8 Worlds

8 Worlds is a roguelike deckbuilder about keeping stars alive. A mysterious being is going around the universe putting stars out, and you play as the last lamplighter, the one person trying to relight them. You do that by putting planets in orbit around a dying star and spinning them to generate enough energy to bring it back. In the game these stars are called sols. A full run takes you through fifteen solo, and each one requires more energy than the one before.

At the start of each sol you draw a hand of planets from your deck and choose where to place them in the orbit. The order is a big part of the strategy, because a lot of planets affect those next to them. Some copy the planet before them, some power up the one after them, some proc for empty slots, and much more. The orbit starts with eight slots and gains more as the run goes on, so your builds get bigger as you go.

Once your planets are placed, you spin the orbit and each planet activates one after another, adding Score and Mult to your total. You get three spins per sol to reach the quota, and if you reach it, you move on to the next sol. If you still haven't reached it after all three spins, your run ends and you start over.…
