About Starward: Orb Merge Puzzle
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. WHAT'S INSIDE • Endless runs you can pause and resume • A ranked Daily with a mission, leaderboard, and streak — every player gets the same board • Reach Nova and Reach Quasar goal modes • Gravity Well, Twin Suns, and Pulsar arenas, each with its own physics • A nine-tier Star Atlas, achievements, and arena mastery • Flight School tutorial, replayable How to Play, and a clear reason every time a run ends • Sound, haptics, and result sharing • No ads, ever FREE AND PRO The ranked Daily is always free for everyone. Free players also get three casual runs a day, and those runs can use any mode or arena — Endless, both goal modes, and all three arenas — with the full Star Atlas, achievements, and the standard orb palettes included. GO PRO Unlimited casual runs with no daily cap (Pro), the premium Nebula, Prism, and Obsidian orb palettes (Pro), and a cumulative prestige rank on your menu (Pro). Unlock Starward with a one-time purchase, or take the StackForge Play Pass subscription to unlock Pro in every StackForge game, plus One Good Thing.
