So I just recently discovered this game after stumbling upon it on Youtube through Markaplier. The game game out in 2015 according to Steam (and is still in early access for...whatever reason) and it has raving reviews. Basically, the premise is Video Game Cruelty Potential on a galactic scale where you can absolutely fuck around with everything in any way possible. Shrink the sun until it becomes a black hole? Go nuts. Smash the moon into Earth The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask style? Done. Slingshot asteroid sized globs of water into Venus? Sure!

I saw another guy who kept smashing meteors into the same spot on Earth until it created a huge hole exposing the other side. He also somehow made it where half the Earth was molten lava and the other half was an arctic wasteland.

Remember, these idiots drive, fuck, and vote. Not always in that order.

Probably tidally locked the planet.

Eh... It's a fun novelty at least, but ultimately lacks long-term replayability even for a sandbox game. Sure, fucking over the Solar System at you fingertips is enjoyable and all, but only for a short while and wears itself thin very quickly. The most fun I had with Universe Sandbox is the creation side of things where I created custom solar systems for worldbuilding experiments. With so little incentives to keep playing beyond that though, and given how little content there really is, it's just meh...
