STARGYRE is, above all, a tribute to Gyruss (1983),

one of the very first arcade games I ever played,

and one that left a deep mark on me in my youth.

I could only play it at the funfair.

Its original gameplay, its speed, its cosmic mood,

its music and its incredible sense of travelling between planets

fed my imagination for years.

With STARGYRE, I wanted to recapture that

feeling of the '80s arcade games,

while bringing my own vision to it — a wireframe 3D look,

a modern production, and

an original story with a real ending

that gives the journey meaning.

It's my way of thanking a classic

and KONAMI, the company that helped spark

my passion for video games and programming.
