About

Between Stars

Features
Read full description

Between Stars is a calm gravity puzzle in space. Guide a ship to its destination using the pull of planets. Aim the ship, launch, and watch gravity bend the route. Every level has a one-burn solution: use one continuous thrust activation, then let gravity carry the ship to the destination without more thrust. Finding it is a challenge, not a requirement — you can use additional thrust whenever you need to correct your course. When you complete a level, you earn points called lumen. How many you earn depends only on your total thrust time: less thrust means more lumen. You can wait before launch and let gravity carry the ship without losing lumen. Your highest-scoring flight on each level is automatically saved for replay. As you complete levels, these replays form a personal collection you can watch anytime and show to friends. The game includes 27 hand-tuned puzzles divided into three level packs. “Origins” centers on planets that pull the ship. “Deep Gravity” adds moving planets, pulsing gravity fields, and two-planet systems. “Aurora” introduces repulsors: fields that push the ship away instead of pulling it closer. There are no timers, no lives, and no fuel limits. Retries are unlimited. Experiment at your own pace. Optional hints show a successful route only when you ask. • A calm ambient soundtrack for each pack • Play in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese • Play all 7 levels in the “Origins” pack free • One optional purchase permanently unlocks the other 20 levels and every future level pack • No ads, accounts, tracking, or subscriptions
