1. Click the big planet in the center to earn energy and minerals.
2. Open the Build tab (left panel) and buy a Solar Collector, then a Deep Core Mine.
3. Keep clicking and building. Once you can afford it, switch to the Fleet tab and buy Scout Squadrons.
4. When your fleet power meets a planet's defense, hit Conquer โ you'll enter the orbital strike minigame.
5. Conquer all worlds in your galaxy, then Transcend to the next one for permanent stardust bonuses.
Click your homeworld (the planet in the center of the galaxy map) to harvest energy and minerals. These are your basic resources for everything.
You can also press Space to harvest without clicking.
Use the Build tab on the left to purchase buildings. Solar Collectors produce energy passively, Deep Core Mines produce minerals. Each purchase increases the cost of the next one.
As you progress, unlock powerful buildings like Fusion Plants, Dyson Collectors, and Singularity Taps for massive output.
The Research tab has three categories: click upgrades (multiply your click power), science generators (Research Stations, Academies, AI Oracles), and production boosts (Efficiency IโIII multiply ALL production).
Science generators produce science passively, which you spend on powerful one-time upgrades.
Build fleet units in the Fleet tab to gain fleet power. You need fleet power to conquer enemy worlds. Each world has a defense rating โ you need fleet power equal to or greater than that number.
When you conquer a world, you enter an Orbital Strike minigame. Click the planet surface to bombard installations and click rising enemy missiles to intercept them before they damage your fleet.
Destroy 65% of installations to win. After victory, you can rename the planet.
Click anywhere on the ground to fire โ you don't have to click exactly on a building. Strikes have a blast radius, so close is good enough.
Red missiles rising from the surface will damage your fleet shields. Click them to fire point defense. Prioritize missiles when they're close to your ships.
Facilities marked with โฒ ARMED are the ones launching missiles at you.
Once you've conquered every world in your current galaxy AND have enough fleet power, you can Transcend to the next galaxy. This resets your resources, buildings, and fleet โ but you keep your stardust and empire name.
You earn Stardust when you transcend, which permanently boosts ALL production across future galaxies. The more energy you've earned, the more stardust you get.
Stardust is your permanent currency. Each point gives +15% to your production multiplier and +0.5 to click power. This compounds across transcensions โ the more you collect, the faster each new galaxy goes.
There are 8 galaxies total, each harder than the last. The final galaxy, the Cosmic Void, requires 250,000 fleet power to enter.
Check the Feats tab for 41 achievements spanning clicks, energy, fleet power, worlds conquered, galaxies reached, production rates, stardust, and transcension count. They'll pop up as notifications when earned.
