What Makes Journey of 1000 Stars Stand Out
Busy your thumbs, clear your mind,
And journey to the West.
~~~.~~..~...
Journey of 1000 Stars is essential arcade zen. Bounce on clouds, collect stars, and don't fall down. Collect your companions as you approach 50 stars, then your journey truly begins.
In the tradition of Flappy Bird there is no difficulty curve to crash into. After 50 stars the game doesn't get any harder, it just stays hard. Scale this cliff then pick your way carefully along its edge toward 1000. Stay calm. Stay attentive. Stay alive.
Daily statistics report your efforts, your triumphs, and your skill, to help you on your way. Right now I'm at 99*, but I hope to reach 100 before release. I'll see you out there on the path, on the long long journey of 1000.
1000 Stars is a semi-sequel to Cumulo Nimbers, the 2012 party favourite developed for the Toronto International Film Festival ComicsVsGames event and then exhibited around the world.
* The current human record is 99 stars, however testing by artificial intelligence has verified that 1000 stars can be collected reliably by a player of sufficient skill.

"...or the bleep-happy rainbow explosion of Cumulo Nimblers, these are games which feel like they’re designed for an audience of one, but which through their sheer force of personality connect with many more people than that."

## Player Experience Highlights
**Community Insight:**
So there are clouds And they just change shape and move without disappearing So you should keep balancing between bouncing on clouds and eating stars so not all clouds get to the other side and u fall And look at where clouds move And when other characters appear let them eat stars because they probably already ate your star when you get to other side Just stay in your lane and avoid them Using this method we got 20 stars in 10 min of playing.

We love the art for this game and it is frustrating but addicting at the same time. We think it is totally worth it.
___
Incredibly addicting, frustrating, and satisfying all at once.
___
This game is pretty dank! Can't wait till we get 1000 stars.
___
This game is very adorable. And very fun. We just can't believe there are 1000 stars.
___
The game could and should have multiplayer.
___
It's quick to pick up and play but even getting past 10 stars feels like a major accomplishment. The game is almost relentlessly hard. At least it's cute, we just wish we lived long enough to hear more of the music and see more of the graphics.
___
Thought we'd check it our because it was featured. Either we don't get it, or we don't like it. It's like an endless game that would have iap and ads, but you have to pay for it. Many free games of that type are more fun. Apple must have featured because it's by people who did cannabalt.
___
Nearly every review gives this app 5 stars and calls it "cute." While the overused pixelated style may be cute, this unoriginal "game" is hardly enjoyable for 3 minutes. It's a complete waste of $2.
