Read full description

A distress signal reaches you from a research station trapped near a black hole. Its pilots are stranded in escape pods. You control their way home. ONE SIGNAL. MANY ROUTES. Hold a pod and drag toward one of six exits. Drag farther to widen your signal. Read the forecast before you release: nearby pods have their own intentions, and one gesture can move an entire crowd. Take your time. The rescue advances with your moves, not a timer. THREE SYMBOLS. A RESCUE. Pods wait in a six-slot Rescue Dock. Three matching symbols depart together, rescuing their pilots and sending an outward shockwave through the field. That wave can create another rescue—or bring more pods into an already crowded dock. PLAN FOR WHAT COMES NEXT. Incoming pods appear at their entry lanes before they arrive. Gravity pulls toward the center. Later, enough pods must remain to stabilize the escape gates. Read the full forecast, manage the dock and keep black-hole danger below its limit. CHOOSE YOUR PRESSURE. • Easy: more room to learn, slower arrivals and gravity, and optional move suggestions. • Medium: the original balance, with forecasts and optional help. • Hard: a crowded field, faster arrivals and a smaller margin for error. Each difficulty keeps its own best score. LEARN BY RESCUING. A skippable animated briefing gives the mission its purpose. Play through six practice moves, inspect each result at your own pace, and return to the field guide whenever you need it. Start by rescuing three pilots, then aim for nine, eighteen and beyond in an endless rescue challenge. Play offline with no account, third-party advertising or in-app purchases. Settings, scores, tutorial progress and resumable runs stay on your device.
