Last week we brought you the news that the snazzy looking Starr Mazer could be 3DS bound. For those not in the know Starr Mazer is a fusion of point-and-click adventure game and hardcore 2D shooting, with incredible pixel art and a soundtrack composed by the likes of Alex Mauer (VEGAVOX, Serious Sam: Random Encounter), Manami Matsumae (Mega Man) and Jake "Virt" Kaufman (Shovel Knight).
The Kickstarter is currently well on its way to meeting its pledge goal of $160,000, with over 50% raised already and 18 days left to go.
To be announced on its Kickstarter page later today but sent to us - and others, we assume - ahead of time, the developer has pinned down stretch goal targets - these include the Wii U at $220,000 and 3DS at $300,000.
Would you be interested in seeing Starr Mazer on the Wii U and 3DS eShop now that the stretch goals have been revealed? Let rip with your laser cannon in the comments below.

This looks pretty awesome, looking forward to the finished product. I do miss me some fine shmups and point'n'click adventures, so this game will fill up both.
You've caught my attention with the description. Looking forward to it.
We can make that Wii U stretch. I'll make an exception and likely enthusiastically back this one, simply because it may be our one shot at a legit point and click on the Wii U. Absurd, given the interface is ideal.
Looks so good and will definitely sound terrific with the music crew detailed above. I would definitely fancy some touch screen point and click adventure and off-tv shoot them up action.
I'd love to see this on every platform because it looks sweet imo.
I wish that was a real console system too!
Pass
The point and click aspect has me convinced since I grew up during the Sierra point and click adventure golden age, but I'm not so sure about the flight aspect. Not a fan of games like that. I'm gonna check out the kickstarter though! Can you imagine the epic glory if the King's Quest Collection was released for Wii U/3DS with the gamepad/touchscreen functionality???
I almost thought this said Mazzy Star. Anway, I hope this makes it!
Hmmm... I'm quite interested in shmups, but don't know how I feel about the point-n-click adventure gaming. I've already backed about half a dozen Kickstarter games coming to Wii U, so maybe I'll look into this.
Oh my
Meanwhile I still have to cross my fingers it even meets its standard goal, let alone its stretch goals...
point & click and shoot em up in one game?
that's pretty unique. has nice graphics too.
looking forward to it.
Jake "Virt" Kaufman Sold...
Looks like the developers were Axelay fans (and who could blame them). Definitely interestes in this title....
Wait, I'm reading that video is a fake https://thesegacollection.wordpress.com/tag/vikingr99-super-system/
And the top pic is a crossover game with another title by that developer. So confused....
I'm intrigued enough to give this a shot, especially if they have some way of adjusting gameplay to favor the point and click parts over the shmup parts. I can handle a decent shmup, but if it's got any resemblance to a bullet hell, I am not interested.
NOW THIS IS MY KIND OF GAME!! Really hope it makes it the Wii U and hopefully the 3DS.
And boy Manami Matsumae sure has been getting a lot of work on kickstarter lately, huh? Awfully nice of her. Either that or kickstarter is really where the money is at for these music composers.
I'm buying this with money!
Although I don't like bullet hell shmups.
Looks awesome! The Wii U stretch goal is still a long shot.
This game looks beautiful!!!!!!!!
Gotta get it along with pip!
