## What is Hoshikururi?

Rotate, match, done.
Hoshikururi is a color-matching puzzle where you spin rings floating in the night sky to guide star beads onto the sockets of the same color.

- NO DEAD ENDS
Rotating a ring can always be undone, so you can never get stuck.
"Dead end, start over" simply does not happen here. Every one of the 120 levels was machine-verified to be solvable during development.

- NO PRESSURE
No timers. No lives. No quotas.
Undo is unlimited. Take your time and play entirely at your own pace.

- NO LUCK INVOLVED
There are no hidden colors, and no boards that reshuffle when you retry.
Every level is a fixed, hand-checked layout. When you solve it, it is all your own skill.

- GENTLE AT NIGHT
A deep indigo night sky and a soft music-box soundtrack.
Perfect for winding down before bed.

- HOW TO PLAY
1. Trace a ring, and the star beads on it advance one step at a time.
2. Neighboring rings share one socket. Beads switch rings there.
3. When every bead matches the color of its socket, the constellation connects and the level is cleared!

- FEATURES
* 120 levels across 6 night skies, from a gentle tutorial to satisfying late-game puzzles
* Works completely offline (plays fine in airplane mode)
* Color assist mode adds symbols to the beads, so colors are never the only cue
* Optional arrow-button controls and full VoiceOver support
* Unlimited undo and a hint system for whenever you want a nudge

This app is free. Ads are shown to support development, and they appear only between levels, never during play. You can clear every level without watching any ads.

Turn a ring, watch the stars go round, and let the constellations light up, one quiet level at a time.
