Star Billions is an indie adventure video game by Catch & Release, LLC, an independent development team consisting of game designers James Tillman and Matthew Taylor. The game's first season was released on December 8, 2015, for iOS devices and later ported to Android. In Star Billions, players observe a hopelessly lost spaceship that is piloted by four unique artificial intelligences represented by anthropomorphic animal characters.[1] After each character presents its plan for resolving a given situation, the player must select the ideal AI to solve the problem.[2] Star Billions takes place in real-time as players wait to see how their decision will affect the story.[3] Players may also reduce the wait time by playing Game Boy style minigames.[4]
