If this game isn't working, it's also available to play on Itchio and Newgrounds (more info).
Outlive the impending end of the universe by depleting its last remnants.
Dead Stars was made for Ludum Dare 50 and its theme "Delay the Inevitable." It's inspired by several ideas and concepts about how the universe will end. Your goal is to survive to that end by collecting as much energy as possible.
How to Play
WASD/Arrow keys = Select
Enter/Space = Confirm
Esc/P = Pause
Here's a guide on how to play the game, with an in-depth explanation of its mechanics.
v1.0.2
Fixed a bug where the game would end at a random time after 500 instead of 500 exactly, subtracting more energy from the final score
Fixed a bug where, if the ship travelled before the game ends, energy lost over that travel time was doubled
v1.0.1
Fixed a bug where the page scrolls when pressing the up or down arrow keys
Thanks to jazz_horse for helping me test the game.
