Drop planets, merge matching pairs, and grow a meteor into the Sun — while the real night sky above you quietly changes the rules. Ecliptic computes tonight's actual sky from your device date: moon phase, visible planets, constellations, eclipses and meteor showers. Then the sky reaches into the game. Free, with no ads, no purchases and no tracking — and no account needed. Fully offline. METEOR NIGHTS On real meteor shower nights — the Perseids, the Geminids and more — gravity shifts, scores climb, and actual shooting stars fall onto your board. During a full moon, Moon merges glow brighter. The calendar is astronomical; the consequences are playable. DAILY RUN One board for everyone, every day. The same layout under the same sky, generated from a deterministic daily seed — no server involved. Powers are off, you get 100 drops and a single attempt. Share your result card and grow your streak — and a shield you earn can cover one missed day. STAR ROUTE 13 constellations, 65 levels — and every constellation plays under the surface gravity of a real celestial body, from the Moon's floaty 0.17g to the crushing pull of the Sun. Finish a level in fewer drops and you earn more stars — stars open the road. Along the route you'll also meet 17 proven-solvable puzzle levels, where the full piece sequence is visible from the very first drop. TONIGHT Open the almanac to see what is above you right now: current moon phase, visible planets, constellations, and the upcoming eclipse and meteor shower calendar — all computed on your device. Location is optional and never leaves your phone. A COMPLETE LITTLE UNIVERSE - 12 tiers to merge: Meteor, Asteroid, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Sun — and two Suns collapse into a supernova - Three powers when you need them: Black Hole, Swap, Undo - Earn Stardust, browse the Cosmic Catalog for observation filters and sound packs, and fund the Dyson Sphere monument project - Every planet is drawn procedurally by code — no textures, no two worlds alike - An adaptive synthesized soundtrack that follows your play - An optional Game Center leaderboard: connect for a global rank, or ignore it — the game plays the same either way - Nothing is for sale: every mode and every level is included, free - Fully localized in English and Turkish Ecliptic is a planet merge game you can play in one hand and an almanac you can trust: if the app says the Perseids peak tonight, they really do — step outside and check. PRIVACY, PLAINLY No ads, no in-app purchases, no analytics, no tracking, and no account needed. Everything runs on your device and works completely offline — the one exception is the optional Game Center leaderboard, which stays off until you turn it on. Location is optional, used only for the almanac, and processed only on your phone. ## Version history (last 2 releases) ### 1.3.2 — 2026-09-09 This update brings the sky inside the game — and rewrites the music.
