How to Play Pijar Galaksi
Touch, mouse, and keyboard controls, basic rules, powers, and obstacles across 500 levels.
Story
Hungry black holes are swallowing the galaxy’s light. Oku, a little owl in a glass pod, shoots light orbs to break the orb chains before everything is swallowed. Save 20 galaxies and 500 levels!
Controls
| Action | Touchscreen | Mouse | Keyboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aim | Touch & drag on screen | Move the cursor | ← → (hold Shift for fine aim) |
| Shoot | Lift your finger | Left click | ↑ / Enter |
| Swap orb | Tap Oku or the swap button | Right click / click Oku | Space / S |
| Pause | Pause button | Pause button | P / Esc |
On phones, aiming starts when your finger touches the screen and the shot fires only when you lift it, so you can adjust calmly before shooting. The aim line can be turned off in Settings.
Basic rules
- Shoot orbs into the chain. When an orb touches a same-colour group of 3 or more, the group pops.
- After a pop, both ends of the chain pull together. If the colours at the ends match, a chain combo multiplies your score.
- Destroy every orb before the front of the chain reaches the black hole.
Each colour has its own symbol (triangle, star, leaf, drop, moon, square, ring), so orbs stay easy to tell apart even for colour-blind players.
Powers
- Nova Bomb: blasts nearby orbs.
- Time Slow: the chain crawls for a few seconds.
- Reverse: the chain rolls back briefly.
- Star Bolt: zaps orbs of the same colour.
- Rainbow Orb: your next shot matches any colour.
- Laser Aim: a precise aim line and faster shots.
Obstacles
- Meteor stones (from level 30) only break when an orb next to them pops.
- Frozen orbs (from level 55) must pop twice; the first pop only cracks the ice.
- Orbiting asteroids (from level 80) block shots.
- Nebula clouds (from level 130) hide part of the track, so orbs inside can’t be hit.
- Twin chains appear on some levels.
Example: read two colors at once
Inspect Oku’s current orb and the next one before shooting. If the current color has no clear group, swap instead of inserting it near the chain head without a plan. Around bends, check whether another part of the chain crosses your aiming line: a nearby target does not always have a clear shot.
When a level feels crowded
Split your attention between protecting the chain head and choosing one group to clear. After that shot succeeds, choose the next target. The 500 levels are not one identical pattern. Learn the current track shape and the places where sections block each other.
