Celestial Forge
An orbit‑driven incremental about building worlds and forging stars.
This is my first attempt at making a game so feedback is appreciated!
The game autosaves every few seconds but there is a manual save/load and export/import available.
#Overview
Generators fire balls of mass towards the core, forming a world. Complete celestial bodies, unlock different generator types, discover powerful events, and, once you’re ready, enter the Star Forge to try and forge the largest star while earning the powerful RELICS resource.
- MASS: Earned when shots settle on the core.
- ORBS: Awarded per full generator orbit.
- CELES: Gained by completing bodies.
- RELICS: Forged in the Star Forge.
Features
-Six generator types: Basic, Burster, Heavy, Critical, Support, and Adaptive, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
- Four events: Solar Flare, Comet Shower, Nebula Bloom, Temporal Distortion.
- Achievements: 16 in total to unlock

Future
I plan to rework the UI/UX to make it friendlier and less cluttered

There are too many resources that really don't interact with each other in any way. Orbs is a strange resource that feels like it should be mass upgrades. Celes feels more of a prestige resource and doesn't really make any reasonable impact because of how few you get in any given run. Automation/Idle is too slow compared to manual and the scaling on planets really limits you to 14-15 even after multiple forges.
I am getting mass in increments of 3-4 when my "mass per shot" stat is 6, where does the rest go? Are there taxes in space?
Feels like the fire button shouldn't be below the shop screen. Having to scroll or collapse the menus whenever you finish purchasing upgrades is frustrating.
hold on, let him cook
I feel like it doesn't really make sense for the resources to be in the top left and the shop, where you use the resources, to be on the right.
Under Mass, "Shot Power" and "Reinforced Shot" don't change their text in response to "Reinforced Efficiency" and "Shot Power Amplifier" getting upgraded with Orbs. So I'm a little iffy on whether those upgrades are working as intended.

Lost all of my progress because you needing to shoot the star during the star forge was never explained
