Starward

Fling orbs into the well. Merge the cosmos. Hold back the horizon.

Starward is a gravity-well orb-merge arcade puzzle. Move around the launcher ring, fling glowing orbs, and merge nine celestial tiers from Dust to Quasar before the well breaches the horizon. Cross-orbit merges relieve pressure, merges charge a double-score Star Rush, and every Rush banks an Orbit Shift that can rescue a crowded run.

Three clear parts

Easy to read. Worth returning to.

Merge up the cosmos

Matching orbs merge into the next tier — nine steps from DUST to QUASAR. The well is your board; placement and timing are everything.

Move around the ring

Repeating one launch sector builds strain. Cross-orbit merges score more and relieve pressure, so the safest-looking shot is not always the smartest one.

Detonate a supernova

Merge two QUASARs and the whole well detonates for a thousand times your chain. It's the swing every high score is chasing.

Earn your rescue

Merges charge a timed double-score Star Rush. Trigger one to bank an Orbit Shift, then reposition the whole pile when the horizon gets crowded.

Why it exists

Built for a reason.

Starward makes merging feel alive: gravity, pressure, Star Rush, and a Supernova payoff turn a calm puzzle into a high-score chase with a real ceiling.

For players who

Know what they like.

Arcade and merge-puzzle players who want satisfying cascades, a rising skill ceiling, and one spectacular swing per run.

The loop

One more run.

Move around the ring → read the next three orbs → fire → merge across the well → bank an Orbit Shift → chase the Supernova.
