Your slash stays in the air and cuts whatever flies into it. Shield the moon from comets, and spare the fireflies.
How to play
- Comets fly in from every side toward the moon. Drag to tear the sky in their path.
- A tear stays open for about 2 seconds and cuts anything that flies into it.
- Fireflies get cut too, and each one costs a life. Keep your tears away from them.
- A comet that flies into an older tear is a trap and scores double.
- Comet showers send three down one lane: cut 3 with one tear for a slow-motion bonus.
- Hold out until dawn: each night ends in a bonus, and every second dawn gives a moon back.
- Armoured comets need two cuts from two different tears.
- Ghost comets slip through fresh slashes. Only a tear that was already open can cut them.
- From night 6: Swervers weave (follow their dots), Twins come tied together (one long tear across both), and Sealers sew shut the tear that cuts them.
- After night 8, every night bends one rule: faster comets, a firefly swarm, short tears, showers, only two tears, or no path dots.
- Today's sky: the same five nights for everyone, one scored try a day. Keep your streak and share your sky.
- This week: one twist all week long. Earn three stars for the week's badge.
- Play to unlock new tear colours, moons and sleepy guests that curl up on the moon.
- Every run fills the moon level with starlight, and three missions at a time pay extra.
- Clear nights and gain levels to collect the Moon's Dreams: 24 little pictures, in an album.
- No mouse or touch? Press Space to auto-slash the nearest comet.
FAQ
Why does my slash stay on screen?
That is the game. A tear stays open for about 2 seconds, so you can cut ahead of a comet and let it fly in. These planned cuts score double.
How do I get a triple cut?
Watch for the comet shower warning. Three comets come down one lane, so one tear across that lane can catch them all.
Does Tear the Sky have levels?
It has nights instead. Each one brings a new sky and, early on, a new kind of comet. Runs keep going for as long as you can protect the moon.
What is Today's sky?
A new sky every day at 00:00 UTC, with the same comets at the same moments for every player. You get one scored try, then practise as much as you like. Finish it to keep your streak.
What is the poster?
Every tear that cut a comet leaves a gold scar. At the end of a run, "Your sky" turns them into a constellation around your moon that you can save or share.
