About this game
Starlight Escape is a calm untangling puzzle set in the night sky. Every board is full of starlight beams, and each beam has an arrow that shows the one direction it can fly. Tap a beam and it shoots off the board, but only if nothing stands in its way. Find the right order, send every beam out and the night sky is clear.
You start each level with three stars and lose one whenever a beam crashes into another. Lose them all and the level starts over, so a moment of thought before each tap pays off. Boards come in many shapes and sizes, from small rectangles to hearts, rings and stars, up to huge boards 24 columns wide that you pinch to zoom and drag to explore. Huge boards give you five stars to start.
The levels never end. Every tenth level is a Challenge that rewards an item, and easier Breather levels come in between. Later you meet Starlight Storms packed with beams, Tangled Boards and Two-Star Challenges. Each clear earns points for how hard the board was and how many stars you kept, clearing levels in a row multiplies your points, and the leaderboard ranks total points for the week and all time.
Tips
- Start with beams near the edge whose arrows point outward, because they usually have a clear path.
- Before you tap, follow the arrow with your eyes all the way to the edge of the board.
- When a beam is blocked, find the beam in its way and free that one first.
- Keeping all three stars gives the most points, so slow down on tangled boards.
- On huge boards, zoom in on one corner and clear it before you move on.
- Save Shield and Continue for Challenge levels, where losing your streak hurts most.
FAQ
What happens when I run out of stars?
The level starts over on the same board. Continue lets you keep going with one star instead and also keeps your clear streak.
How are points calculated?
Harder boards give more points, keeping more stars multiplies them, Challenge levels count double, and clearing five or ten levels in a row adds a bonus. Hints and items that solve the board for you lower the points a little.
How do I get items?
Finishing the tutorial gives you five of each item, and clearing a Challenge level rewards one more. After that you can buy items with SPOT.
Does the game ever end?
No. The levels go on forever, and the boards keep getting bigger and trickier as you climb.
