Starlife

Starlife is an educational astrophysics puzzle for iPad and iPhone. You push clouds of gas with your fingers, condense them into stars, and balance a mass budget to solve short, science-grounded puzzles about how stars are born, live, and die. It's built with Flutter and the Flame engine, single-player, iPad-primary. The aesthetic is realism-leaning: naturalistic gas rendered by a signed-distance cel-shader, science-grounded stars with real reference analogs, and a calm, unhurried tone. Every number in the game traces back to actual astrophysics. Known science determines star mass, color, lifetime, the way it dies, and other physics outcomes.
