Stellar Flow

Stellar Flow is a fast-paced arcade endless runner developed in Unreal Engine 5, inspired by the rhythm and precision of games like Guitar Hero, but with a twist: instead of hitting notes, you'll dodge them.

Pilot your ship through an infinite neon highway made up of five energy lanes. Switch instantly between lanes using the Q, W, E, R, and T keys, avoid increasingly difficult obstacle patterns, collect Flux Orbs, and push your reflexes to the limit as the game continuously accelerates.

Every run is unique thanks to a procedural chunk generation system, challenging players to beat their previous high score while mastering the growing speed and increasingly complex obstacle layouts.
