  •  Omega Horizon: Fight and defeat the alien hierarchy on Turnax!

  •  Rayne the Rogue 2: Find your way into the treasure vault.

Disclaimer: Products not Final

 

You can pause your game and put your PocketStar into standby mode. Just continue where you left off!

 

Our App Store is in development. Just pair your PocketStar and start downloading games directly to it!

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: We noticed that there is a confusion that many people think you have to purchase games, which is not true. The app-store is only there to make it easier to download games onto the PocketStar.

Also, there won’t be ads in the games, as some people might think!

An on-board App Store is also Planned!

 

Many games are planned to support Multiplayer over Bluetooth and over the internet via our servers!

Online global ranking Highscores

 

The PocketStar has a sharp, 0.95 Inch OLED display with 96*64 pixels.

 

The powerful ESP32-C3 can handle 3D graphics with ease. Clocking in @160MHz, it is a top-tier-microcontroller!

Your thumb comfortably fits on the curved inside of the D-Pad and is designed with all the big-hand-guys in mind!

A strong housing structure makes breaking your Pocuter basically impossible.

The Small & durable PocketStar takes all hits and is safe in your pocket!

 

A mono speaker gives you the real retro experience!

Much needed haptic feedback through a built-in vibration motor turns games into a delight to play!

 

Most of the games already use it!

Control games with gestures!

No battery change needed, just plug your PocketStar in with an USB-C cable and charge it in 2-3 hours to get 5+ hours of active gaming!
