About This Game

Developer's Kind Reminder Before Purchase

Before making your purchase, we hope you understand that this is not a game designed around traditional gameplay mechanics. We did not reference any games you may have played before. If you criticize it for being too similar to or question why it is not like a certain game you've played, or if you ask why this game has or lacks certain content, we sincerely apologize, but we cannot answer those questions—we haven’t played any of the games you mentioned.

This game simply simulates a dynamic universe governed by static physical rules, where your goal is to acquire mass.

In this universe, the only rules are basic physical principles. After establishing these physical rules and setting the initial parameters for the levels, we do not edit or control the levels in any way. You evolve, and the universe evolves autonomously. We have not laid out any linear progression paths for you, nor have we added anything extra to help you achieve victory. When you win, the rules are your ally; when you lose, the rules are your enemy.

When considering purchasing, please do not expect NPCs or AI-driven combat behavior in the game. To make the gameplay possible, we have allowed celestial bodies to perform the most basic actions of approaching or moving away from each other based solely on differences in mass. However, they do not possess any pre-programmed strategies or logical scripts. Within their sensory range, their behavior is determined by mass differences; outside of their sensory range, their relationship with you is dictated solely by pseudo-Brownian motion. If you're expecting a game where hordes of evil enemies rush at you in a twisted space-time setting, engaging in a life-or-death battle of wits and courage, where you rely on bravery and protagonist privileges to follow a scripted path to victory—especially if you're imagining crashing into celestial bodies in a universe where any collision is fatal to achieve a decisive kill—then we regret to inform you that this is not that kind of game. It is not that kind of game. It is not that kind of game. We kindly ask you not to buy it.

=========================================================

This is an impressive and unique game. You will control your own celestial body, plundering mass in the universe, evolving from a cloud of gas into a supermassive black hole that devours everything.

Astrophysics is the rule of the game

The game uses real physical rules to calculate the mass interactions between celestial bodies, and you will witness:

  • Spacetime distorted by mass

  • Small celestial bodies orbiting larger ones

  • The gravitational slingshot effect propelling bodies at high speeds

  • The unique accretion phenomenon of black holes

  • Celestial collisions creating deadly breaches

  • Supermassive black holes emitting sweeping jets

  • Influencing lower-dimensional universes through magnetic fields and gravity from higher dimensions

  • Dimensional reduction pulling all celestial bodies into one-dimensional space

All physical calculations are precisely balanced between gameplay and academic rules:

  • Orbital calculations are primarily based on Newton's law of gravitation

  • Space distortion calculations are based on relativistic rules

  • Every mass particle is controlled by real-time physical computations

  • The morphology of accretion disks fully considers the gravitational lensing effect

In an ever-changing environment, the motion of mass will exhibit extremely complex trajectories. As the plundering war escalates, the simplest particle effects at the beginning of the game will evolve into a torrent spanning the entire universe. This is a game where the visual effects cannot be predicted in advance, as everything depends solely on the physical rules and the mass you plunder.

Distinctive game levels and open scenes

The game offers a series of challenge levels with unique features and different objectives, and the open universe scenes are entirely procedurally generated. You can explore infinitely in any direction, with no boundaries. Your actions will also have a significant impact on the mass transfer between other celestial bodies, determining the course of the entire universe.

Strategy and action gameplay

As your celestial body grows, you will gain various abilities. In the midst of evading and chasing actions, you will need to utilize or combine these abilities wisely to defeat powerful opponents and achieve victory in the cosmic competition.
