Starquake is an action-adventure platformer originally developed by Stephen Crow and published by Bubble Bus Software in 1985. The game was later reissued as a budget title by Ricochet in 1988, making it more accessible to a broader audience on the Amstrad CPC. Players control BLOB (Bio-Logically Operated Being), a repair robot tasked with stabilizing the core of a rogue planet to prevent its destruction. The game features a vast, interconnected world with multiple levels, each filled with hazards, puzzles, and enemies. Players must navigate these areas, collect items, and repair the planet’s core before time runs out.
