Terms of service

Last updated: November 4, 2026

These terms cover the Set the Stars game for iPhone, iPad and Android, and in your browser. By playing the game, you agree to them.

Who we are

Set the Stars is made by Joshua Makes (“we” and “us” on this page). To ask anything about these terms, write to info@joshuamakes.ca.

The game

The game is free to download and play, and there is no account to make. The free game shows ads from Google between puzzles, never during one. They are family-friendly (rated G) and never chosen from what anyone knows about you. You get one free hint a day, and after that a short video gives you another.

The free sample at setthestars.com/play has the tutorial, today’s puzzle and the Easy constellations, with one free hint a day. It has no ads and nothing to buy.

Remove ads

Remove ads is the game’s one purchase. You pay once, and there is no subscription. It removes all ads and makes hints unlimited. The store shows the price in your currency before you buy.

You buy it from Apple or Google, under their terms, and we never see your payment details. To get it back on a new phone, sign in with the same Apple or Google account and tap Restore purchases on the Remove ads screen.

Refunds

Apple and Google take the payment, so refunds go through them, under their refund policies and the law where you live. Ask the store you bought from. If you need help, write to info@joshuamakes.ca.

Your progress

Your progress stays on your phone, or in your browser if you play there. There is no backup on our side, so we cannot bring it back if it is lost, for example when you delete the game or change phones. The privacy policy says what information the game uses and why.

Children

The game is listed for ages 13 and up, and younger children often play on a parent’s or grandparent’s phone. A purchase is made through the store account on the phone, so the phone’s own settings can ask a grown-up to approve it first.

Using the game

You may play the game for your own enjoyment, and share your Daily results. Please do not copy, sell or republish the game or its drawings, try to get around its ads or its purchase, or use it to break the law. The game and its drawings belong to us. The fonts and open-source software in it belong to their makers, and you can read their licenses in the app, under Settings, Licenses.

Changes to the game

We may change the game over time, by adding puzzles or changing how things work, and it may stop being offered one day. Ads and purchases depend on services we do not run, Apple’s and Google’s, and need an internet connection.

Your rights

We make the game with care, but we provide it “as is”, and we cannot promise that it will always work without a fault. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for losses that come from using it.

Nothing on this page takes away the rights that consumer law gives you where you live, including in the European Economic Area and the UK. Where that law says otherwise, that law wins.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, we will update this page and the date at the top.
