Deep in sequestered space, you get a call from mission control... to construct a Dyson sphere.

Use your wits to solve this incredible work, and seize the victory royale.

Are you up to the task?!

Controls

Mouse only

Use your left click mouse button to harvest the planets. 🪐

Explore and left click on things to see what happens. :eyes:

Space design was cool

A Dyson sphere is basically harvesting the sun for energy. So 2X harvesting here.

Really funny, awesome graphics! I broke the flowers :D

It was surprisingly relaxing to scrape away planets layer by layer. Fun game!

Awesome! The planet harvesting was satisfying (though there seemed to be an offset or scaling issue which resulted in it harvesting some distance to the right of my mouse)

At first I was unsure about this game, but the mood is funny, harvesting the planets layer by layer is quite relaxing, and I love the sheep. :D

Fun concept, the controls are a bit off and get stuck most of the time. But fun if barebones experience.

The offset seems to happen if you're zoomed in/out in your browser on itch.io

Most satisfying thing I've peeled this year. Fun little game, does exactly what it's designed to do.

The sound effect when erasing the planet is too decompressed. I enjoy this game very much

Simple but strong idea ! I enjoyed harvesting planets (but was it ethic ?), I've taken care of the flowers and the tiny cosmosheep (great voice acting !) :blush:

(I think you should disable audio rating as you didn't made it yourself for the event)

@pikario Yea since we didn't make the music ourselves I've opted out of the audio rating :)

Cool concept. Like the atmosphere, and the base concept of mining planets is cool. Would love to see more features.
Good entry!

The rubbing effect is well made and satisfying!

Kind of wish there was a consequence for taking good care of the flowers or not. Fun to destroy the planets. Concerned about planet 3's giant cat skeleton...

The AI art was well-utilized. The songs were also chosen well. I love the idea of promising your mom that you'll do an LD entry, very funny.
