Dive into a universe of your own making with "My Little Universe," a game that lets you explore nine colorful planets using just a pickaxe, an axe, and a sword. Unlock endless possibilities as you expand your territory hex by hex, gather valuable resources, and fend off alien threats. Gather your friends for a four-player local co-op adventure, and explore the vast cosmos together.
In "My Little Universe," you’re the master of your cosmic domain. Equipped with just three trusty tools—your pickaxe, axe, and sword—you’ll journey through nine distinct planets, each brimming with its own set of wonders, resources, and monstrous adversaries. As you claim each hex of land, you’ll unveil new biomes, from misty grottos to towering peaks, all filled with secrets and challenges awaiting discovery.
In this game, trees regrow faster than you can cut them down, sharks seem to be plotting against anyone who dares to swim, and that old wrecked spaceship might hold more value than it initially appears. Whether you’re navigating these worlds alone or with friends, these essential tips will help you evolve from a clueless wanderer into a universe-conquering aficionado.
Booster Cards & the Art of Cosmic Privilege
Think of Booster Cards as your personal cheat codes to the universe. Every swing of your pickaxe, chop of your axe, or strike against an enemy gets you closer to nabbing these game-altering advantages. Want to glide through water like a torpedo? Yep, there’s a card for that. Prefer it if enemies looked the other way until you strike? Bingo. But beware—dying, or getting chomped by those pesky sharks, will snatch them away, so deploy them judiciously.
And don’t fret too much about meeting your demise. Unlike most survival games, "My Little Universe" treats death more like a quick shot of espresso. You respawn straight away, keeping all your resources and upgrades intact. The only loss? A random Booster Card. So if you’re boasting three fantastic buffs, maybe reconsider diving headfirst into lava.
Secrets, Shortcuts, and That Suspicious Spaceship
A rookie mistake many players make is overlooking their battered starter ship, thinking it’s worthless. Big misstep. Once you nab your tools, take a swing at that hunk of junk with your pickaxe. The payoff is worth the effort, trust me.
Keep your eyes peeled for the resource piles peppered across the planets, too. These gathers can be clutch when you find yourself low on supplies. And if you’re trading wood for coins, hunt down that mysterious trader NPC. This guy is your go-to for resource swaps.
And don’t forget about the twinkling stars—they’re your tickets to unlocking some snazzy cosmetics.
Bosses, Sharks, and Other Risky Business
Let’s clarify one thing: there’s no blocking in this game. Dodging is your ultimate ally. Nail the timing, and you’ll be dancing through attacks like a space ninja. Mess up? Don’t worry, your health will auto-heal within seconds.
When it comes to those sharks, yes, you could try swimming to distant islands early on. But remember, the universe loves punishing hubris. Swim faster than your partner if you want to keep your Booster Card. And on a cheeky note, yes—you can catch a shark!
Bosses are a whole different ball game. Wielding just a Level 1 sword might make boss fights feel like pulling teeth—or just upgrade to Level 5 and slice through like a hot knife through cosmic butter. Ditto for your other tools; maxing them out means faster resource gathering. Prioritize those upgrades unless you fancy watching progress bars inch forward at snail’s pace.
Co-Op Chaos: Harmony or Havoc?
Playing with friends means shared resources and collective upgrades, which is great—when you’re not too busy sabotaging each other. Assign roles wisely: have one person mine, another take on enemies, and maybe someone “volunteer” as shark bait for laughs.
For a tougher experience, switch to Manual Controls in the settings. Now every action—be it chopping, mining, or dodging—demands precise button presses, turning even spiders into adversaries and mining into an impromptu rhythm game.
