Roche Limit

About Roche Limit

You are gravity.

Press and hold anywhere and a singularity tears open under your finger, pulling a comet into orbit. Feather the hold for a slingshot. Linger, and the event horizon swells until the comet shreds at the Roche limit — under your own finger. You never steer the comet. You bend the space it moves through. The antagonist is your own greed for pull.

A minimalist space arcade game built on real orbital physics, played with one thumb.

BEND, DON'T STEER • One thumb: hold to open a gravity well, release to let it decay. • Up to three wells at once — two-finger orbital weaving is the high skill ceiling. • A control scheme you understand in three seconds and chase for weeks. • One-handed, portrait, and fully offline — no account, no sign-up, no waiting.

FEED, THEN CRUSH • Curve the comet through cyan energy cores to score. • Each core feeds the comet's mass toward a gold crush threshold. • Go crush-ready and the red anti-matter stars that used to kill you shatter for bonus. The hazard becomes the reward.

A SKY TO CLIMB • A night-sky map of 40 real constellations across 10 galaxy worlds — one continuous sky you pinch, pan, and fling; zoom toward a galaxy and its skies open in place. • Clear a sky two ways: hit its core target, or TRACE THE FIGURE — brush every landmark star in one life, each a rising pentatonic note. • Three mastery stars per sky: CLEARED, SWIFT (under par), ENDURED (survive to the peak).

EVERY GALAXY PERFORMS • Past the first world, each galaxy carries a phenomenon of its own — nine across the ladder. • A breathing star, a binary pair, a river of dust, Einstein gates that keep your entry angle. • A wandering heavyweight, cores that fall like snow, telegraphed meteor trains, a nova. • And a merging pair in the last world whose ripple shoves everything outward. • Each one introduces itself the first time you meet it, then never explains again.

THE SKY ABOVE YOU • True Sky builds tonight's actual heavens from your coarse location (or just the clock) — the constellations overhead right now, the Moon, the planets — and lets you fly them. • Real astronomy, not decoration: real star names, real positions, a stargazing map you can actually play. • Figures wake and reveal their names as the comet nears.

OR JUST BREATHE • Zen sky: your real sky, hazard-free. No score, no death, no timer. • A relaxing, calm way to end the day — just the stars and the notes they play.

PURE LIGHT ON PURE BLACK • True-black AMOLED. Every element is procedural glow — zero image assets. • Every sound is synthesized from one pentatonic root — zero audio assets. Tiny install, kind to your battery, gorgeous on OLED. • Runs escalate over two minutes: meditative open, knife-fight finish.

Die once in a run and an optional short ad revives you in place, keeping your score — or decline it, and the run ends exactly as it would have.

Free to play, with an occasional ad between runs — a one-time Remove Ads purchase clears them, and grants the revive free, every run. No pay-to-win. Just you, the pull, and the discipline to let go.

• ↗You are gravity. Slingshot a comet — but the pull that saves it can shatter it.
