How do I control the comet in Roche Limit?

You don't — you place gravity. Press and hold to open a well; the comet responds to the field you create.

Is there a relaxing mode?

Yes — Zen sky: no score, no death, no timer. A calm space to drift through real constellations.

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.
