JOURNEYS FOR EVERY MOOD • A gentle tutorial that teaches each idea one step at a time. • Carefully designed journeys through geometric patterns, from simple shapes to intricate star maps. • Hidden constellations: solve a puzzle and watch a figure appear in the night sky, then keep it on your sky map. • Random journeys with a difficulty for every moment, and a new Daily Constellation each day. MADE TO BE RELAXING • No timers, no lives, no pressure. • Undo any move and try again as often as you like. • An unfinished puzzle is always saved and waiting for you. • Soft ambient music and gentle sounds, with haptics you can turn off. MAKE IT YOURS Earn Resonance simply by playing and spend it on auras, particles, star shapes, victory effects, night-sky regions and sounds. Every item shows its price up front, and none of them affect the puzzles. FAIR BY DESIGN Between Stars is free to start, with no ads: both puzzle modes, their tutorials, the daily puzzle and a first taste of every campaign cost nothing.
