The engines are dead. You are drifting in space.

Parsec after parsec of nothingness.

But you got places to be,

and vast amount of energy to expend.

You start creating stars.

Made in two weeks for Idle Thumbs Wizard Jam 6.

Menu navigation

Tips

Try to avoid creating stars directly in front of or behind the ship. Instead, place the stars next to the ship, some distance away from it. 

Use right click to disable existing stars.


Updates

v1.1: Easier level progression on initial stages. Graphics setting tweaks.

v1.2: Added constellation gallery. Changed the order of modifiers to make progression easier
