Every level is based on a real constellation, and the gravity of its stars shapes the challenge. Tap and hold to build speed in orbit, let go to slingshot to the next star, and visit them all as fast as you can. There are no scripted paths โ€” only momentum, timing, and the night sky. โ€ข 55 Constellations โ€” From Orion to Scorpius, including all twelve signs of the zodiac, grouped into five collections: Sea & Sky, Heroes, Zodiac, Southern Sky, and Beasts. โ€ข Easy & Hard โ€” Every level comes in two variants. Finish both and beat the target times to earn all five stars. โ€ข Tap & Hold Controls โ€” Fly with one finger. Success comes down to when you let go. โ€ข Hand-Tuned Physics โ€” Not a simulator, but a satisfying arcade feel built around momentum, capture, and close calls. โ€ข Global Leaderboards โ€” Every level has its own Easy and Hard leaderboard. See how you compare with friends through Game Center. โ€ข Watch the Best Runs โ€” Replay your own flights, or watch exactly how the top pilots did it. โ€ข Endless Arcade โ€” Fly galaxy after galaxy. Visit stars to score, and dive into black holes to warp to the next one. โ€ข Collectible Cards โ€” Unlock a card for every constellation, with its mythology, key stars, and how to find it in the real night sky. Start with five free levels. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks all 55 constellations in any order, endless Arcade mode, and top-run replays on every level. No ads, no subscription. Fly carefully. The stars can wait.
