Home - Team Stardust

Welcome to the home of Team Stardust!  We are a group of game-loving 8th graders from St. Pius X Middle School in Portland, Oregon. We have been working onver the last few months to create a game for the Oregon Game Project Challenge.

A special welcome to the participants, parents, and organizers of the OGPC!

The game is called Operation: Space Survival.  In it your play a space explorer which as returned home to Earth to find it destoryed.  In a mad dash, you must make your way across space to near nearest habitable planet, Trappist-1e to survive.  Your space ships hyperdrive can only carry 10 lightyears of fuel, and you must stop along the way to mine asteroids for crystals to refuel your hyperdrive.   Your ship has a limited supply of oxygen, so you must hurry or perish is space.

OSS is a top-scrolling 2D shooter game.  You must complete 4 levels to finish the game and make it to Trappist-1e.  The game also features 3 difficulty levels if you would like some additional challenge.

The game runs on Microsoft Windows.  You can download the game from the "OSS: Game" page on the left menu.

The OGPC competition is an annual state-wide competition in Oregon where middle school and high school teams build a game over the course of about 3 months, which culminates in a competition day.  At the competition day, the teams show off their game to their peers and judges, and do presentations and talks about game design, the process for doing development, and what challenges they faced.

Thanks again for stopping by.  Happy Gaming!!
