Ella Stars

Ella and Bird have an origin story with 50+ million views on YouTube across 49 hilarious music-based animated episodes. Ella Stars is basically a playable greatest hits album with hand-drawn art and tight gameplay as grace notes. Own them all in the Deluxe Addition. It's worth it. Well not narratively, but you can crush each unique boss with a perfect combo at the end for a satisfying crescendo. Ella's a lovable character with long-time fans of the series while the typical rhythm-action player loves a challenge, so we deliberately designed with a wide range of accessibility in mind. Move through difficulty modes until the bosses break you (or you break the game, then we humbly concede to your mastery).

  • A heartfelt story of self-discovery: A relatable narrative about identity, belonging, and self-expression designed to resonate with players of all ages and backgrounds.
  • 100% original soundtrack: Over 30 original tracks featuring K-pop artists, including Eric Nam (GQ Korea's Man of the Year 2016), 1kyne, VIA, Shorelle, and Mark Angelico Thomson. More music announcements to come!
  • Idol progression: Grow Ella as a performer by unlocking songs, outfits and stages.
  • Accessible rhythm-cation gameplay: Intuitive mechanics that emphasize flow over pressure.
  • Hand-drawn animated art: Vibrant visuals that bring Ella's world to life with color and personality.
