Stardark

Use the arrow keys or controller to move the ship around and find growing stars. Every 10 seconds, a wave of every spreads throughout the galaxy, powering up the stars and activating new ones.

Hover over the star to drain energy from it and keep the star from growing to the point of destruction. You cannot drain energy if the ship’s energy is already maxed.

When a star is destroyed in this universe, they explode, sending asteroid projectiles through space. The ship loses energy as it sits idle, moves, and hits asteroids in space.

When the ship runs out of energy, it becomes disabled and unable to move, leading to an overgrowth of stars and the destruction of the galaxy.

Story

“Every 10 seconds, a star is born.” -excerpt from the Creator’s Journal

In the beginning there was only darkness and the darkness was all. Then the stars were born with a new star emerging every cycle. The stars grow in energy every cycle until they move to destruction, returning to the darkness. When the stars grow out of control and the horrid starlight covers all, this universe itself will be destroyed and return to darkness.

The galaxy ship Stardark is charged with draining energy from the stars to keep the universe in balance. If too many stars grow to the point of destruction, the galaxy will be destroyed.
