Starward: Orb Merge Puzzle
Space orb arcade combo puzzle
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Fling glowing orbs around a gravity well, merge nine celestial tiers, and chase a Supernova — without letting the well breach the horizon.
Drag around the launcher ring, release to fire, and collide matching orbs. Dust becomes Sparks, then Comets, Moons, Planets, Giants, Stars, Novas, and Quasars. Bring two Quasars together to trigger a Supernova.
PLACEMENT MATTERS
The well is not a passive container. Reusing one launch sector builds dangerous strain, crowded orbits get harder to control, and a careless shot can end the run. Cross-orbit merges score more and relieve pressure, so moving around the ring beats tapping from one safe spot.
BUILD MOMENTUM
Merges charge a timed Star Rush for double score. Starting a Rush banks an Orbit Shift — a limited rescue that repositions the pile without deleting any pieces. A three-orb lookahead queue and Swap make every launch a decision.
