Apsis is out on Google Play

Apsis is now live on Google Play. It is the quietest of the three, and the one that rewards looking longest before you tap.

What Apsis is

Arrows rest on faint orbits around a glowing sun, each one pointing some way. Tap an arrow and it flies straight the way it points. If nothing is in its path, it leaves the system for good. If another arrow or the sun is in the way, it springs back and you lose a heart. Clear every arrow to finish the level.

The circle is what makes it different. Straight paths cut across curved orbits, so which arrow is in whose way has to be read, not counted along a row.

What’s in it

• Every level built backwards from a solution, and none is easier than the one before.
• Chapters that each add a new rule: locks, ghosts, two suns, wormholes, mirrors and more.
• Three stars for a run without a miss, and three hearts before a retry.
• A hint that lights an arrow with a clear way out and draws its path.
• Colour themes and skies, each in light and dark. The Aurora sky and the Sepia colours come free.
• No timers, no energy, no pressure.
• Every win makes a card you can share or save, and it plays fully offline.

The Sky pack adds five more skies: red giant, eclipse, deep sea, nebula and Mars. You can try it for a few hours before you buy it.

Where to start

The first level is three arrows round the sun, and the guide shows you the first tap. Every arrow wants out walks through the rules, Habits that save hearts has the ways to read a sky, and What is an apsis? is the astronomy behind the name.

Free to play

Apsis is free. Once you have solved a few levels, a small banner sits below the sky, never over it. The first 15 levels have unlimited hints, and after that you get 3 free hints a day. The Supporter pack turns the ads off for good and makes every hint free.

Tell me what you think

If Apsis gave you a quiet minute, a rating on Google Play helps other players find it. Found a bug, or a sky that feels off? The support page is the quickest way to tell me.
