MOONFLICK

What you do

One verb, repeated: pick a body, flick it, and let gravity resolve the consequences.

1. Pick a world

   Fly through the system while time runs fast-forward and the orbits visibly evolve, or hand the camera to the cinematic director and let it find the shot. Click any body you're allowed to touch to lock on.

2. Aim the flick

   Your hand closes around the locked world. Pull back to charge, read the trajectory preview, and release. The same flick nudges a star imperceptibly and hurls a moon clean across the system.

3. Let gravity resolve

   Every body pulls on every other, deterministically. Two worlds that meet gently merge. A hard glancing hit shatters the smaller one into hot rubble that cools, settles, and sometimes rains down on its neighbours.

Play billiards with planets

Cosmic Billiards is the campaign: 60 authored levels across 13 chapters, each a small system with an objective sheet and no shot limit. Every puzzle is authored, every solution earned, and when three bodies conspire to do something nobody predicted, that's not a bug. That's the three-body problem. It's famous.

• Merge, split, sink — pocket a rock into a black hole, feed a hungry star its rogue, or crack a gas giant into a spray of fragments and keep only the pieces you need.
• Orbits are objects — later chapters ask for a shape, not a body count: park a world in a resonance, thread a gate, hold a formation, build a shepherd's fence.
• The Long Throw — escape one star system, coast across the dark, and get captured into a stable orbit around another.
• The Hard Rain — aim one cause and read many effects. Skim a moon, start a chain reaction that shatters a whole system, and keep the one world that has to survive out of the rain.
• Records — every level counts your impulses. Fewest wins, per difficulty tier, with Steam achievements and per-level leaderboards.

And there's more

Three more ways to play with an entire solar system. Same physics, same hands, very different jobs.

Cosmic Survival

Start as a mote of matter and eat your way up. Every tap of thrust costs mass, every smaller body you touch is lunch, and anything larger is trying to eat you back. Win, and you're no longer in the solar system. You are the solar system.

Cosmic Evolution in development

A roguelite lifecycle. Begin as a microbe in a pool, scan for what's smaller than you, harvest minerals, and grow organs through the evolution web. Launch off your planet, leave your home system, and end as a black hole of your own making. Seeded runs, a genome archive, and a death card that tells you exactly what got you.

Idle Universe

Stop playing and just watch. A living orrery where an autonomous civilization grows from steam and steel to satellites, probes, asteroid mines, and a Dyson swarm, then launches an ark for another star. Follow a craft, pick the song, or arm the flick and change their fate.

Under the hood

• Your own hands — the camera is your eyes and a pair of hands reaches into the system to cup, push, and flick. Lock on and a hand closes around the world; strike and it lets go.
• A broadcast director — press C and the camera directs itself like a live sports feed: it scores what's interesting, frames it, holds the shot, and cuts when something better happens. Your input keeps working the whole time.
• Real N-body physics, tuned for play — every body pulls on every other, every collision is resolved into a merge, a deflection, or a split, and the result is deterministic. Replays are exact: the same inputs produce the same universe.
• Generated, not loaded — worlds, debris, effects, and the adaptive soundtrack are all synthesized in code; the few 3D characters are baked into the executable. Nothing streams in loose from disk.
• Play it your way — keyboard and mouse, gamepad, or touch. Adjustable difficulty, and the physics stays honest at every tier. Accessibility options throughout: subtitles, colour alternatives, contrast and text-size controls, keyboard-only or mouse-only play, adjustable pacing, and camera-comfort settings.
