In EPOCH, you play through the major phases of the creation of the universe. In the beginning there was nothing, then there was a big bang and you come to life as a tiny quark. Quickly amass matter until you become a super massive black hole.

  • Collect all matter in the universe
  • Boost into matter larger than you 
  • Boosting will cause you to eject some mass

Created in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 45 Jam. The theme was "Start with nothing". 

Controls

  • Mouse:
    • Point to move
    • Click to boost

great game but sometimes confusing what can/can't run into without dying.

Either always all enemies merging together, so theres nothing in your eat size (especially start of the game if you dont immediately eat everything you see),
or there is jsut no food, at all.you fly through an empty space, only occasionally an enemy too big for yourself. (not just at end game, way before)

short

Seems like no matter how much matter I collect, it says it collected 2.

cool

Very good, love the art style.

I wish restart wouldn't bring me back to the title screen every time. Even though the transitions and colors are very nice.

It would be cool if when you restarted the game as the final black hole you would explode and cause the big bang that starts the game.

I'm having a little trouble because I am in the first stage and then I get too far away. There's no more matter. I try to go back, but there's no matter anywhere... I've only absorbed one :') 

EDIT: Okay I'm having a lot of trouble. I keep running into dead ends. Also, I need to gather 5K when I'm only in the first stage, is that intended? It gets hard when everyone's a star and you're not :') 

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I think I found a bug I was boosting and eating and when I turned into a Cosmic Epoch and I was almost completely invisible could only see my trail

witnessing and then destroying the entire universe has never been so cute !

fun game and chill, 5/5

The ending game me a sort of 'what have I done feeling' you literally destroy the universe.
The ominous music as you slowly grow and consume everything is pretty scary.
I just wanted to see what was the next stage after supermassive black hole!
