Starspin – iOS Source Code

Overview

Starspin is an immersive 2D platformer, written in Swift using Apple Spritekit, where you control a pair of tethered stars through various levels. Completion of each level rewards the user with a Star Rating; stars can be used to purchase skins. The application is also advertisement ready; a banner advertisement is included on the main menu and interstitial ads play after 7 deaths and every 2 levels, although these values can be reconfigured or ads can be removed entirely. 

There is also level selection available on the main menu, subsequent levels can be unlocked by completing the preceding level.

Creation of more levels is very simple – each scene is in a simple drag and drop editor; numerous examples are included in the project and no additional coding is needed. Creation of new skins is also simple.

*Supports newer iPhone X and XS models.
