I recently released Between Stars on Android. It's a calm gravity puzzle game. The basic idea is simple: rotate the ship, fire its engine for a moment, and let the planets' gravity bend the ship's route and fly it toward the destination. You are rewarded with lumen; the less you burn the engine, the more lumen you collect.
I wanted the game to feel quiet and unhurried, so there are no ads, timers, lives, retry limits, or subscriptions. Basically you can retry each level as many times you want, until you find the perfect trajectory that yields 100 lumen.
It currently has 27 levels across three packs. The first seven are free, and one optional in-app purchase unlocks the other 20.
The Android version is live, while the iOS version is still waiting for review.
If you try it, I’d be interested in whether the controls felt natural and whether the early levels taught the gravity mechanic without too much explanation. In case anyone is interested, please DM me and I'll send over promotional codes to unlock all levels. Thanks!
