Faraway, an arcade game by solo developer Steph Thirion, launched today after 16 years of development. The game casts players as a shooting star that harvests energy from other stars to extend its survival while building constellations and earning scores. Thirion previously created Eliss, a cult-classic mobile game. Faraway uses procedural generation to vary each run and plays as a "one more run" arcade experience. The game is available now on Steam.
