Guide to Survival in My Little Universe: An Explorer’s Handbook

Explore the vast possibilities of nine colorful planets with just a pickaxe, axe, and sword, as you expand your territory one hex at a time. Harvest invaluable resources, discover new worlds, and stand firm against alien threats. You can even team up in a local co-op for up to four players to journey through your universe together.

In “My Little Universe,” you are the master builder of your cosmos. Armed with three essential tools: a pickaxe, axe, and sword, you’ll embark on a journey across nine unique planets. Each planet is packed with secrets, resources, and daunting monsters. Every new hexagon of land you unlock opens the door to fresh biomes brimming with secrets and challenges—from misty caves to towering peaks waiting for discovery.

Here, trees regrow faster than your axe can swing, sharks seem to have a grudging vendetta against swimmers, and that busted spaceship you see isn’t as useless as it looks. Whether you venture solo or with friends, these smart tips will transform you from a clueless castaway into a universe-conquering pro.

### Booster Cards & the Advantages of Cosmic Privilege

Imagine Booster Cards as your VIP pass to rewriting the rules of the game world. Every bit of mining, chopping, or battling pushes you closer to unlocking powerful perks. If you’ve always wanted to swim as fast as a torpedo, there’s a card for that. Yearn for enemies to ignore you until you make the first move? That’s covered too. But beware—death, or those pesky sharks, will strip away these bonuses, so choose when to use them wisely.

Speaking of death—it’s not as severe here as in other survival games. In “My Little Universe,” dying is akin to a quick coffee break. You’ll reappear instantly, keeping all your resources and upgrades intact. The setback? You lose one random Booster Card, so if you’ve got a bunch of extraordinary buffs, tread carefully around that pool of lava.

### Secrets, Shortcuts, and That Suspicious Spaceship

Many newcomers make a critical error: overlooking their dilapidated starter ship. Big mistake. Once you have your tools, take a swing at that “useless” scrap heap with your pickaxe. Trust us, it’s worth the effort.

Meanwhile, be on the lookout for resource piles scattered across the planets. They are lifesavers when your materials run low. And if you find yourself with too much wood but need coins, seek out the mysterious trader NPC—he’s your guy for swapping resources.

Don’t miss those twinkling stars either—they unlock flashy cosmetics that joyfully spice up your visual adventure.

### Bosses, Sharks, and Risky Maneuvers

Clear this up—there’s no blocking attacks here. Your survival depends on dodging, so mastering the timing for each dodge is crucial. Mess up, and it’s okay—your health will start regenerating in a few seconds.

Now, about those sharks. You could attempt that early swim to far-off islands… but the universe loves to mess with your overconfidence. If you become shark food, you’ll say goodbye to your precious Booster Card. Here’s a tip: swim faster than your co-op partner—it’s every adventurer for themselves. Bonus tip: with the right strategy, you can catch a shark!

As for bosses, they’re another story. A Level 1 sword makes boss fights feel like pulling teeth, so aim for Level 5, and enemies won’t stand a chance against your cosmic blender. The same applies to your tools—upgrade for double-speed mining. Unless you enjoy waiting, prioritize those upgrades.

### Co-Op Chaos: Teamwork or Treachery?

When playing with friends, the shared resources and universal upgrades mean exploring planets becomes a breeze—when you’re not busy sabotaging one another, that is. Assign roles: one can focus on mining, another on battling, and perhaps, one brave soul as shark bait.

For an added twist, engage Manual Controls in settings, making every action, from chopping to dodging, demand specific button presses. Suddenly, every spider becomes a personal rival and mining a rhythmic challenge.

### The Credits Trick (Instant Access)

Unlike most games, “My Little Universe” doesn’t require you to conquer it to unveil its secrets. Just peek into the Credits section in the menu anytime—there’s more than a simple name list hidden there.
