One verb
Press and hold. A singularity opens under your finger.
That's the entire control scheme. Everything — the orbit, the slingshot, the death — comes out of one gesture and the physics you set in motion.
Greed is the enemy
The singularity always wins.
Hold too long and the event horizon swells until the comet shreds at the Roche limit, under your own finger. Learning when to let go is the game.
Feed, then crush
Risk turns into power — for as long as you can hold it.
Cores feed the comet's mass. Fill the gold bar and the red stars that used to kill you shatter instead.
A sky to climb
Trace real constellations. Or just survive.
Clear a sector by core target or by tracing its figure. Earn CLEARED, SWIFT, ENDURED — or drop into a Zen sky where nothing can kill you.
Pure light on pure black
No images. No audio files.
Every pixel is glow generated at runtime; every note is synthesized from a single pentatonic root. The void is silent; only spacetime sounds.
Android — closed beta
On Android, it’s still in closed testing.
Google won’t show you the game until you’re on the tester list. Three steps, once — about another week of this, then it’s a plain Play listing. On iPhone it’s already live on the App Store.

FAQ
A few straight answers.
How do I control the comet?
You don't — you place gravity. Hold to open a well; the comet responds to the field you create.
Is it free?
Yes. Supported by occasional ads after a run. A one-time Remove Ads purchase clears them. No pay-to-win.
Does it work offline?
Yes — once installed, play without a network.
iPhone and Android?
iPhone is live on the App Store. Android is in closed testing — the steps above get you in. You can also play free in your browser, no install.
Is there a calm mode?
Zen sky: no score, no death, no timer.
