Steredenn: Binary Stars is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up mixed with a roguelike, with near-random levels, a huge arsenal and tough bosses. Its Daily Run gives every player the same run, guns and bosses, and you get only one chance per day to climb the daily leaderboard.
About Steredenn: Binary Stars
Steredenn: Binary Stars is the expanded edition of Pixelnest Studio's Steredenn, published by TyGAMES and first released on Steam in October 2015 for Windows, Mac and Linux, and later ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and iOS. It pairs a classic horizontal shmup with roguelike structure, drawn in big, bold pixels.
Each run flies you through almost randomly generated stretches of space full of enemies, space events and bosses. Along the way you pick up from 42 weapons and 30 upgrades, so no two ships end up the same. There are five playable ships, each with its own special ability, and a local co-op mode where two ships share four weapons and one life bar.
The Daily Run is the standout daily mode: everyone shares the same run, weapons and bosses, and you get just one attempt per day to set a score on the daily leaderboard. There is also a weekly Boss Rush with its own leaderboard, plus an Arena where you can replay any boss you have beaten in a one-on-one duel.
Runs are short and intense, with rock-hard boss battles. It suits shoot 'em up fans and roguelike players who like the pressure of one daily attempt.

Tips
- Practise in Normal mode before the daily, since you only get one attempt.
- Learn boss patterns in the Arena once you have beaten them.
- Do not grab every new weapon: a familiar gun can beat a stronger one you have not learned.
