"Starri is Ruined Forever and I will Never Play Nex Again," my daughter says with tears.
Hi Starri Team:
My daughter is heartbroken. After months waiting for Nex for her 11th birthday JUST so she could play Starri, she had the console of her dreams for 1.5 weeks until you updated Starri.
She told me with tears running down her face that her stats had been wiped, the Avatar she saw herself as was gone, and the game was no long immersive as the music; instead it had a loud screaming stage intro you can't skip.
I was able to find her missing stats, however, she still had tears in her eyes and would not be comforted. ( I made her her favorite foods and let her watch television, instead). She said ‘Starri is ruined forever!’ Her favorite avatar, which was an identity in the immersive world she saw herself in, was gone (true) and the lengthy intro with walking out on to stage with loud screaming fans and applause totally ruined the classic world of BEING the instrument (also true and relatable). Furthermore, she has a much harder time reaching the far left and far right buttons (can you imagine how frustrating)? She says she will never play Nex again (I hope that's not true; it was her birthday present). Sadly, it was her big present, and she's only had it for less than two weeks. Too bad we didn't get her BeatSabre! I'm very sad as a parent.
Please bring the option to toggle back to Classic Starri and away from the concert storyline experience, which feels bloated, like it’s missing the point, has less options, and deeply ruined Nex for her.

Since they worked hard on this version of the game, I wonder if they’ll bring back the other game as Classic Starri. Surely it’s saved somewhere!

Hi Marisa!
Thank you so much for the feedback. We are listening and collecting all comments. Have you adjusted any of the settings to turn off? Here’s a quick video I made showing the settings I turned off or down for my younger kids. https://youtu.be/7SBcHX__0hg
Our CEO and co-founder, David, posted a response last night on FB and Reddit. If you have time this weekend, please take a look. We'll respond with more early next week.
Thank you!
