Starting this, I didn't expect to play for 5-7 hours, or to cry. Wow. There are no words. Thank you so much for making and posting this.
(Also I may still be in love with Ginny oTL)

I am going to make this game into a movie the story is so good. Johnny will be played by Leonardo Di Caprio and he will finally win his Oscar.

Living proof that an engaging storyline actually enhances the gameplay sections too. The gameplay element is just a simple space shooter that has only tiny variations throughout the levels, but if you actually read the cutscenes, you feel strangely pumped to to get out there shooting again.

Wow, you know at first I thought this was just one of those simple shooting games, so I thought it was just a typical game and I would have rated 3/5 on it...but when I read the storyline, I fell in love with it... the storyline is so touching, heartwarming, teaches people alot of values. I wouldn't have been surprised if this game was made into a comic book or a book. Its a really awesome storyline, I wished there was a sequel. 10/5, very very good game.

@Natureguy85 There are two secret endings you can only get on hard mode. I shan't be telling you them though. And it has to be a new game. Not New Game Plus.

2nd comment after finishing. I enjoyed it. The gameplay is good and I had a lot of fun with it, but since you are also doing a story, it ends up being too dragged out. I was doing level after level with the story not really progressing. I like the idea of Johnny and Mare being more than what they seem. The story was interesting but the dialogue was to much like a date-sim. Are there more than 3 possibilities for the final wish and, if so, what dictates them? For all the talking with the women on the ship and Deuce noticing interest in them, only one wish had to do with one of them for me.

Dear Xdanond: This game Absolutely NEEDS a sequel, And it is long overdue. This game is Amazing, And it's Replayability is near Infinite.
This game needs (And deserves) A sequel. It's not just me here. We all agree, Don't we? This game deserves a sequel, And should you make it a project, We'll all back you up. The reason i didn't PM you this is so Everyone could see it. We Will support you.

There is WAY too much text at the beginning. I'm all for stories, but I also want to play the game. That said the characters were alright and the story is interesting. Johnny constantly commenting on the women is funny but at the same time makes this too much like a dating sim, so be careful with that.

Great game. Beautiful game. Excellent.
The story is nice, and it have alot of potential to expand even further.
It's a really good visual novel, I would really commend you for your efforts.
Dialogue is good, and music as well, and the characters are well designed. Well, in terms of graphics, there's still room for improvement, but overall, everything is great. Loved it. Good job!
I'd love a sequel as well. I look forward to it, xdanond! All the best!

I second ZombieGUY's motion. I would pay for a sequel to Starwish what I'd pay for a console game or a novel any day of the week. If it's half as good as Starwish 1, it would be worth every penny.

its a great game! and we really want a sequel and a great game a great developer so i think you should also make a game where you can make a market bigger and bigger with daily money and where you buy stuff and sell it for more (should be multiplayer with real people :))

I clicked the game name thinking it would be a fun time waster for the last hour. I wasn't disapointed. Kudos to you, Danond.

"Drink between meals, drink with a friend, drink to seal deals, and drink 'til the end" -Swig (You only find this quote if you talk to Swig in the cafeteria) Almost as awesome as the one where Deadeye said she was working on harnessing the power of love to make weapons.

Fabulous game, terrific cast of characters, but I've noticed a slight glitch. Sometimes when I hit 'Staus' or 'Hangar', after I try to go back to the main menu, part of the page I closed stays on screen, blocking about the right quarter of the screen. Anybody else having this problem?

i've tried so hard to get the special ending and finally did it... damn that was beautiful. this is one of the best flash games i've ever played and i'd love it if a sequel was mad. 10/10

One of the most pleasant, innovative and complex story-driven Flash games I've ever experienced. Definitely recommend playing this, and working your nonexistent tail off to earn all the endings. Very, very rewarding.

I enjoyed this flash game so much that I made a walkthrough for it! That's never happened to me before, and I doubt it ever will again. Well done, xdanod! http://www.kongregate.com/forums/3-general-gaming/topics/175829-rpg-shooter-starwish?page=13

Well my friend, this a fantastic late 80's style Anime Shooter. It was cool going through a time warp. The mechanics are nice and easy to control. Environments are well detailed. Enemies are cute prey. You put alot in the character story and development. Could easily see these characters in their own anime spin off. If the characters had more emotional drawings(10-15) instead of 6-8 stills to show emotion then the dialogue between them would be more interesting to read. I would love a sequel as well

Oh my God, what was that? This game have one of the best sories I've seen. The way you wrote it makes us really want to know the history of every character, theis secrets, etc. I'm speechless.

Wow, this has got to be the first Flash game that I've played that got me all emotional over the characters and story. I loved how every character had their own funny and dramatic moments, and the villains weren't painted as an always evil characters but simply miss guided. Definitely deserves 5/5 + fave!

I agree with you Jago that's the problem with multiple ending games when continued their usually continued from the neutral ending (in this case the wish is thrown away and everything remains destroyed) I'd like to think that the special ending is the true ending but alas its most likely just fan service. A prequel however would be a win-win we'd get to see all the pirate lords in their prime and learn their stories. Its been done before such as with Luffia 2 being a prequel to Luffia that told the story of the heros you keep hearing about.

Ps. (too lenghty...)
As well as I'm considered a sequel doesn't have to mean "Starwish 2" in a strict sense, the characters are wonderful, but they kind of had their endings didn't they? And from which ending sould you build?Well it's not my headache, but I belive that anything you do will be great, even if a completely different set of charcters, environment, or even a completely different game... Keep up the good work ;)

A really great game! I don't know if I'm the odd one out but personally What compelled me was the story. It's not to much text! It's the story that drives the whole game and rather I would've liked to se more of it and maybe less of the shooting which in my opinion s the only thing that isclose to a flaw due to the repetitiveness and on hard mode the weapons can't really handle some of the "hiding" enemies. Well maybe I just suck...
Anyhow a saving without quiting feature would be nice.
If you're planning a sequel I, like others, recommend you to try out kickstarter or something like that if you alreadý haven't. I Believe we are quite a few that would like to contribute.
Awesome drawing and Music. You've actually managed to create personalities that, at least I, believed in and cared for, that is quite an accomplishment. Hats off
