Infinite stars. One touch. Attract them, repel them, and guide them home. Cosmos is a calming, relaxing physics-based puzzle game where stars respond to your touch, swirling into patterns as they move. This isn't a puzzle that demands fast thinking or perfect logic. It's a puzzle you feel. No timers. No pressure. Just you and a universe that moves at your pace. A universe you can hear — every movement has its sound. Play for a minute between tasks. Play for an hour when you need to decompress. Each level fits in a breath, yet pulls you deeper. Cosmos is a reminder: things can be simple. Things can be beautiful. You don't have to force anything. Just let it flow.

Cosmos's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
