More about this game
Your goal is to complete a constellation by connecting its stars in the exact correct order. You must start at the glowing star and trace a continuous path to the next highlighted point. To keep the tracing fresh, the game randomly rotates the star patterns by a slight angle and scales them between 91% and 104% of their normal size. Once all points are connected, the run ends by revealing the constellation's name, its Latin meaning, and a set of real astronomical facts.
Tips
- You must start exactly on the glowing star with a 64-pixel hit radius, or the game will warn you to start on the glowing star.
- The tracing line has a 22 percent magnetic pull strength, so you do not need to be perfectly precise when dragging toward the next point.
- Some constellations have branched shapes, meaning the line will automatically break and start a new segment from a previous star when needed.
FAQ
- Are the constellations real?
- Yes, the game uses data from IAU constellation and star-name records. The star positions are cross-checked with Gaia DR3 and SIMBAD using ICRS coordinates.
- How many constellations are there?
- There are 12 different constellations to discover in the celestial archive, including Orion, Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, Cygnus, Lyra, Scorpius, Andromeda, Pegasus, Leo, Taurus, Gemini, and Canis Major.
- Can I see the constellations I have finished?
- Yes, tap the collection button to view the shapes and field notes for every constellation you have completed. Your discoveries are saved automatically to your device.
