Starfields are colorful specks floating in the air, which can be found in out-of-bounds of every level except Tower.

  • Size and intensity of Starfields varies from level to level. It is generally brighter and more visible in darker levels like Underground or Sunken CIty. Starfields effect also in different part of the same level OOB.
  • Sparkling Dots. Multi-colored, like confetti, most visible in the Underground OOB area.
  • Colorful Symbols. Those will float around you.
  • Sand clouds (at your feet). Limited to one hue. For example in Broken Bridge or Chapter Select)
  • After disconnection, companion dusting effect is multi-colored.

Rainbow colored particles or Symbols floating around you may float at feet level or cover the entire screen similar to sparkling dots and symbols floating in the goo in the Tower level.

Trivia[]

Starfield particles appear to use the same mechanics as sand and snow, so it is likely that those are the same engine assets and elements, except they look strange due to irregularities that the rendering engine faces when attempting to visualize elements outside the areas a player would normally visit or see. More specifically, the rainbow-colored particles appear similar to how non-RGB channels look when mapped to RGB (for example, world position XYZ coordinates or normal maps), a technique commonly used in 3D compositing.

Broadly speaking, a glitch is where something in the game does something it wasn't meant to. We do not distinguish between a "wanted Glitch" and actual bugs.
