If the core is not repaired in a timely manner, it will implode, setting off a chain reaction that will destroy the entire universe. The planet is inhabited by various primitive creatures, all dangerous to the touch, and the remnants of an earlier civilisation that provides the elements necessary to rebuild and stabilise the planet's core.

In this fascinating game of adventure and exploration, players are immersed in an alien world full of dangers and puzzles to solve.

In ‘Starquake’, you become an intrepid space explorer who must scour complex underground caverns in search of crystals to prevent a planet from collapsing.
