I wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone who's supported us during our Kickstarter campaign! It's unfortunate we weren't able to attract as many folks to the project as we were hoping for, but all the same we will continue working on our games here at StarNix Studios. Keep an eye out for new and different opportunities to get involved with SNS games on Kickstarter in the future, we've got a lot of different genres and styles lined up already. :)
Again, thank you!

Okay, so we've just made a few small adjustments to the tutorial level and we've got it setup as just a quick demo so that everyone can get the feel for it. There are still some minor things that need work, and it's a very short level since it's the tutorial, but I think you'll see for yourself that controlling the dust ball accurately can be a fun little challenge on its own. Let us know what you think!

Hello there Kickstarters! First of all, I'd like to start off this update by thanking our backers for their support. It's people like you that make all the difference, and I couldn't tell you in words how much it means to all of us at StarNix Studios. Oh, and don't forget to let your friends and family know about the project if you think they might be interested! We need all the help we can get, and we're hoping we can build up some momentum.
Now, for updates on the project itself. We've begun working on the second level puzzle, which is in the bedroom environment. It's a high-speed puzzle that will test your timing on a roller coaster ride of fun! It's been posing its own set of challenges to design and implement, but nothing we can't handle! In the meantime, we're also doing our best to make sure that we have a playable demo of the tutorial level you saw in our launch video as soon as humanly possible. We're just trying to clean it up a little and make sure that everything runs perfectly for you! Keep an eye open for that update very soon, and once again, a big thank you for all our current and future supporters!
Spread the word!
