Starlight is a game of puzzling celestial perspective -Time Waster

Filed under: , ,

When it comes to Time Wasters, my favorites are non-stressful puzzlers. Something to make my brain work up a sweat, but not so much so that it's going to have me swearing a blue streak.

Starlight is exactly that kind of diversion. Here's how it works: you're presented a field of stars and connecting lines. Move your mouse around the play area and the field rotates - when you do it just right, you'll wind up with a constellation-like image.

The challenges range from something as simple as a bird to more complex images like the Eiffel Tower. Sometimes you'll quickly happen upon the solution. Other times, not so much. You'll be slowly panning around with your mouse wondering just what you're supposed to be seeing.

Apart from the casual 'relax' mode, there are two timed modes if you want to challenge yourself. In case you're wondering, I'm not aware that this constellation actually occurs anywhere in the night sky.

D'oh!
