Hello people,
It's time to carve pumpkins and take that costume out of the closet, Halloween is here! And along with it, the SAKURA STARS halloween event.
During the 10/17-11/ 14 period, our magical girls will transform into witches and protect the world from ghosts and pumpkins. During this period, the characters of the game will have their appearance changed in celebration of the date.
So, put on your witch hat and come and celebrate with us.
Trick or treat?

Hello people,
I would like to announce that SAKURA STARS will receive a major update (V_1.2) containing some changes to the gameplay.
Corrections:
- Music speed has been corrected Some version 1.2 songs were slightly accelerated, correcting the timing of the songs.
- The scoring system has been improved Now, defeating a minion will give you 100 points while hitting a Boss shot will give you 10 points. This will encourage people who were just dodging minions to defeat as many of them as possible to increase their score.
- The sprites had minor corrections The color of the lace of the characters' clothes is now the same, this was necessary to add the new clothes of the transformation.
- A new powerUP has been added
Now, when you reach 3000 points, your character will transform into a magical girl, improving your shots by one level and changing your look. This change does not apply to Tanuki, who already has the best shot, speed and life. When you lose a life, your transformation is reversed and you need to reach 3000 points again to transform again.
- A new ENDURE game mode has been added
A new game mode has been added, where the goal is to make the most points on an infinite level. The waves will be chosen randomly and will become more difficult as your score increases.

Take on hordes of youkai in this 8bit horizontal shmup and defend humanity from supernatural beings.
Sakura Stars is a game made on Pico-8, a retro fantasy console with purposeful limitations and low-resolution to simulate an 8-bit era console.
But like modern shmups, the player has a small hitbox, indicated for a circle, allowing a greater number of enemy shots on the screen, as well as patterns with closer shots.
The characters have an artistic style of Japanese anime, purposely made in low resolution to create, together with the music, a more casual and relaxed atmosphere.
Features:
- Three characters, each with a different shooting pattern, and different speed. Choose the one that best fits your playing style.
- Enemy waves have a fixed pattern, encouraging them to be memorized to facilitate gameplay. Just like old arcade games.
- Four levels in retro style. Face Youkai girls at the end of each one.
- Soundtrack by authors of classical music, in chiptune style
- Made on Pico-8, a fictional virtual console, created to impose the limitations and low-resolution of the 8bit era and simulate the sensation of playing a game from that time.
- Anime like pixel art style. Drawn pixel by pixel, in a 16-color palette.
- OS: ubuntu 18.04.4 64bits
- Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 Processor 3.00GHzMemory: 4 GB RAM
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Radeon HD 5670 1GB or equivalent
- Storage: 25 MB available space
