Start with literally nothing and watch the universe unfold.

Left click is your only control for all three sections. Combine quarks, become a star, and dodge asteroids in this game of scale and time.

I don't really get what I need to do :/

It seems like a possibly fun game, but the lack of any instructions or any information whatsoever might be hindering gameplay a bit, as all I was doing was clicking on everything until something happened.

Really cool game! I love the art and music, and the gameplay is great! The only thing I would change is to tell the player what to do at the beginning. The reason why is because it took me a few minutes to figure out you have to combine the particles. Great game though!

For anyone wondering:
You must link two particles of different colors to create a "pink particle", now link an other particle from the last color to that pink particle.
Example: Link red to blue -> creates pink -> link green to pink -> voilà !

The game lacks instructions, but the transition animations between levels are beautiful !
The music is really nice as well :)

Interesting. I liked the animation & audio. The discovery aspect of the first phase didn't quite work on me, had to read 4quet's comment to figure out how it all worked. The start phase seemed a bit awkward as I couldn't see what I was doing most of the time.

Those chiptunes were a standout. Big NES vibes in all the right ways. Nice job.

A nice idea, but a lack of in-game hints makes it unenjoyable, as it's hard to understand at start what you gave to do.

Stellar concept, maybe a bit nebulous in the execution. I got stuck on the clouds, likely because of a UI bug, for some time. clearer visual feedback would have held my interested a lot longer. I really appreciated the sound work and animations between scenes. Thanks for the game :)

Very cool graphics and sound! Took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on in the first level, but I feel like the mystery added to the gameplay and it would've been boring if it said "combine red green and blue to make 10 particles". The star level seemed to have me play twice for some reason. The transitions between stages were amazing. Great job!
