashells and gaining power-ups throughout the twisty ocean floor. Tap the left or right sides of the screen to control your Star, avoiding obstacles like Saws, Sea Bombs, and Spikes so you don’t take damage.

You have three lives per game, and when you lose all three lives, the game ends. Each obstacle takes a different amount of lives—so some are more dangerous than others. Seashells spawn near obstacles, and collecting eight in a row gives you a Combo with a special power (shield, magnet, shooter, an extra life, etc.). You can spend your Shell Coins in the casino machines to win cool prizes! Can you beat your high score? Find out now!

Disclaimers:
- This game took a month days to make, so if some aspects feel rushed or offbeat, that’s why.
- All sound effects, graphics, and music were made by me. Please do not take any of these assets without my permission.
- The fonts are free, however, and I do not own them.
- Currently ‘Skins’ button does not have a backend, so it does not work. ‘Plinko’ and ‘Prizes’ do work.
Bugs:
- Sometimes obstacles will spawn inside platforms, making you take damage from seemingly nothing.

Please let me know what I should add! I’ve got big plans for this game if I can remember the code :)
Also if you find anymore bugs, please point them out to me so I can squash them.
This game is available for both iPads AND iPhones, so download the Hub on your phone and try it out! The aspect ratio works on all mobile devices.

Happy Gliding!

5.0
Version 5.0 is here!
- Added the Speed Boost and Doubler Bonus power-ups. One gives you a small boost across the screen—knocking out all obstacles. The other will turn all Shell Coins into Spirals for 12 seconds, doubling their value.
- Fixed the bug where the Magnet power-up would also absorb obstacles and platforms instead of just coins.
- Made it where the ‘refill’ cost for the Plinko game incrementally increases every time you clear the prizes (e.g., 100 to 125 to 150). This prevents you from speedrunning the entire prize game for only 350 coins, five times in a row.
- Tweaked a few sounds and music effects.
- Added a sound effect for saws that gets louder the closer you are to them.
- The score text now changes color when you beat your previous high score. A new high score will also give you a small reward.

- Further improved iphone optimization.
