* ClassicVideoGameScrewYous: Quite a few examples.
** Aura-Aura will flinch when hit, freezing in mid-air & losing all of his momentum. When you're trying to climb higher, this can be frustrating.
** None of the levels have checkpoints, so dying in the later levels can be a [[RageQuit major turn off]] for some players. [[spoiler:And then there's [[MarathonLevel Marathon Mode]]]]. Hoo boy.
** EverythingTryingToKillYou: Well, almost everything.
** The previously mentioned yellow electrical fences only cause damage to you. [[PaletteSwap Purple ones]] are the ones you REALLY want to look out for. They aren't constantly on, but if you dare even come close to one; [[OneHitKill KABOOM]]!

* FallingDamage: Taken [[UpToEleven to great extremes]]. If Aura-Aura hits the ground and is falling fast enough, regardless of his current health, he'll die instantly.

Aura-Aura has fallen out of the sky & crashed onto Earth, and it is up to the player to guide him[[note]]The game & some other media refer to Aura-Aura as male.[[/note]] back up to space so he can become a bright shining star... [[ExcusePlot Not the most in depth of plots]].

* DefeatEqualsExplosion / [[MadeofExplodium Made of Explodium]]: Aura-Aura will blow up if damaged too much, or if he hits the ground, see "Falling Damage" below. Justified as stars go out in Supernovae when they die.

* NoBiologicalSex: Although Aura-Aura is referred to as a male, stars don't have genders.

Gameplay consists of jumping from point to point & using Aura-Aura's Grapple Arm to latch on to them, and continuously climbing until he reaches the end point. There are 2 modes of play: Score Attack, where the player attempts to beat each of the 10 levels with the highest possible score, and Endless, where the player tries to reach the highest possible altitude within the allotted time. The following power ups can be found:

* RiseToTheChallenge: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Starting with level 3, an electrical beam follows you as you climb, but it only goes up as you climb, if you sit still, it won't move. It also lags pretty far behind, so it's hard to notice. However, touching it will still hurt you.

* [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Star]]: Just look at those eyes!

* [[AdvancingWallofDoom Ascending Floor of Doom]]: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Starting with level 3, an electrical beam follows you as you climb, but it only goes up as you climb, if you sit still, it won't move. It also lags pretty far behind, so it's hard to notice. However, touching it will still hurt you.
