A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

DISCLAIMER: The game is currently an alpha version! You can play the demo for free, provide feedback and ideas, and help me make this a successful game!

You find yourself in a strange solar system that revolves a black hole (the Crimson Star). You play as a Voidling that needs to travel to the center of the black hole to stop the corruption from spreading and bring peace to the planets once more.

Each run is randomized - you will find different weapons, items, upgrades in an ever-changing world, making each journey a unique experience. If you die or succeed, you will gain experience based on your progress. With enough experience, you'll level up and can spend skill points to gain certain advantages in the subsequent attempts.

In its current state, the controls cannot be changed, but it works with mouse/keyboard and X-Box controller.
