ArcadeSushi: With four galaxies and over 80 missions to explore, I’m still a wide eyed space cadet who’s still trying to earn his wings. I have no idea if I’ll resuscitate the universe’s dying light, but maybe something just as important needs saving. To quote the Bard of Avon, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars, but in ourselves…”
"If you are a fan of science fiction films, you’ll know one thing – if it involves the sun, you’re in for a bumpy ride. Superman IV saw the caped wonder’s worst enemy being born from the sun’s energy; Cillian Murphy fought crazy buggers on a mission to save the sun in Sunshine and Captain Kirk had to slingshot around the sun to save the entire universe in Star Trek the voyage home. And now it’s your turn. And this time it’s not going to be bumpy because we are all going to be Fonzy. And what’s Fonzy like? That’s right Hunny Bunny; Fonzy is cool. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Solar Flux HD." Says CalmDownTom
When it comes to games where collecting stars is the sign of success, Solar Flux HD has other games beaten in two aspects: One, its star system is far more clever than pretty much every other physics puzzler out there. Two, it actually involves saving stars. Like, the-sun-in-the-sky type stars.
Touch Arcade - Solar Flux HD [$3.99 (HD)] sends you off into space, alone on a mission to refuel the many stars of the galaxy. Over the course of 80 levels you go out, leaving the safety of your space station with a gentle slingshot, collect fuel (called flux), and shoot it into dying stars. You keep them from going nova, keep them from collapsing, keep them from burning out.
