End With Nothing!...? by Aileron

[raw]
made by Aileron for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

It's assessment time so I almost didn't participate this time around! In the end I procrastinated on my project so hard that I ended up spending 5 hours on LD. It somehow feels more complete than my last one.

I can't say much about the genre or content, but I can say it generates a very rudimentary spiral galaxy with 2-3 "arms". It then fills it up with some stars. You can then click on the stars to progress. ...Look, I came up with it on the spot. I may update it in the future.

It's quite short. I hope you enjoy spam-clicking, and perhaps find a little bit of weird humor in the dialogue and story! (my delirious mind certainly found it hilarious for no good reason!).

I look forward to playing everyone else's submissions!

Yes it is 640x360 scaled up to 1280x720. Tell me if I should have just left it.

This like when I would be playing sim city and get bored, then just start crashing planes into the city until it was gone. :smile_cat:

Lol fun take on the theme, and don't feel bad about there not being a lot to the game, making a game by yourself is HARD! I basically just have a tower defense but with rng, and I worked on that a lot longer than 5 hours lol. Good work.

I like the music, but the gameplay felt tedious to me. I blew up the first universe to see if there was something more to it, but then another one showed up. The story was charming though.

Clicking and blowing the stars is satisfying and the look of the game is nice :)

Nice one! A lot of work to clean up after "accidentially creating a universe" ;)

Great music. The Interval between click and boom is very impressive.

Nice little clicker game. I like how the stars twinkle and explode when you click on them.

Fun little game, I was really hoping for an alternate ending (went through 3 different universes lol)! Cute little music although it got a bit repetitive. Overall your game kinda reminded me of the first Diablo when I destroyed my mouse with frenetic left clicking lol. Great job!
