Cosmic Lasso2.0.0

Draw a loop around two or more orbitals of the same color to catch them. Clear the sky, but don't leave one behind.

Cosmic Lasso is a calm color puzzle with a lo-fi soundtrack. It started in 2020 as a small game to help with relaxing during a turbulent time. Version 2.0 rebuilds it from the ground up with a new puzzle every day, a rope you can feel, and a game everyone can play.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
. Cosmic Daily: one puzzle a day, the same for everyone.
. Weekday twists like Monochrome Monday and Triad Tuesday.
. Keep a streak, share a spoiler-free emoji grid, and compare scores with friends.

WAYS TO PLAY
. 50 levels across five galaxies, each ending in a boss.
. Survival: the sky fills up faster the longer you last.
. Zen: no timer and no way to fail. Just you, a lasso and the music.
. Constellations: 30 untimed puzzles. Clear each one in as few loops as you can.
. Duel: a 60-second sprint.
. Tonight's Sky Rodeo: the real stars over your head become the level. The orbital colors match the colors of real stars.

FEELS GREAT
. The music sets the beat. Close your lasso on it for bonus points.
. Bigger loops and quick chains score more.
. Supernovas, black holes, prisms, comets and more.
. Haptics you can feel in the rope, and smooth 120 Hz drawing on ProMotion displays.

PLAY YOUR WAY
. Every orbital has a shape as well as a color, so you never have to tell colors apart.
. A color-blind friendly palette, a left-handed layout and Reduce Motion support.
. Assists: slow the orbitals down, add time, or turn failing off.
. Pause any time. The clock stops when you do.

AND MORE
. Game Center leaderboards and achievements.
. Widgets for the Daily and your streak, plus a Quick Lasso control.
. Progress syncs through iCloud.
. Build your own levels and share them with a link.
. Apple Pencil Pro and game controller support.

FREE AND FAIR
Cosmic Lasso is free, with no ads and no subscription. The original 50 levels stay free forever. Cosmic Lasso+ is a single purchase that unlocks the full Daily archive, extra lasso trails and extended stats. There's also a tip jar if you'd like to say thanks.

A NOTE FROM ME
Hi there! I taught myself iOS development in 2020 to make something calming, and Cosmic Lasso was the result. Back then I said I hoped to keep it updated with more levels, features and bug fixes. It took a while, but here it is. I hope it helps you relax.
