Description:
You are a lonely asteroid, looking to make your way into the big leagues. The planets and the stars, colossal giants drifting through space, thinking they're so great. It's time for the status quo to change in a gripping adventure full of romance, betrayal and 16th century colloquialisms. Unfortunately, your epic story switched engines mid-way through development and some of the content was cut. It's still pretty fun though!
Controls:
Move your mouse around the asteroid and click to move towards your mouse pointer.
Your impulse towards that point depends on how far away you click!
Collide with stellar objects (such as asteroids) to absorb them.
Absorb stellar objects with a smaller mass than you to gain their mass!
Try to absorb an object that's larger than you, however, and it'll be game over...
Endgame:
Unfortunately, the game has no tear-jerking finale. However, do post the highest mass you obtain in the comments below and you can compare it to one of these many real life stellar objects:
* Alpha Centauri:
* 2.2E+30 kg
* R135a1 (Most massive star):
* 6.3E+32 kg
* Min Supermassive Black Hole:
* 2.0E+35 kg
* Max Supermassive Black Hole:
* 1.0E+41 kg
Ending Remarks
This is probably the most polished and complete game I have produced for Ludum Dare and in the shortest time! I've only been able to work on and off this weekend so I've probably only used 40% of those 48 hours. Thank you for taking the time to play it and please let me know any criticisms or bugs that you encounter!
