Welcome to this remake of Starquake Retro 8/16-Bit Style Graphics. Gameplay... The player controls BLOB (Bio-Logically Operated Being), whose mission is to penetrate the unstable core of a rogue planet which has appeared from a black hole. If the core is not repaired within the set time limit it will implode causing a chain reaction which will destroy the entire universe. The planet is inhabited by various primitive creatures, all hazardous to the touch, and the remnants of a previous civilisation which provides the items needed to rebuild and stabilise the planet core. Transportation Within the game, there are many ways to get around; -Running is the default. -Hover platforms can be used to fly. Items can not be picked up while on a hover platform. -BLOB can build his own short-lived platforms to reach high places. -There are also multiple teleport booths scattered around the play area, each with its own destination code. Inventory BLOB is able to carry up to four items at once, using a FIFO arrangement. Some of the items encountered will be useful to repair the core, while others will need to be exchanged using a Cheops Pyramid for something more useful. There is also an Access card, which can fill in for any of the numbered chips needed to get through some doors, and for using the aforementioned Pyramid. Play Area The game features a large and varied play area, with 512 screens. The placement of the objects, and the identities of those needed to fix the core are randomized at the start of the game.

Create your own creatures to explore online worlds with friends and collect new parts to upgrade your stats and abilities! Complete quests, battle enemies, challenge friends to minigames, or just have fun roleplaying — the possibilities are endless when your imagination is the limit! The core gameplay loop involves constructing creatures to explore hand-crafted worlds and collecting body parts and patterns to further upgrade your creature. You can then use your newly acquired abilities to complete quests to earn cash and re-invest into your creature. If you’re just interested in creating creatures, however, then simply switch over to creative mode and everything will already be unlocked! The creation tool consists of three different modes: ● BUILD: Customize the shape of your creature by manipulating its spine and attaching transformable body parts. Altering your creature then changes its statistics (e.g., weight, speed, health etc.) and attaching certain body parts gives it special abilities (e.g., flying, swimming, biting etc.). ● PAINT: Change the color of your creature’s body and attached body parts, as well as the pattern and texture of your creature’s skin. ● PLAY: When you’re finished designing your creature, you can bring it to life! Traverse lush forests, swim in the ocean or fly high above the clouds — your creature will procedurally animate to adapt to its environment.
