One tap. An endless galaxy. Your ship orbits a star. Tap the screen and it launches along the tangent: aim well and the next star captures you into a new orbit. Miss, and you drift into the void. That's it — easy to learn, brutally hard to master. TODAY'S CONSTELLATION Every day brings a new constellation, identical for every player in the world. Same route, same traps, same chances: all that matters is how far you fly. Climb the daily leaderboard and race the ghost of your closest rival. 1v1 CHALLENGES Send a duel to a friend: same constellation for both, the longest flight wins. MASTER THE FLIGHT • Perfect release: launch at the exact right moment to build score-multiplying combos. • Route beacon: grab it to preview the trajectory of your next launches. • Emergency boost: a burst of speed when you're about to drift away. • Magnet: bends your course toward the star you were about to miss. • Cold stars: decoys that never catch you.

AND MORE • 30+ achievements to unlock. • Add friends and compare results. • Free play mode with no leaderboard, to practice without pressure. • Works offline: free play needs no connection. • One finger, short sessions, instant restarts.

About

Barkoff

Features
Read full description

Five bosses. Ten seconds each. One microphone. Barkoff is a single-player boss ladder for your voice. Each fight lasts eight to ten seconds and is scored on two things: how FAST you bark and how LOUD. Speed counts for more — anyone can shout, but holding two barks a second while a dog barks back is another matter. WHAT MAKES IT HARD Volume alone will not carry you. The meter weighs your bark rate above your volume, so a fight is a rhythm test with a loudness floor. Each boss denies you one of the two axes and dares you to win the other. THE FIVE • Pipsi — small, fast, deeply annoying. Your warm-up. • Turbo Bublik — a loaf with a motor. Out-shout him; you won't out-pace him. • DJ Havkins — reads the room and adapts fastest. • Baron von Gavstein — old money, enormous lungs. Beat him on speed. • MEGAHAV — fast and loud. Good luck. Each stays locked until you beat the one before it. Medals record how convincingly you won. NO SPEECH RECOGNITION The app measures two numbers: how far a sound sits above the noise in your room, and how long it lasts. It cannot tell what you are saying and does not care what language you speak. SINGLE PLAYER, NO NETWORK No accounts, no leaderboards, no online opponents, and no network requests of any kind. Everything runs on your phone. PRIVACY The microphone is analysed live on device and discarded. Nothing is recorded, stored or transmitted. Ten seconds a fight. Your neighbours will still hear it.
