Decide the fate of interplanetary travel in this multiplayer puzzle versus game coming to PC! Hone your skills as a Star Clearer in one of many single-player modes, clearing colorful stars in the night sky.
Or unravel the mysteries of the world and its inhabitants with a huge cast of characters in Story Mode, and compete against friends!
How to Play
Scramble Star Crossing isn't just about clearing your own board — it's about using chains to strike back.
Match same-colored stars
Line up 3 or more stars of the same color on your board to clear them — the core loop of every mode, from solo Zen to online Versus.
Chain clears to attack
Clear a link while another one is still resolving and it counts as a chain. The bigger the chain, the more havoc it sends crashing onto your opponents' boards.
Unleash your True Starburst
Every Star Clearer has a unique special move — from Regis's full-row sword strike to Lucia's all-color wildcard laser. Time it right to turn a losing board around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a demo I can play right now?+
Yes! A free demo is available on the Steam store page — it debuted during Steam Next Fest and gets updated regularly. Wishlist the game to get notified whenever the demo changes.
When does Scramble Star Crossing release, and how much will it cost?+
We're targeting a 2026 release on PC via Steam. Pricing hasn't been finalized yet — wishlist or subscribe below and we'll announce both as soon as they're locked in.
What platforms will it be on?+
PC via Steam at launch, with full controller support alongside keyboard and mouse.
Can I play with friends locally, or only online?+
Both! Versus, Tag Team, and Free-For-All modes all support 2–4 players locally on one screen or online.
Do I need to know Story Mode to enjoy Versus, or vice versa?+
Not at all. Story Mode follows Alice through her first Star Clearer Competition and unlocks characters and lore as you go, but every mode — solo or multiplayer — uses the same core matching and chaining rules, so you can jump straight into Versus if that's what you're here for.
Is Scramble Star Crossing a Match-3 game like Candy Crush?+
It's a competitive match-3 with a stellar twist — the matching itself will feel familiar, but you're not just clearing your own board. Chains send havoc onto your opponents' boards in real time, closer in spirit to competitive puzzle-versus games like Puyo Puyo or Tetris.
