## What is Aurora?

Look up. Find the pattern. Trace the stars.

Aurora is a premium stargazing puzzle. Each night sky hides a real constellation among scattered stars and soft cosmic dust. Find it, then trace it in a single flowing stroke. The closer your shape matches the true constellation, the higher you score, until the sky locks into place and a piece of its lore is revealed.

What makes Aurora different

Every sky is alive. Stars twinkle at their own brightness. Aurora curtains drift in teal and violet behind the dark. Constellations can appear rotated, mirrored, or hidden among near-misses that share a few of their stars, so you have to really see the shape, not just connect the dots.

No countdown pressure in Practice. No banner ads. No forced interruptions. Ever.

How to play

Tap stars to lay down your trace, one star at a time. Watch the live accuracy climb as your shape gets closer to the real constellation. Clear and try again whenever you like. When you are happy, submit. Match the true shape and the constellation comes to life.

It is shape that matters, not orientation, so a constellation traced upside down still counts if the form is right.

Features

- 50 real constellations, from gentle starters to genuine challenges
- Daily Sky: the same constellation and seed for every player each day, with a global Game Center leaderboard
- Practice mode: gentle, untimed, with a guiding ghost, so anyone can learn the ropes
- Live accuracy readout while you trace
- A hint system that reveals the next star when you are stuck
- Short lore for every constellation you complete
- A living night sky with drifting aurora, twinkling stars, and per-star brightness
- Game Center leaderboards
- No banner ads, no interstitials, no countdown timers in Practice

Premium, not free-to-play

Aurora respects your time. No subscriptions, no energy systems, no aggressive upsells. Hints are free every day, and an optional coffee tip simply gives supporters a few more free hints each day. It is a thank-you, never a pay-to-win. Extra hints are also always available through an optional rewarded video, free to everyone.

Who plays Aurora

If you love calm puzzles, the night sky, or just want something beautiful to sink into for a few minutes, Aurora is for you. Learn the constellations the way people always have: by tracing them with your own hand.
