Two alike become one. Keep going, and you forge a star. Stellar: Cosmic Merge is a calm, physics-driven merge puzzler. Drop cosmic bodies into the bowl and watch matching ones fuse into something bigger — stardust into meteors, meteors into comets, comets into moons, and on up the chain to a blazing Supernova. Every body you drop rolls, settles and shoves the ones already there. The bowl fills faster than you expect, so the whole game lives in one decision: where to let go. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Puzzle: 60 handcrafted levels across 5 sectors, each with its own goal and a limited number of drops Endless: no goals, no limits. One bowl, one board, and your all-time best score GOALS THAT KEEP MOVING Reach a Gas Giant. Build three Moons. Chain a 4x combo. Clear everything below a Planet. Merge forty times before the drops run out. Earn up to three stars on every level — clearing it is one thing, mastering it is another. Some levels bend the rules without warning you twice: Heavy Gravity slams bodies down and settles them hard, Low Gravity leaves them drifting and rolling long after you thought the board was still. BOOSTS FOR WHEN IT JAMS Smash: vaporize any single body and unlock the board Revive: clear the danger zone and keep the run alive COLLECT AND DISCOVER Relics: one treasure hidden in every sector, claimed by the players who master it Cosmic Codex: all eleven bodies, from Stardust to Supernova, each with the story behind it BUILT TO FEEL GOOD One thumb, one tap: no tutorial to sit through Crisp haptic feedback on every drop and every merge Hand-drawn cosmic art and a soundtrack you can leave running Reduced-effects mode keeps things smooth when the board is full Plays in English, Türkçe and Español PLAY ANYWHERE No account, no sign-up, no connection required. The whole game runs offline and your progress stays on your device. More sectors are forming beyond the horizon. Can you forge the Supernova?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stellar at none against Smash Hit's 2. Stellar also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Smash Hit's advantage is ratings volume (109K vs 1) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Stellar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.

Smash Hit ships an update every 2 months, Stellar every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
