I’m a big fan myself—I’ve watched most of their YouTube videos more than three times—and in that sense, playing this feels more like an act of fandom than a pursuit of fun gameplay.
Graphics

Love being able to support one of my favorite channels too and the art style feels very nostalgic of my first viewing of their vids a decade ago.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
i am looking forward to the next levels, the story is a nice "add" between the levels and gives you more and more fancy factorys.
Difficulty

At the time of making this review, I've made it to Sector 9 and the difficulty curve is pretty good in my opinion.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Add in a soundtrack that sparkles with cosmic energy and sound effects that make every action satisfying, and Star Birds becomes one of those games you can’t help but revisit again and again—whether for a five-minute break or a five-hour session.
Steam Deck
