Sow the Stars

Shikkoku Games

Fire bodies into orbit, merge them, and grow a sun. When it is fully grown it goes supernova, and a new solar system is born. Systems become galaxies, and galaxies fill the universe. Aim every shot yourself, or sit back and watch it grow: a calm incremental game about building a universe.

Overview

Fire, merge, grow

Fire bodies onto the rings that circle a sun. When two of the same size collide, they merge into something larger. Grow them big enough and they fall into the sun, and the sun grows with them.

Every supernova widens the universe

A fully grown sun goes supernova, leaving behind heavy elements. Spend them on upgrades and your next sun grows faster.

Each supernova gives birth to a new solar system. In time they become a galaxy, and at the heart of every completed galaxy, a black hole appears.

Zoom in, zoom out, just watch

Pull back seamlessly from a single solar system to a spiralling galaxy to a universe full of them. A viewing mode hides every line and label, so you can simply watch.

Aim it yourself, or let it run

Thread your shots onto the ring you want, or leave it to the launchers and watch. Even while the game is closed, your universe keeps growing, little by little.

Collect

  • Five kinds of remnants left behind by supernovae

  • Skins for galaxy colours, the sky and the shape of bodies (yes, a universe of hearts)

  • 25 achievements, each unlocking a short note about the real universe
