Genesis by BustosMan

[raw]
made by BustosMan for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

It's best to place a star first! :smile: Psst, your mission is to create life.

The anomaly card spawns a random effect once placed into your universe.

Stars and nebulae will generate matter points while planets will only generate matter when orbiting a star.star.jpgnebula.jpg Made by more team Members at Echo Studios. This game is also dedicated to Sue Collingridge.

The atmosphere (no pun intended) is really strong in this game. I love the mood and how the various card interact with each other once they've been played. Great work!

Hey! I like the game! The card mechanic surprised me a bit, but then again I had no idea what to expect. The mechanic worked well. loved the effects and music also. The music pulled it together, ambient. Only thing I wish was that the matter built up faster, but that could have been my own fault.

It took me a bit of time to figure out how to use the Big Bang, but besides that it is a neat little concept

Congratulations! My team thought about a similar game in brainstorm, but we discarded it. I just loved the simplicity and beautiful of your game.

Very very interesting concept I liked it. Was a bit confused in the beggining as to what I had to do but great game, I want to see more.

The audio work is fantastic in this game. It really pushed me into the mood to play it further and discover more. I liked the simplistic card mechanic. The only issue is that, whatever card I use, they all settle in the center overlapping each other (with some exceptions that moves out from the center) which doesn't add much to the universe, visually.

Really cool game, absolutely love the ambient music, but sometimes the sound effects seem to cut a little abruptly.

I really like the concept of the game and the evolution of the visuals according to the cards we use. The music is very pretty and fits perfectly with the game. Good job :)

I've seen a few universe creation games already, so it was nice to see one with a slightly different mechanic. The cards were a neat addition to the concept.

Good job! In a way, was similar to mine. I feel likes yours was like mine except you expanded more on the actual universe concept instead of the solar system concept I had in my game. Anyways I had a blast playing it. Good job.

Nice, cute, little card game with good theme interpretation

I dont understand one thing... from where is the decistion that life ends the game? it was quite dissapointing tbh, i was expecting like after i will get a life i will be able to place deathstars or so : P and then the goal is like achieve 10matter/sec which is quite an difficult task considering than we have limited space and things are under gravity with each other

also it would be lovely if asteroids wold bound around the canvas, because now they are like "poof! aaaand it's gone"

idea of combining planets to nebulas, a lot of mass to black holes is great but a bit under develop

great job! Work on it after the jam : )
