No score and no way to lose. Fill a fluid sky with stars and black holes, and see what gravity does with them.

About

Aether is a fluid simulation with a million particles. Stir it with your finger or the mouse, and place stars, nebulae and black holes in it. Gravity, light and colour come from the physics.

Everything you do makes a sound. Things you discover go into a journal, and Bedtime plays a slow night that keeps going when your screen is locked.
