About the Game

Ever wondered how it feels like to manage and exploit entire universes? Start small with only one planet. Construct and upgrade buildings to produce resources. Explore caves to find treasure. Send ships to other planets to fight enemies and get more building space. Conquer other star systems and start building Dyson spheres and other megastructures. Do research to unlock innovative ways to expand your megafactory.

Done conquering the universe? Send probes that look for other universes and get ready to uncover all sorts of new, exciting and weird things in them, where the speed of light can be 35c, and the gravitational constant such that it affects how galaxies and planets form.
