      MP3 or WAV · playable in a few seconds

      Only add music you own or have permission to use. Songs you add stay in this browser on this device: they aren't uploaded, other players can't see them, and their scores aren't posted to the Sky Wall.

      Sky atlas

      Each song draws a real constellation, one star per phrase. Your best sky for each song is kept here: catch every haloed note in a phrase to turn its star gold, and turn them all gold for a perfect sky.

      The story so far

      Each song is a chapter. A chapter opens when you first play its song, and it ends when you finish it.

        Achievements

          Observatory

          Missions

          Missions carry over from song to song. Finish one for stardust, and a new one takes its place.

            Orbs

            Spend stardust on a new light. Every song you play earns stardust; finishing missions earns more.

            Sound

            Feel

            A light buzz when you catch a note, a stronger one for gold, combos, reds and the Supernova.

            Comfort

            Softens screen flashes and turns off screen shake and camera zoom. It also switches on automatically if your device asks for reduced motion.

            Makes the score display, menus, story and tips easier to read.

            Start over

            Reset scores clears your best scores, grades, stars, skies and score history, and keeps your unlocked songs, orbs and stardust. Reset everything returns the game to how it was on your first visit: songs locked again, story unread, and stardust, rank, missions, orbs and achievements gone. Neither can be undone.

            About the composer - Dave Greening

            Starstruck album cover: a pianist at a grand piano beneath planets and a field of stars

            New age, emotional and inspiring piano music.

            Dave Greening is a composer and pianist based in California. His solo piano pieces move between quiet reflection and wide, cinematic swells, which is exactly the range this game turns into light. He has been releasing music since Pensive Moments in 2012, and Starstruck, the album you play here, gathers pieces like Dancing Raindrops, Warm Moments and Quantum Leaps.
