The universe is shrinking and the planets are running out of space to be in. So what happens next? A battle between the planets, of course!

Smash into the other planets and collect powerups to increase your survival chance! Destroying other planets gives you more time until your imminent death.

Tried a few times and my high score was 4700. All the art work was simple and cute, I liked that as well as the gameplay. Was fun to see all the ways this could end, (spoilers, so saying no more). Play for yourself if you wanna know >.O Fun and creative use of the theme, great work.
And I'm guilty of expecting earth-chan, but close enough, lol.

Took me a while to figure out -999 is a good thing! Would love some happy music to destress me tho, and maybe more human players

@yukey0 Thank you! I'm glad you liked the art :smile: This is the first time I tried making anything that's not pixel art, so I'm glad people enjoyed it.

It's a really fun game, but when the particles from the edge and the planet overlap, the particles don't cover the outline.

Cuteness overload, especially the game over screen! Really good graphics and fun game.

Very cute game. Had me chuckling, especially the game over cutscenes. The instructions flash too quickly though. I didn't have time to read them the first time.

So cute~~

I think the gameplay could get a little optimization. Right now I don't need to "fight" and just keep on dodging. After some time when the universe is small enough it stopped shrinking altogether (because other planets keep colliding with the sun?) and it's become an endless game.

Also, the explanation text is too fast and misleading. At the beginning after reading it I thought my role is to knock other planets away from the sun (similar to other "protect Earth/Sun" games). Took me a while and many re-read to understand how to play,

Loved the face expressions and the artstyle. Feels a bit sluggish, and fighting seems unnecessary when you get points for every kill in the game. Very well done

I really like to smash those planets out of existence!

Cool idea! :) i like the death-screens :grin:

Nice game :)
Interesting idea :)
I m not sure If is a game about fighting perhaps is a world where all planete could be friend, and want to hug the sun (perhaps it is not the best idea but you sun is very cute)

Youd done a very great job, but I think more player's feedback like a blinking shield just before is cancellation (ora shield you juste dodge the next hit) a ambiance sound can easily add more life to a game.

I very apreciate your death screen, but perhaps the earth like the other just want to be friend with the sun, (before colaps and die).
This game is for me (and actually) the game in which I want just play more, just is agreable and (nearly) relaxing, if you had some music I swear I test play more and more.
Can you ping me if you add the music ? (I want to play more :) )

Really cute graphics, but maybe a run is a bit too long...

Winning strategy: pacifism. I doubled my score by just avoiding the other planets and letting them duke it out for themselves. Might need a bit of balancing to make it more worth while to actually play, haha. Otherwise, fun, cute game.
