- If you don't have an up-to-date browser (such as Chrome), play the Windows executable for better performance -
You are Guaxbot, colossal organic machine that can make planets.
Guaxbot has a symbiotic relationship with the planet it creates. It must find a magma core and grow it up to a T3 planet in order to survive.
As you orbit your core, you can pull space debris such as DUST, LIQUID and GAS towards the core, using your mouse. Use these same materials, or the ones produced by your planet to attack invaders.
If you grow your core up to a T3 world, you will survive for eons to come.
If you don't, the planet will crumble, and you will die in a few years.
To win, achieve 125 total materials in your planet

Thanks ^^
You have an area around the robot that you can grab things, and I confess that is annoying. We are considering removing the robot in the final version, so you can drag anything near the planet
Nice graphics, suitable music and snappy controls.
Very nice. The only problem I had was that sometimes when you want to drag something to the core it instead gets flung through it to the other side.
very good and interesting interpretation of the theme!, really cool mechanic, everything looked and felt great, professional quality sound and graphics, excellent job!
I enjoyed it once I figured out what was going on, but I was on the verge of giving up before I stumbled on it. Beyond that, it was a simple and fun game, with the only complaints being finicky grabbing.
This feels like a very polished game. I'm lost for criticism because it is so awesome. I just... wow.
My video card only supports up to OpenGL 2.1 so gfy are not showing well for me in the windows version but the web version works fine in FireFox - aside the crash that occurs on reloading. I like the idea though and the music is moody. :)You should continue to work on this game like adding missions and maybe awards so it's ready for Steam. :D
Thank you for making this!
A great game, I enjoyed trying to create life on my planet (didn't succeed).
May be a bit more interaction between invaders and the planet, it's not clear when they hurt it or not (but it's just a detail).
Awesome game! Took a while for me to understand what to do. But when I did, i enjoyed it!
Very cool; I enjoyed it a lot. Difficult to play on a trackpad, but I got the hang of it. Some in-game instructions would be useful, and the progress bars weren't totally clear (just numbers).
Fun game, I never got it to build a magma core but had a lot of fun building a barren wasteland
It took me a while to get the hang of the controls, but once I did this game became very fun. I wish the grabbing mechanic was a bit more intuitive, but over all this is a fantastic game.
Fun game to play when I figured out the controls! Nice job!
Thanks everybody who rated and commented, we are thrilled with the results!

You guys made a game that fits this and previous theme.
Everything in this game is in it's right place and is my favorite so far.
The only problem is that sometimes I can't grab space debris, but is still playable.
Wonderful job guys.
