About
Astra Ignota is a minimalist puzzle game set aboard a sentient spaceship adrift between stars.
You must grow symmetrical galaxies from their cores outward, fill the entire board, and solve 60 rewarding, handcrafted puzzles, all while uncovering a mysterious sci-fi story told through brief narrative episodes.
The original idea comes from the game Tentai Show (also known as Galaxy), by the Japanese puzzle magazine Nicoli, creators of the Sudoku.
The game features multiple grid types, simple gameplay, and multiple tools that get unlocked as the story progresses. And no time pressure. It's about patience, observation, and discovery.
After a year in Early Access gathering feedback and polishing the experience, Astra Ignota is now ready for its full release.

Looks like an amazing project. Wish I were less of a slow brain to enjoy it after the first chapter.
It's a puzzle game like Tangram. It's funny but the last few level near 60 is just torment... 類似七巧板,俄羅斯方塊的砌圖遊戲 由初頭有手就行到最尾折磨般的難度...我想說我已經燃盡了
Cool puzzle game where you have to fill out the empty space. It starts easy and explains how it works.
Интересная головоломка , по началу кажется легкой но потом все сложнее и сложнее особенно эти уровни 49 59. Желаю удачи в прохождении
