About Critical Point

Captain! Take command of the Devourer and lead humanity’s civilization toward the far reaches of the cosmos!In the near future, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way enters an expansion phase, tearing countless planets into dust with its overwhelming gravity.
Become humanity’s last hope! In Project Critical Point, pilot the Devourer—a planetary-fueled ark—to guide humanity across galaxies to a new home and preserve the flame of civilization.

Trigger Fission Reactions

During your voyage, you’ll encounter 40+ consumable planets. Maximizing energy extraction from them is your top priority.
By arranging and activating modules, trigger fission when particles in a grid reach ≥4, releasing energy. Post-fission particles shoot into adjacent grids, igniting chain reactions from other critical-point particles!

Collect Diverse Plugins

Plugins are crystallizations of human ingenuity. Unlock 35 types of plugins—crafted from planetary debris by the tech team, salvaged from alien civilizations, or earned through special events.

Each plugin has unique functions. Only by mastering their effects and strategically placing them can farther you journey into the cosmos.

Navigate the Starry Sea

Though your destination is set, the next stop is yours to choose!
On the bridge, pick one of three destinations to warp. If none suit you, spend telescope energy to rescan.

Negotiate with Alien Civilizations

Beyond humanity, the cosmos teems with other intelligent life.
Encounter them, choose how to interact, and gain resources! Beware—not all beings are friendly, nor are all civilizations hostile. Choose your responses wisely!

Face Greater Challenges

Challenge yourself by starting closer to the black hole or piloting different Arks. Each choice offers unique experiences, with more updates planned!

A variety of retro styles

Not only green, we have also prepared other display effects for you, the captain.Begin at the Azure Homeworld.
Humanity’s cradle will grant its "firstborn" one final act of love: becoming the first stepping stone on your cosmic journey.
Good luck, The Last Captain of Homo Species.

Recommended Jul 20, 2025
Good game, but needs some rebalancing. The basic concept is fun and engaging. It has roguelike elements, where you choose which level you want based on the rewards it gives, which is nice. There's only one small issue...you can softlock your game really quickly once you get a really good setup. I did, and while I was happy that it was pumping out energy, I quickly realized...it's not stopping at all. I don't know how the developer plans to fix this, but I had no way to stop the reaction. What was a really good run suddenly turned into a feedback loop that I could not escape without destroying my run's progress. Which is a shame, because I got harshly punished for optimal play.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
