About Heart Star

Heart Star is an adorable puzzle-platformer where teamwork is the key to success. In this game, you control two cute characters, Heartgirl and Starboy, who are trapped in separate worlds. The catch is that their environments are color-coded: Heartgirl can only interact with red or pink objects, while Starboy is bound to blue platforms and blocks. To solve the puzzles, you must constantly swap between them and make them cooperate.

Although they live in separate dimensions, the two characters can still interact with one another. The inactive character remains solid, meaning you can use them as a stepping stone or carry them across hazardous areas like spike pits. Finding the perfect path requires you to think ahead, push buttons, and time your swaps perfectly to get both heroes to their respective golden goal zones.

Controls

You can guide the characters using the following desktop keyboard layout:

  • A / D or Left / Right Arrow: Move left or right
  • W, Up Arrow, or X: Jump
  • Spacebar: Swap active character

Gameplay Tips

  • Use Head-Hopping: If a ledge is too high for one character, position the character underneath it. The active character can jump onto the inactive character's head to get the extra height needed to reach the ledge.
  • Carry Across Hazards: Since one character is unaffected by the 's colored hazards, you can have one character carry the on their head across a dangerous floor of spikes or traps.
  • Observe the Platform Colors: Take a moment at the start of each level to trace the paths. Pink platforms only exist for Heartgirl, and blue ones only exist for Starboy. Plan which character needs to stand on which switches to help the advance.
