How does the daily work?

Every day, everyone in the world flies the same sector: the same name, suns, planets, nebula, asteroid fields and waves, and some days a black hole. Tap Today's Sector on the title screen to fly it.

Your first run of the day scores. It locks in the moment you launch, even if you quit partway. After that, fly it again as often as you like for practice. For a new sector every run, tap Random Sector; it comes with the Pilot's License.

When does the daily sector reset?

At midnight UTC, for everyone at once. That's 5:00 PM Pacific (8:00 PM Eastern) during daylight saving time, and 4:00 PM Pacific (7:00 PM Eastern) the rest of the year.

The next sector arrives in a few hours.

How do I share my daily result?

When a daily run ends, tap Share. You get a result line with your score, level, best chain and one square per level: 🟦 a clean level, 🟨 lost a part, 🟥 ejected or lost a life, 💥 where the run ended. It goes wherever you send it, and nowhere else.

Why isn't my score on the global leaderboard?

Global leaderboards are free in version 1.2 and later. You just need to be signed in to Game Center, in your device's Settings under Game Center. Every run posts to the all-time board, and your scored daily run to today's board as well. Without Game Center, the game keeps your scores on your device.

What does the Pilot's License add?

The Pilot's License is a one-time $4.99 in-app purchase (U.S. price; the App Store shows yours). It adds random sectors, a new sector every run, and paint schemes for your ship. The game itself is free without it, including today's sector and the global leaderboards. No subscription, and it never expires.

I played before version 1.2. Do I need the license for random sectors?

No. If you played Lunatic Fling before version 1.2, random sectors stay free for you, with no purchase needed. The game knows from your play history on the device, or from the App Store's record of when your Apple Account first downloaded it.

How do I restore the Pilot's License on a new device or after reinstalling?

Open Settings in Lunatic Fling (or the Pilot's License screen) and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure the device is signed in to the same Apple Account you bought it with, in the device's Settings under your name, then Media & Purchases.

Can I get a refund?

Apple handles all payments and refunds. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We never see your payment details, so we can't issue refunds directly.

Touch: stick or buttons

Stick (the default): put your left thumb down anywhere in the lower left and a stick appears. Push to point the ship; push past halfway to fire the engine. Thrust is all or nothing: steer with short burns. On the right: Fire (hold to charge), Shield and Boost. You fly one weapon at a time: the last one you pick up is the one you fire.

Buttons: prefer discrete controls? Choose Settings, then Touch Controls, then Buttons for separate turn-left and turn-right buttons, plus Thrust, Fire, Shield and Boost.

Game controller

Xbox, PlayStation and MFi controllers work once they're paired with your device in Settings under Bluetooth.

Keyboard

A hardware keyboard works too, great on iPad. On the Mac, it's how you fly.

On the Mac, Shift also shields, Caps Lock also pauses and M turns the music on and off. The menu bar has Play (⌘N), Today's Sector (⇧⌘N), Pause (⌘P) and Settings (⌘,). Play full screen with ⌃⌘F, or in a window of any shape.

Where are the sound settings?

In Settings on the title screen (or from the pause menu): turn Music and Effects on or off separately. If your own music or podcast is already playing, the game's music stays quiet and only its sound effects join in.

I don't hear anything

Check that Music and Effects are on in the game's Settings and that your device's volume is up. The game respects your device's Silent Mode, so it stays quiet while Silent Mode is on; turn Silent Mode off to hear it.

Can I turn off vibration or shake?

Yes. Haptics can be turned off, and Screen Shake can be set to Full, Low or Off, both in Settings. If Reduce Motion is on for your device, the game already skips the shake and softens flashes.

How do I see the tips again?

Each tip shows once, the first time it's useful. To bring them all back, open Help, go to the More tab and tap Show Tips Again.

What does the game collect?

Nothing. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Settings and scores stay on your device. The details are in our Privacy Policy.
