WEB GAME

Even The Stars bit.ly/evenstars Originally conceived as an entry for the Space Cowboy game jam, EvenTheStars has evolved into something more complete. Available to play as a download or in browser, creator Pol Clarissou’s space adventure allows you to explore a universe by entering six-digit coordinates into your ship’s nav computer. There might be nothing to see when you arrive, or you might stumble across a planet housing the artefacts of an ancient civilisation. If you find a planet, you can go into orbit to explore its surface and touch down next to anything of interest, and you can remark on discoveries in your log, which gradually builds up a story of your adventure. There’s a catch, though: with each warp jump, you lose a unit of fuel and grow a little older. When you run out of fuel, your journey comes to a close.
