"Endless forms most beautiful." — Charles Darwin
Every level hides a picture made of light. Swipe to steer, tap to stop, and close a trail across the dark to claim it. Each piece you take lights up: a seed, a jellyfish, a hummingbird, a snowy owl, a galaxy. Claim enough and the whole picture glows.
A QUIET ARCADE GAME
Glowfield is a territory game in the spirit of the classics: your spark runs along the edge of the dark, cuts a trail through it and closes the loop. Anything that touches your trail breaks it, so every cut is a small bet. Short levels, instant retry, three stars to earn in each.
FIVE WORLDS, THIRTY-ONE PICTURES
• Seedling: a seed of light learns to grow, from seed to fruit
• Tide: jellyfish, nautilus, seahorse, koi, lotus and a silk ray in the deep
• Ember: a neuron, a hummingbird, a sunflower, a butterfly and a phoenix
• Aurora: snowflakes, the tree of life, a dandelion, a crystal rose and a snowy owl
• Cosmos: a spiral galaxy, a ringed world, a nebula, a moon cat and the big bang
Between levels the light of one picture flows into the next. Every picture you finish goes into your gallery.
POWERS AND ENEMIES, ONE AT A TIME
Dash along your trail. Snare an enemy in a pocket of light. Raise a shield, pick up seeds of light for extra time and a freeze, set off a nova, hold to focus and slow the world. Each power arrives when you are ready for it, and so does each new enemy: drifters, seekers that bend toward your trail, crawlers on the shore, giants that cannot be snared and dashers that charge.
INFINITY
When Seedling is done, Infinity opens: endless stages of rising difficulty, each with a newly painted picture, with lives that carry over. How far can the light go? Your ten best runs are kept in the hi-scores.
TOGETHER, ON ONE SCREEN
Two players share one device. Two Sparks light a picture side by side; a Claim War colours it in two tints and the most light wins; in the Hunt one of you claims while the other steers the dark, then you swap. A friend takes the second spark, or the Bot does. On iPhone and iPad each half of the screen is a player's; on a Mac the keyboard is shared, or each takes a game controller.
MADE OF LIGHT
Every picture is drawn as hundreds of thousands of glowing points on a dark field, with bloom and a soft grain, so the game looks like a photograph of something alive. Sound effects are played in the key of the music. Choose the level of detail in Settings if your device prefers a lighter load.
FREE TO TRY, ONE PURCHASE
The Seedling world and the first stages of Infinity are free (while we try out where the offer works best, some new players get the first two levels of Tide free too). One purchase opens the rest: Tide, Ember, Aurora and Cosmos and Infinity without end, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, and it is shared with your family. No ads, no account, no subscription and no tracking; the anonymous play statistics can be turned off in Settings.
PLAYS EVERYWHERE
Touch on iPhone and iPad, keyboard or trackpad on Mac, the Siri Remote or a game controller on Apple TV.
