Build your own sky and swallow every star you can find in I Wanna Be a Supernova, an upcoming casual incremental game that looks really sweet. They plan to have a demo up in January 2027, with a release in March.

Start as a small star while devouring moons, planets, comets and more to gain mass and evolve through 11 stellar phases, from Red Dwarf to Supernova Imminent.

How it plays:

• Move to eat. Bodies near you curl in and give you mass and experience.
• Fill the bar, then evolve. Each phase has a mass bar cut into 3 ranks. A rank you reach is secured against hits.
• Dodge the threats. Human ships, shooting stars and asteroid lanes warn you before they strike. A hit costs mass; collect the fragments to win part of it back.
• Level up. 40 levels. Levelling up earns chests of zodiac relics.

Have a look at the trailer below:
