Restore the Full Moon and push back the darkness! A strategic shape-matching puzzle where you combine moon phases to save the world from eternal night. 【Game Rule】 Darkness is slowly descending from the sky. If it reaches the ground, it’s Game Over. Move your moon pieces into the "Dark Holes" within the dark area to clear them. - Make a Full Moon: Combine two crescent or half-moon pieces to create a full moon and erase a Dark Hole. - Single Full Moon: If you have a full moon piece, one is enough to clear a hole. - Stage Clear: Erase all Dark Holes to progress. Each of the 4 stages increases the number of holes, making it more challenging! 【New Update: Push Back the Dark!】 Strategically clear the entire bottom row (4 holes) of the darkness. Doing so will push the dark area back up by one row, giving you more time to save the sky! 【Controls】 - Move: Drag moon pieces from the ground to the Dark Holes.
