About U STAR

Short description: U STAR is a social life-sim for iPhone. Create your Star, move into a sunny city plaza full of real players, work shifts, shop the looks, post clips on POPit and audition for the spotlight. Your Star Level is earned, never bought.

U STAR starts with your Star. Pick from body types from Slim to Full, three heights and a range of hairstyles including afros, braids, locs, cornrows, twists and waves, or scan your face so your Star gets a face picture made from it. Then step into the plaza: walk-in shops like Fit Check, Kickz Lab, Glow Up, Fade City, Sip & Chill and the Flex Zone gym, a park and an open-air stage, a cinema, podcast studios and a movie set. A full day passes every 48 minutes.

Work shifts as a barista, boutique associate, club promoter, gym trainer, stylist assistant or camera operator to earn Coins for clothes, sneakers and hairstyles. Keep fit, because skipping the gym for over a week changes your Star's weight. Settle things in opt-in fights, take the boxing class, dance, and talk with players nearby in opt-in voice chat.

Everything happens on your Star Phone, including POPit, the city's own clip app: film clips and photos with the game's sound, scroll For You and Following, go LIVE with a friend, and rack up likes and followers from real players. Those likes and followers, along with shifts, workouts, fights and showing up each day, raise your Star Level, which can't be bought. Get far enough and you can tape an audition at the movie set, make the finalists and face a live finale for a title and a Cast Gold outfit nobody can buy.
