Description

Go back to the arcade to explore planets, flip some switches, and bring light to the universe.

Take on the role of the Cosmonaut and adventure through the galaxy in your quest to illuminate the universe. The player must travel to various planets, navigate internal mazes to reach each planet's core, flip the switch at the center of each planet, and then escape before it turns into a star. Each planet you light up allows you to push further into deep space and progress on your mission to bring light to the universe.

From a technical standpoint, Hello World is set in a procedural universe of near infinite scale and scope. Every planet, every platform, every object is placed according to a difficulty controlling director, that works to slowly raise the challenge of the game the further the player travels into the universe.
