EXLODE STARS TO TRAVEL IN SPACE

You're lost in space, no more fuel. Your only way of moving around now is to use your special weapon that makes stars go unstable and explode.

Disclaimer

This is more a toy than a true "game". Do not expect a scoring system / end-game / progression. Treat it as a small experiment. It was made in just a few hours by a single person. I had a very busy weekend but I still wanted to make something so... yeah.

EXPLORE

Travel in space and discover what is hidden out there. You may find other explorers like you. Or other things. Who knows ? Space is weird sometimes.

Make stars go KABOOM

Click on the various stars to de-stabilize them and create huge explosions! Us this as a way of travelling in space. It may be hard to navigate precisely, but oh my god you'll go super faaaaaast!

Make bigger KABOOMS

You know what's better than a regular explosion ? A HUGE EXPLOSION!!

There are different type of stars to discover. Some will do regular explosions, other will do small but powerfull explosions. And some will... Yeah you'll go absurdly fast if you click on a specific type of star.

Easy controls

Just use your Mouse to click on the stars. That's it! Do not hesitate to spam click on stars. The more you click, the bigger the explosion!

If you get stuck, you can also press R to regenerate the universe.

Click Click Click Click BOOM

I really enjoyed playing this thing. I think it would have been great if the player had the ability to zoom and pan the map, so you could try to navigate to different parts. That would probably also make it feel like more of a game. In any case I had a great time blasting off into space and trying to find all of the encounters.

Great visuals and music, it really creates a fun little toy to play around with. I wish there was a tiny bit more control - it's fun to fly around randomly but being able to plan a bit more where you'd like to go would be nice. I liked the random array of things to find - I only found a few though.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! Yeah there's a lot of features I wanted to add but I didn't have the time to.. Great ideas @natpat and @dennis-magnusson :smile:

Still had a LOT of fun making it :heart:

Fun mechanic! Would definitely like to play a fuller game based on this.

The audio/art works really well, amazed you made it feel so polished given you didn't spend long on it!

Really really liked this one! Impressive how this was done only in a few hours by one person. The visual style is really cute and clean and the sounds have a really juicy feeling to them as well. :star: Bravo! :raised_hands:

Probably my favourite game so far! I spent ages zooming around and found all the encounters, a very chill vibe and beautiful graphics. I couldn't stop until I'd reunited Alex and Joanna! Great game, well done!

More of a toy than a game??? It makes my game look like garbage! haha.

Suuuper enjoyable and really nicely presented, excellent work :)
