Help with Afterglow

Most questions are answered below. The game has one control, no account, and nothing to configure, so there is not much that can go wrong.

Playing

How do I fly?

Hold anywhere on the screen to rise. Release to dive. That is the whole control. Short holds give small lifts; longer holds carry you higher.

Why did my flight end at the top of the screen?

The sky has two edges. Below is ash, above is flare. Holding against the top builds heat for a moment and then the light burns out. Release before the haze at the top turns bright.

What are the lines in the sky?

Every flight you finish stays behind as a ribbon of light. Newer runs fly through older ones. Fly close to a past ribbon and it answers: your multiplier climbs from ×2 to ×8 and each pass strikes a chord.

Why does a ribbon turn red?

A ribbon ends where that flight ended. Its last stretch burns red so you know the path you are following is about to run out. Break away before the red.

What is the gold line?

Your best flight so far. Follow it to see how far you have been; beat it and the gold moves.

What is tonight's sky?

Each night has a name and its own wind. The currents change the way the sky flies, so a route that worked yesterday may need a different touch tonight.

How do I earn new palettes?

Palettes unlock with the light you gather across all your flights. The palette screen shows what comes next. Every ribbon keeps the color it was flown in, so an old sky is a record of when you flew it.

What is the Skyloom?

Your whole sky on one dial: every flight, its distance, and its height. Tap Share your sky to send it as an image using your phone's normal share sheet.

Your sky and your device

Where is my sky saved?

On your device only. Afterglow has no account and no cloud. Your phone's own backup may include it, like any other app's data.

Can I start over?

Yes. Open settings and choose Reset weave. This clears every ribbon and cannot be undone.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The game never needs a connection and never contacts a server.

Are there ads or purchases?

No. There is nothing to buy and nothing to watch.

What if I move to a new phone?

Your sky moves only if your phone-to-phone transfer or backup restores app data. There is no separate export yet.
