Somewhere in the night sky, the stars have scattered. Each one sits alone in its region, waiting to be placed — waiting to be found. Your mission: reunite them all. Lone Star is a beautifully crafted star-placement puzzle game inspired by the classic Star Battle logic genre. Place stars on the grid so that every row, column, and region contains exactly the right number — but no two stars may touch, not even diagonally. Simple to learn, deeply satisfying to master. A Sky Full of Stories Every puzzle you solve lights up a star in the constellation map. Watch as scattered points of light connect into the shapes of real constellations — Orion, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, and more. Complete entire constellations to see the night sky come alive.
