Guide to Surviving and Exploring My Little Universe

Dive into a colorful cosmos in “My Little Universe,” where your journey begins with nothing more than a pickaxe, axe, and sword. These humble tools are your key to conquering nine distinct planets, unlocking new territories one hex at a time. As you gather resources, you’ll open doors to new worlds and fend off alien adversaries. Better yet, you can join forces with up to three friends in local co-op to explore this universe together.

At the heart of “My Little Universe” is your role as creator and explorer. Using your trio of tools, you’ll venture across nine planets, each brimming with resources, challenges, and alien creatures. Each hexagon of land you reveal brings new landscapes, from foggy caves to imposing mountains, ready for you to explore and conquer.

In this universe, nature is both bountiful and relentless. Trees grow back faster than you can cut them down, and swimming is perilous with sharks constantly on your tail. Even your seemingly useless broken spaceship holds more potential than you’d think. Whether journeying alone or with friends, these tips can transform you from a starstruck novice to a masterful universe builder.

Understanding Booster Cards is crucial to mastering “My Little Universe.” These cards are your passport to bending the cosmic rules. Whether you yearn to swim like a missile or want a sneak attack advantage over foes, there’s a card to suit your strategy. But beware — die, especially by shark attack, and you’ll lose a card, so deploy them wisely.

Don’t let death dishearten you. Unlike typical survival games, dying here is like taking a quick break. You’ll respawn instantly with your resources and upgrades intact, losing just one Booster Card. So, avoid reckless risks like lava dives unless you’ve weighed the consequences.

A common mistake early adventurers make is underestimating their broken spaceship. Once you have your tools, channel your energy into that battered craft. Trust us, the payoff is worth your efforts. Also, be on the lookout for scattered resource piles around the planets. These are invaluable when you’re running low on supplies. And, if you’re flush with wood but short on coins, seek out the mysterious trader NPC for some beneficial trades.

Stars aren’t just pretty; they unlock cosmetic items, so gather them as you explore.

When encountering bosses and sharks, remember: blocking isn’t an option. Dodging is your ally. Hone your timing and move like a cosmic ninja through enemy strikes. When mistakes happen, your health will automatically recover after a few seconds. As for sharks, they make risky swimming partners. If you’re feeling bold and the water beckons, remember that your Booster Card is at stake. And here’s a tip: swim faster than your buddy if it comes down to it. Super Pro Tip: It’s actually possible to catch a shark!

Boss encounters demand respect and preparation. A Level 1 sword will feel tedious, like pulling teeth, but upgrade to Level 5 and slicing through enemies will be a breeze. The same goes for your tools — better tiers mean faster progress. Prioritize these upgrades if you want to avoid crawling progress bars.

Playing with pals? Shared resources and universal upgrades let you zip through planets unless, of course, you decide to sabotage each other. Assign tasks: one mines, another handles combat, and one selflessly volunteers as shark bait. For a tougher challenge, switch to Manual Controls — this makes every action a precise task. Suddenly, spiders become personal foes, and mining morphs into a rhythm game.
