Am I the only one that bought it for Solar 2? Completely awesome game - fantastic for when you only have a few minutes. You start as an asteroid cruising the galaxy, smash into more asteroids and you grow into a planet, star, black hole. Along the way you have life spawning on your planet(s) fighting off other life forms, completing challenging and sometimes bizarre side quests. Death is no biggie, and its all about exploration. I love it.
- yohui 14y agoI didn't buy HBA5 for Solar 2, but I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorites from this bundle, along with Beat Hazard Ultra (the PC version of which I had already played and enjoyed). Simply flying around as an asteroid is alright, but the real fun starts once you've smashed into enough rocks to become a planet. Then you can collect a whole swarm of asteroid, orbiting around you. Colliding with asteroids now reduces your mass instead of growing you; you have to swallow the rocks in orbit to do so. Once you become a star, collecting whole planets (with their own orbiting asteroids) is even neater. Along the way, the inhabitants of planets will build little ships and planetary shields to defend themselves against rival systems... until you swallow their homeworld, anyways. I've yet to build a multi-stellar system before becoming a black hole and gobbling up my orbitals, but that's my next goal. If nothing else, I'm glad HBA5 introduced me to this game I'd somehow overlooked.
