Last Light

An idle game for iPhone and iPad

You are a self-replicating probe swarm sent to a dead solar system. Harvest matter, build more probes and consume the system, then launch a seed probe to the next star with a better blueprint. Nobody remembers who launched you, or why.

The swarm working a star system, with probes moving between orbits

The Atlas, the record of every system consumed so far

A system stripped to a ring of debris around a dying star

How it plays

Instead of filling the screen up, you take a solar system apart. The more you consume, the less of it is left.
Story fragments turn up as you play, and they change how you see what's on screen.
Everything is drawn in code: orbits, dust and light, with no sprites or imported art.

Launching and the Atlas

Prestige is launching. You send a seed probe onward with an improved blueprint, and choose which star it goes to.
Automation is the swarm becoming independent, and the story builds on that.
The Atlas records every system you consume, and there are records to chase with strategies you might not otherwise try.
