Nebula Painter
Memorize the numbered star-map order, then tap glowing anchors to trace constellation lines across the nebula.
Each level reveals a mini MEMORY panel showing a constellation like Cassiopeia, Orion, or Lyra with numbered stars. After the panel fades, tap the star anchors in the exact memorized order to paint glowing lines across the nebula. Complete all 50 levels across five phases, from single-star patterns to grandmaster constellation artwork.

About Nebula Painter
Nebula Painter is a constellation memory puzzle built on SpriteKit. Each of the 50 levels selects a real constellation chart — including Cassiopeia, Orion, Lyra, Pegasus, Hercules, Sagittarius, and 44 more — and shows a numbered mini star-map in the MEMORY panel for three seconds. When the panel fades, you must tap the glowing star anchors in the exact order shown. A correct step lights the anchor in cyan and draws a glowing line; a wrong step is marked in red during the review replay.
Levels are grouped into five phases. Phase 1 (L1–L10) uses 3–8 anchors on single-star patterns. Phase 2 (L11–L20) introduces binary-star concepts with up to 9 anchors. Phase 3 (L21–L30) adds dense nebula navigation with up to 10 anchors. Phase 4 (L31–L40) layers time-dilation mechanics with up to 10 anchors. Phase 5 (L41–L50) is the grandmaster challenge, culminating in a 15-anchor final artwork.
Star ratings reward efficient play: three stars for completing the order with no mistakes, two stars for one retry, one star for finishing. Progress and star ratings are saved locally on your device, so you can play fully offline at your own pace.
How to Play
1. Memorize
When a level starts, a MEMORY panel appears in the corner showing the constellation star-map with numbered anchors. Study the order for three seconds before the panel fades.
2. Tap in Order
Tap the glowing star anchors on the main nebula in the exact order shown. Each tap draws a glowing line from the previous anchor and places a numbered badge.
3. Review
After the final tap, the game replays your path. Correct steps glow cyan; wrong steps are marked red. Match the full memory order to clear the level.
4. Earn Stars
Complete the order with no mistakes for three stars. Retry once for two stars. Finish on a later attempt for one star. Unlock the next level by clearing the current one.
5. Explore 50 Levels
Progress through five phases: single-star patterns, binary-star concepts, nebula density zones, time dilation, and grandmaster constellation artwork up to 15 anchors.
6. Pause Anytime
Tap the pause button to open a panel with Resume, Restart, and Menu options. Your progress is saved locally, so you can stop and continue later offline.
