About Starlines

Starlines is a browser-based, single-level HTML5 drawing game in which players connect stars by drawing lines to reveal constellations. The game is offered free of charge, contains no violent or gambling content, and has no in-app purchases.

Acceptance of Terms

By playing Starlines, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you are free to stop using the game at any time by closing your browser tab — no account deletion or cancellation is required.

• Play the game freely in your web browser on any personal device.

No Account Required

No Gambling, No Violence

Starlines contains no gambling mechanics of any kind — there are no bets, wagers, loot boxes, random prizes, or real-money transactions. The game also contains no violent content, weapons, or imagery intended to depict harm to any person, animal, or group. It is designed to be a calm, creative experience for all ages.

No-Lose Mechanic

Starlines is intentionally designed with no failure state. You cannot lose the game, run out of time, or receive a score that disqualifies you. The goal is to explore, draw, and enjoy connecting the stars at your own pace. There is no penalty for drawing lines in any order, and the game is always completable.

Intellectual Property

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the creators of Starlines shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use or inability to use the game. Because Starlines is a free, no-account service that collects no personal data, our liability is inherently limited.
