Stretching light to fit the gaps

You do not steer a ship here. You shape the path it travels on, dragging the mouse to change your wave's height and length so it threads through orbs and misses mines, asteroids, and dark matter.

It reads technical and feels natural after a level or two. The wave keeps flowing, so you are always adjusting a little early, a little late, then just right. Later planets add wormholes, particle accelerators, and the Space Squids of Venus, plus warped views and chases from the Singularity. Finishing a level is calm work. Collecting everything takes sharp, repeated runs.

A long trip from Pluto to the Sun

The journey runs from Pluto inward toward the Sun, across 11 worlds with dozens of strange objects that bend your route in new ways. Colorful art and retro music that shifts with the pace keep the trip lively.

There is room to play it your way. Take a relaxed ride through the 100+ levels, or push for bonuses and high scores. After the story there is New Game + with remastered levels, plus Deep Space Mode with 11 randomly generated endless runs built for leaderboard chasing.

Good to know before you ride the wave?

How do you control the wave?

With the mouse only. Vertical movement changes amplitude, horizontal movement changes wavelength, and diagonal moves combine them. Holding the mouse button shapes the wave while moving, which makes small corrections feel smooth once the habit clicks.

What are you actually trying to do in each level?

Guide a particle of light along your wave to gather light orbs and reach the end intact. Hazards like space mines, asteroids, and dark matter punish sloppy shaping, while objects like wormholes and particle accelerators reroute or speed things along. Some levels end with a flight from the Singularity.

How much is there to play?

Over 100 levels across 11 worlds, each world adding new objects or visual twists. New Game + reworks the levels in bonus-level style, and Deep Space Mode offers 11 endless, randomly generated scenarios for score chasing.

Can you play it relaxed?

Yes. Levels have layers of difficulty, so you can cruise through for the flow and the music or replay for bonuses and high scores. The calm path stays welcoming, while full completion turns precise and demanding.
