About the Game

Sling new worlds into orbit inside real photographs of the universe. Universalia is a zen physics game about gravity, patience, and the quiet joy of watching something you made keep turning.

Real skies

Every system lives inside a genuine NASA / ESA photograph: Webb's Pillars of Creation, Hubble's Sombrero galaxy, Cassini's backlit Saturn, the Apollo 8 Earthrise.

Gravity is the only rule

Slow meetings merge two worlds into one. Comets crater giants. A small world flown gently past a great one becomes its moon.

Fifteen handcrafted systems

Waltzing binary suns, a roaming black hole, rivers of stone, native worlds to protect, and a finale that asks you to hold everything together through the storm.

Play it soft

  • Aim in frozen time
  • A photosensitivity mode and adjustable text
  • A mercy rule: five defeats open the road onward anyway
  • Couch co-op on one screen, or online via Remote Play Together

The music of the universe

A classical soundtrack of Satie and Debussy, and every world in orbit sings its own note. The more your system thrives, the more the music takes over.

Wishlist Universalia and put new worlds in the sky.
