About the Game

An island full of stars waiting for a charge, and a black hole with a taste for coins. Pick up your charging gun, earn your first coins, and decide how to spend them.

Charge stars, earn coins

Point your charging gun at a star and fill it up until it glows and flies back into the sky. Don't leave the coins and gems behind! The more you earn this run, the more star types you unlock: harder to charge, with bigger payouts. Raise your luck and unlock shining stars, and the next one might be a Jackpot.

Upgrade your gun, try something new

Head back to the cottage and pick your next upgrades. Add more arcs to your charging gun, let chain lightning reach farther, or widen your Tesla coil's charging range. The coil can top up your gun's energy, too. You can also run faster, collect loot from farther away, or make the days longer.

Unlock plasma beams and shockwaves, and fully charged stars have a chance to help charge their neighbors. Activate your orbiting lightning orbs and take them into a crowd of stars. Charge stars in quick succession to build combos and get a chance at extra drops.

Put your UFOs to work

Unlock the plasma UFO and charging-beam UFO and put them to work. They'll automatically find stars and charge them from above.

Your black hole wants dinner, too

Just when you're ready for an upgrade, your black hole gets hungry again. It only eats coins, and its appetite keeps growing. Buy an upgrade first, or save up for its next meal? You do the math.

Rebirth with blessings and try again

You only earn new prestige on rebirth by beating your all-time record for feeding the black hole in a single run. Spend it on permanent blessings: more weapon power, more ammo capacity, or a stronger Tesla coil. Start again on day one, try a different build, and see how many meals you can manage this time.
