Outer Belt

Cold rock and slow ice, tumbling far from the light.

Boss: Level 40
Boss rule: Meteor rain. Every 4 moves a meteor lands on a gem and turns to rock.
Detour: Five bonus levels after the boss, for two thirds of the universe's stars

Cold rock and slow ice, and the signal is stronger. Whatever sent it was built in our yard.

More from the story (spoilers)

I found her beacon, Captain. Empty, and still switched on. She left it burning so someone would follow.

The Belt is dimmer than the survey says. Not by much. Enough. I am going further out to see if it is only here.

Captain Vesper's log, on the boss

Look for a corner or a five before taking the first match you see. Power pieces pay far more than plain matches.
Meteors turn gems to rock. Clear next to a rock to break it, and keep your power pieces for the crowded rows.
Stars here count toward the detour. Replay a level for its third star when you are one short.
