About This Game

Developer’s Friendly Reminder Before Purchase

This game might not be what you imagine. It is based on physical principles rather than conventional game logic. Below are the mechanics you should understand before making a purchase:

  • This is not a collision game——If you attempt to directly collide with any celestial body without taking special measures, even if the target’s static mass is far smaller than yours, you will suffer damage far beyond your subjective expectations due to the effects of special relativity.

  • This is not a devouring game——The process of celestial bodies consuming each other is primarily expressed through tidal disruption. There is no “big fish eats small fish” contact-devouring mechanic. This aspect strictly adheres to real physical phenomena, and we have only removed pre-merger high-speed orbital motion to ensure that you can operate the game effectively.

  • The speed of mass transfer may defy your intuition——The rate at which mass is transferred between celestial bodies is constrained by the Roche limit and the Lagrange point overflow mechanism. It is also influenced by gravitational potential distribution, conservation of angular momentum, and other physical laws. Therefore, it is not determined solely by the numerical mass difference between celestial bodies. Additionally, the game includes a protection mechanism to prevent runaway mass transfer caused by extreme mass differences, ensuring that you can respond to dynamic changes in time.

  • Players are not beneficiaries of random celestial collisions——Celestial bodies not controlled by players have basic collision protection mechanisms during autonomous movement. You should not expect them to collide with each other intentionally. This design is to maintain the stability of the simulated cosmic environment. Our tests have shown that without this collision protection, players do not actually benefit from such interactions.

We kindly ask that you fully understand the above information before making your purchase decision to avoid any unpleasant gaming experience. We hope this game brings you a unique and profound sense of enjoyment. Thank you for your support!

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

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.
