Celestial Front

Celestial Front is a galaxy simulation in which stars from different factions battle automatically for control. You watch the battlefield as stars connected by lanes fight neighboring stars and change ownership.

Factions and combat

Each star belongs to a faction, shown by its color. Combat between neighboring stars happens automatically, with random outcomes in Default mode. In Momentum mode, larger factions have an advantage. When a star is conquered, it takes on the conquering faction’s color.

Modes and maps

Cut Off mode gives stars to the faction that cuts them off when they become disconnected from their color’s parent star. You can switch between Default, Momentum and Cut Off modes. The game has four map types: Circle, Spiral, Grid and Web.

Adjust the simulation

You can speed up combat with F, slow it down with S, or pause it with P. Number keys 1–9 reset the game and change the number of star connections. Press R, A, G or W to select the Circle, Spiral, Grid or Web map; pressing the keys multiple times toggles between Momentum and Cut Off modes.
