About Starbump

Starbump is a third-person platformer developed by 2DevsOnly that launched on PC in March 2026. It leans into chaotic, competitive multiplayer action with quick rounds and vibrant arenas. The game’s focus is on fast movement, mid-air combat, and teamwork, split into modes like team deathmatch and objective-based play. Designed for short, intense sessions, it’s a pick-up-and-play title that thrives on local or online co-op. The colorful visuals and frantic pacing make it a standout for party settings. It’s not deep but prioritizes accessibility and replayability.

Gameplay

Starbump revolves around rapid movement and timing. Players use double jumps, wall kicks, and boosters to cross dynamic maps while battling opponents with melee strikes or projectile weapons. Each match lasts 3, 7 minutes, forcing constant action without downtime. Controls are responsive but require precision for advanced tricks. Modes include capturing zones, eliminating rivals, or racing to collect points. Arenas shift between floating platforms, vertical mazes, and destructible terrain, keeping strategies fresh. The focus is on reflexes and teamwork, with respawns keeping the pace relentless.

What Players Think

Starbump holds a 4.3/5 on PlayPile, with 65% of players completing its 12-hour campaign. Average playtime is 8 hours, though most stick to multiplayer. Community moods split between "energetic" (42%) and "frustrated" (28%), often citing inconsistent difficulty. Critics praise its "crackling energy" but note "shallow mechanics." A Steam review sums it up: "Fun for 20 minutes, but the modes feel recycled after a while." Achievements are easy (85% completion rate), focusing on kills and tricks. It’s a hit for casual groups but divides hardcore fans.

PlayPile's Take

Starbump is a $19.99 microtransaction-free blast for friends looking to laugh and fight. It lacks depth but delivers consistent adrenaline. The $19.99 price and low barrier to entry make it a solid choice for parties or quick sessions. If you want a game that’s easy to learn but tricky to master, and don’t mind repetitive modes, it’s worth the cost. Avoid if you prefer strategic depth or solo play. The 12 achievements take 3 hours to unlock, so completionists can wrap it up quickly.
