The 2D side-scrolling action game “Star Leaping Story” produced by independent developer Lin Zihao in Taiwan was exhibited at the 2023 Tokyo Game Show.
The developers made various optimizations and updates for the demo version at the exhibition, and released the demo simultaneously on the Steam platform, allowing players who were unable to attend to experience the latest content.
“Star Jump Story” was independently developed by Lin Zihao and took nearly a year to produce full-time. The programming software, art design, plot settings and cutscenes were all completed by him alone, while the music was produced in collaboration with the music studio “Falken Recording Studio”.
The booth of this game at the Tokyo Game Show is located at 09-E72, Area E of the venue. Officials stated that the producer flew to Japan to set up the show the day before the launch, hoping to use colorful characters and creative gameplay to attract players to stop and try it out.

In response to “Star Jump Story” entering the 2023 Tokyo Game Show, Lin Zihao added and adjusted the content of the game and launched a new trial version after integrating player feedback. The adjustments include atmosphere creation, convenience updates and additional content.
Atmosphere creation:
Scene smoke and dust effect: In order to deal with the close proximity of the front and rear backgrounds of the game screen, this version adds a smoke and dust effect to give the screen more depth and layering. Teleportation crystals emit colorful light: Dangerous teleportation crystals emit colorful light, which increases the overall sense of fantasy in the scene and also allows players to pay more attention when moving.
Convenience Update:
Sprint special effect optimization: Adjust the sprint special effect to a directional arrow special effect so that players can clearly know what button they pressed. UI interface update: The screen is more concise, the health bar that is only used in specific levels is shortened, and the interface for adjusting the number of sprints can be adjusted.
Additional content:
New level objects: There are more torches and more obstacles in the level. Make the level content richer and players need to concentrate when playing. Added new levels and BGM: The SPEED RUN level, which was very popular at the “Summer Game Show”, has been added, and a new BGM has been added.
The 2D side-scrolling action game “Star Jump Story”, which will be exhibited at the 2023 Tokyo Game Show, is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2023. The demo version is currently available for download on Steam.
