The Big Crunch

In this chilled puzzle game you smash planets and stars together to save space in an ever shrinking universe. Two game modes offer different styles of play and multiple stage provide ever increasing difficulty.

"Wow, I love your game, cool mechanics, nice art… :) Good job!" -@muriel (ldjam.com)

Game Mode A

All the planets and stars will shrink with the universe, getting closer and closer together. Combine two of the same type together to make a new type and save some space. Combine two black holes to win the stage or game over when 2 different types collide.

Game Mode B

All the planets and stars stay in place as the universe shrinks around them. Combine two of the same type together to make a new type and save some space. When no more can be combined you win the stage or game over when the universe edge collides.

Controls

Use WASD or RMB to rotate the universe

Use mouse wheel to zoom

Use LMB to drag a line between 2 planets or stars to combine them
