The 'Shooting Star' of the title is under your command, which you must steer to avoid the onslaught of asteroids and spaceships using a cursor alone. The auto-fire shooting method means that you do not need to use any other buttons to fend off your opponenets, which comes in handy as steering the star alone requires full concentration and lightning reactions to survive.
Your star fires constantly in four directions. If you manage to hit a spaceship, remnants will be left in its place for you to collect and gain extra points. You are given three lives which end when you are hit by an asteroid or spaceship and are gained at 10,000, 100,000 and 1m points. There are two modes of gameplay; 'Adrenaline Mode' in which asteroids and spcaeships of all kinds attack you, and 'Adrenaline Rocket Challenge' in which just rockets fly at you at a blistering pace.
The nature of 'Shooting Star's' gameplay rewards the accurate and quick use of a pointer input. The use of a cursor movement only gameplay mechanic, aswell as the ability to collect items quickly and move into open spaces, suits eye-gaze use particularly (see video below) e.g. look at an item to collect or look into space to avoid.
