About Aurora Hunt
Aurora Hunt is a calm, 75-second arcade game set under the northern lights. Five coloured aurora ribbons wave across the night sky; your job is to keep your glowing marker inside them and sweep up star clusters as they appear.
How to play Aurora Hunt
- Press Look up to start the 75-second timer.
- Move your mouse over the sky, or drag a finger on a phone or tablet. The ring follows your pointer.
- Keep the ring inside any aurora ribbon. When it is inside the light it grows and glows brighter, and your score rises continuously.
- Touch a star cluster to collect it. Each star shows its value above it, and a new one appears somewhere else right away.
- When the timer bar at the bottom runs out, dawn arrives and your score is compared with your best.
Scoring
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Staying inside an aurora ribbon | +1 per frame (about 60 per second) |
| Star cluster (value shown above each star) | +15, +25 or +35 |
Tips for a higher score
- Ribbon points add up faster than you might expect: a full second inside the light is worth more than the most valuable star. Treat stars as a bonus on the way, not the main goal.
- The ribbons drift at different speeds. Pick one that moves slowly across the area where stars are gathering and ride it.
- The lower ribbons overlap most often. Hovering where two ribbons cross keeps you inside the light even when one of them moves away.
- On a phone, hold the device in landscape and use your thumb — you will cover the width of the sky with less effort.
