Gameplay

The game

Precision under a dying sun

Umbra is a quiet, celestial timing game. A golden arc traces an orbit around the sun while stars drift in the dark. Your only input is a tap — but the window for perfection is razor thin.

Nail the eclipse and the run continues. Miss it, and the sun returns — your score frozen until you try again.

Core mechanic

Tap at total eclipse.
Nothing else matters.

An arc sweeps around the sun on a fixed orbit. When it crosses the eclipse — the narrow band of total alignment — you tap. Perfect hits stack multipliers. Great hits keep you going. A miss ends the run.
