Sometimes, in order to be allowed to mount Starshine, Lisa needs to calm him first. This is done by caressing him. To do this, move Lisa to the side of Starshine. Place her in a position close to the head and the Caring Icon (a hand) appears. Then press the left mouse button. Repeat the patting process a few times.

The Golden stars may be well hidden sometimes, so have a good look around. How many golden stars you have picked up at the end of the game show how successfully you have completed the game. Also, if you play all four Starshine Legacy games, a secret will be unlocked if you have successfully collected all the stars!

Load and save games

At the end of each level, you have the option to save the game. Games are saved automatically. Saved games are stored in the “options” menu.
