What do you think?

Great metroidvania! The simple artstyle doesn't hide its quality inside

Despite being abandoned and occupied by ghosts, the Starlit facility is alive!

I think I got all upgrades i.e gunpower: 5,4,3 and 10 HP, unless I'm missing something

How i can download in Android?

I'll give Starlit Escape a 8/10 since it is really fun and very worthwhile to play. I found the beginning stages to be really hard without upgrades but it was still fun.

At the half point of the game, it felt really easy to kill the bosses and it did not feel fun to beat the last three bosses since they were way too easy to beat compared the beginning three bosses.

During the final battle it could have been more difficult and fun if Vendel could summon the bosses for a brief period of time and do at least an attack but the player could not attack the bosses. It would also feel proper if Vendel had a shield and a second phase. It would be nice to also include previous obstacles in the core like the electric floor, fan, conveyor belt and turrets from the motherboard fight. Vendel should also be able to summon other lesser machines to be disposed of. To be honest I found the Star Cannon fight to be harder than Vendel and I did not feel satisfied beating Vendel if it is that easy. By the way I do not get why the other ghosts think that Vendel is a traitor if all of the ghost wanted to get rid of the human in the first place

To be honest I did not feel a lot of substance in the maps where the last three bosses are located. The core also did not feel and look like a core. It was just a black room. It would be better if the core lights up the room or something.

There should be at least two configurations of the keyboard one for WASD and the other configuration for the arrow keys. There should also be a full screen mode so the immersion is there and the player will not have to see their side bar or toolbar.

Cryo Tech has a weak spot and it is under the hand and the player can just stay there and only dodge one attack. When the player gets Edge it gets easy to re-fight the previous six bosses since the player can just flip gravity and dodge the majority of the attacks. Box bot and Star Cannon are also super easy fights since by reversing gravity the player can dodge every single attack. The Star Cannon room can be fixed if the ceiling is lowered to the point that the cannon can go beneath the ceiling. The mother board was really easy since the player can only have to deal with one attack when gravity is flipped, this can be fixed if there was an electric ceiling and the attack that sweeps the floor also happens at the ceiling.

Really fun game. I wish it was just harder as the player gets more upgrades .

Alright. I haven't done a lot of the game yet, but I've found something fustrating.

Just how do you save the game?

I died twice and had to go through the opening cutscene and go all the way back to where I was. It doesn't help that the opening cutscene is VERY long.

If you have to find save rooms like in Metroid, then I'd recommend adding more to the beginning of the game, because I don't want to slog through the opening every time I die.
