Tap a star. It bursts and fires out in four directions, popping its neighbors, which burst and pop theirs. One good tap can clear the whole board. Tappy Star is a calm, satisfying chain-reaction puzzle. There are no timers and no lives. Just a board of cheerful stars and the question of where to tap first. MAKE YOUR OWN STARS Every star you pop leaves a little glowing gas behind. Clear the board and it all swirls together and ignites into a brand new star - brighter the bigger your chains were, and fed by every tap you had left over. FILL THE SKY Your new star flies home and takes its place in a constellation. Eight levels make a constellation, a hundred levels change the color of the sky, and 1,000 levels make a sky that is entirely yours. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Just want to pop? Every level can be cleared with taps to spare. • Want a challenge? Every level has a proven perfect solution. Find it for three stars. • Stuck? A hint spins the star to tap next, and tells you if a board can't be finished, so you're never left guessing. • 1,000 hand-checked levels, each with a verified solution • A gentle seven-lesson tutorial, repayable any time • Satisfying haptics on every pop, chain and new star • No timers, no energy, no pressure Simple, relaxing, and very hard to put down after just one more level. ## Key features - Chain-reaction star popping - Create new stars from popped ones - Build constellations - 1,000 hand-checked levels - No timers or lives - Satisfying haptics ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Remove Ads | $0.99 | one-time | | 25 Hints | $1.99 | one-time | ## Is Tappy Star safe?
