This looks really nice. The red dwarf is the star of the show, literally, and I love it.

Local multiplayer games are always underrated jam entries.

Didn't entirely get the gameplay of this though - i think maybe left player select was broken? The sun and its solar prominences look really nice, great job making that part.

Thanks for playing! or trying at least. Yes we should've added some tutorial. The premise is, you build sun collectors to gather sols, and use sols to build other more ships. To build, you select a planet and choose which type you want to build. After the ships have been built you can select them by interacting with the planet and then send them by moving your cursor to a different planet. Then, you will conquer other planets and you can use them to build as well.

Left player select being broken could be a bug, but we've never seen anything like that. If you could add a screenshot it would be awesome so we can fix it!

I really liked the concept ! But as the left player I was only able to select and build on one planet, was there something specific to do to be able to build on the others ? 

Thanks for playing! or trying at least. Gameplay can be a tad confusing, we should've added some tutorial. You first have to "conquer" planets to be able to build on them. To do so, you select the units in a planet and send them to the other planets. After a few seconds they will be conquered and then you can build on them.

Really nice! I haven't seen many local multiplayer games on here. I think the concept of the star exploding is fun and the whole concept is really interesting. I would maybe make the UI text a bit bigger to make it easier to read :)

Thanks for playing! We were a bit scared nobody would play it because you need 2 players, but glad you did. We're going to keep working on it and thinking of many improvements, thanks for the feedback.
