Solar Bloom
Solar Bloom is a cosmic simulation arcade rogue-like in which you play as a lone Star, trying to create and maintain a solar system for as long as you can. Choose one of three stars, manage your resources, make crucial sacrifices and try to obtain as high a score as possible. Good luck!
Controls:
- Left Click - shoot a solar flare and destroy asteroids or planets, although you might want to avoid that :)
- Right Click - use a solar wind to pull planets closer to your orbit (and even in yourself for some sweet bonuses), or asteroids to create new planets
- Scroll Wheel - zoom in/out
- Arrow keys, A, B - a certain company's code :)

congrats on honorable mention!
Thanks! :)
It's cute. I love the music, it gives very FTL vibes! I don't really get what the "ab-" reference is. I presume ABC, but arrow keys and typing doesn't seem to do anything? Also I think you need to preload the planet scenes as there's a lag every time a planet spawns for me.
Good job :)
You should hear a boop sound when you type the correct sequence for the Konami code (UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT , RIGHT, B, A)
It will give you god mode so you won't lose hydrogen and helium.
We do actually preload all the planets, but I think the shader might take some time to randomize the planet so it can be slightly laggy at times, especially in the browser.
Thanks so much for your words :) I made the music, and I'm so glad you liked it. You're right, FTL was one of the inspirations for the soundtrack!
