Universe Sandbox [Space Simulator]
« on: June 27, 2011, 04:10:29 am »

Has anyone seen this on Steam? It looks interesting with all that planetary black hole simulation thingy, as well as being able to merge galaxies. I've yet to try this though, so I'm here to ask you if it's worth me bucks?

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

No, it isn't. As far as I'm aware, it has no gameplay in it. So you look at it once, go "oooh, pretty", then never touch it again.

I played the demo before it was on steam.
I made VY Canis Majoris ridiculously huge.

It's not a game so much as a gravity simulator. So if you are, for example, wondering the effects of the sun becoming a black hole combined with a rogue star hurtling through the solar system, this is what you want. If you want a game, go buy something else.
