Collapsing Star
A downloadable game
You - the capitan of the asteroid lander - landed as usual on a very little asteroid belt. Your rocket got damaged, so you started looking for its parts. Unfortunately, as soon as space dust gathered around the belt, the created star began to collapse. Now you must find all the pieces before the star burns the belt, you and your rocket.
There is 7 rocket parts to collect. If you die, you must collect everything again. Map also contains hourglasses, which collecting stops the star from collapsing for 25 seconds (or 20 in evil mode).
Controls:
- Space / Arrow Up / Left mouse button - pushing from asteroids.
- F11 - (outside a menu) turn fullscreen on or off.
- M - (inside a main menu) changes game modes.
As you finish the game, you may want to increase difficulty level. In the main menu you can choose between easy, hard and evil mode. Exact values are visible inside the source code, but generally player moves slower and star is smaller (so there is less time).
Game was made using python and pygame-ce with moderngl for Pygame Community Spring Jam 2025.

Install instructions
Make sure python3 is installed (I've been using python 3.13.2, but I think it sould work on older versions as well), pygame-ce (normal pygame doesn't work), moderngl and screeninfo. Version specifications are inside requirements.txt.
Download the zip, extract it, go into "src/" and run "main.py". Don't run from a parent directory (e.g. "py src/main.py") - python imports and relative paths may break - enter "src/" directory first.
If you face any problems on linux, please read README.md and FOR-LINUX-USERS.md. Game should run flawlessly on windows and linux, but was not tested on mac os.
