Harness the power of the Sun! Smash nuclei together to generate energy! Inadvertently destroy the rest of the solar system in the process! In Stellar [Con]fusion, you're responsible for using nuclear fusion and the proton-proton chain to help the Sun grow into the largest star possible while gravity fights to collapse it back down.
