Overview:
Travel around the solar system while you collect resources to create your own galaxy. This is currently an endless experience that cannot be failed or completed. Headphones and a controller are also recommended.

Controls [Keyboard & Controller]
Movement = WASD or Left Thumbstick
Create Planet = Spacebar or A Button

Objectives:
Collect fragments of comets to increase your power level, as your level increases so does your ability to collect larger comets.

Collisions between attached comets and those in the environment will reduce your tether strength and destroy your comet.

Create new planets once you have collected enough resources, each new planet will generate a randomized comet field.

Amazing! I am missing the story a bit, the graphics are unbelievable! The audio great. The gameplay reminded me Osmos (not the same, but similar). Great job!

Very good atmo. Game crashes after 4 planets though. I didn't rate gfx and sound because these where pre-made assets.

@yodamaster thanks for the feedback, I found the issue with the game crash and updated the build.

A nice way to pass some time. Just fly through space and see whats there.

I didn't really care for gameplay of building planets , just got too repetitive. So I went back to flying around :)

I don't know why but creating planets was very satisfying.

There is an incredible sense of atmosphere and loneliness in this game, very impressive visuals too. I loved exploring around looking for extra rocks - really therapeutic gameplay, would be really cool to explore procedurally generated environments!

intriguing game.
I made 4 planets, one was giant!
I didn't understand the purpose of this game, but it was well made.

A nice little sandbox. Enjoyable to play.

Awesome! I didn't quite get why I was making planets, but I did anyway!
