Controls

iPhone and iPad
Swipe to steer, tap to stop. Swipe again the way you are going to dash. Hold the screen to focus (slows enemies) once Focus has unlocked. A game controller works too: the stick or d-pad steers, A stops.
Mac
Arrow keys or WASD steer, space stops, shift focuses, return finishes a cleared level, esc pauses. Pressing the key of the direction you are already moving dashes.
Apple TV
On the Siri Remote the arrows (or swipes on the touch surface) steer, click stops, hold the click to focus, Play/Pause pauses, and Menu pauses or goes back. Game controllers work the same way.
Android
Swipe to steer, tap to stop; hold to focus. Phones play in portrait, tablets in landscape. A keyboard works while a level runs (arrows or WASD, space, shift, enter, esc), and the system back gesture pauses.
Windows
Keyboard: arrows or WASD steer (a second press the way you are going dashes), space stops, shift held focuses, enter finishes a cleared level, esc or P pauses. Mouse: drag on the field to steer, click to stop, hold still or hold the right button to focus. Game controller (Xbox and most others): the pad or left stick steers, A stops, a shoulder or trigger focuses, Y finishes, B or Start pauses. F11 or Alt+Enter switches full screen; F12 saves a screenshot to Pictures › Glowfield.

Together: two players on one screen

How do two people play?
The title's Together button picks a mode (Two Sparks, Claim War or the Hunt), who steers the second spark (a friend or the Bot) and a picture from the levels you have open. On a phone or tablet the left half of the screen is Player 1's and the right half Player 2's, one finger each. On a keyboard WASD, space and left shift are Player 1's; the arrows, right shift and right option (alt) Player 2's. One game controller is Player 2's; two controllers, one each. On Apple TV the Siri Remote is Player 1's and a controller Player 2's.
Is Together in the free part?
Yes, on the levels you have open: the Seedling world free, every world with the Full Game.

Purchases

What is free?
The whole Seedling world (levels 1-1 to 1-7) and the first three stages of Infinity. Nothing is timed and there are no ads.
What does Full Game open?
Tide, Ember, Aurora and Cosmos (24 more levels) and Infinity without end. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
I bought it on my iPhone. Is it on my iPad, Mac and Apple TV too?
Yes: one purchase covers every Apple device signed in with the same Apple Account, and it is shared with your Family Sharing group. Open Settings → Full game → Restore purchase on the other device if it does not show at once. The Android version is a separate purchase on Google Play.
Restore does not find my purchase
Make sure the device is signed in to the App Store or Google Play with the account that bought it, then try Restore again with a network connection. If it still fails, write to us with the store and the date of the purchase.

Settings

The game stutters or the device runs warm
Settings → Graphics chooses how many points of light are drawn: Ultra draws one for every pixel, High one for every 2 × 2 pixels, Medium 3 × 3, Low 4 × 4. Lower it one step at a time.
Music, sound effects and haptics
Each has its own switch in Settings → Sound. On Windows the haptics are a controller's rumble (Settings → Controller rumble).
Can I start over?
Progress lives only on the device, so deleting and reinstalling the app starts it over. Purchases are never lost; Restore purchase brings them back. On Windows the save is %APPDATA%\Glowfield\save.json.
