Perpetuity

Time is short and heroes are needed as an artificial star destabilizes its orbiting planets and threatens their inhabitants with oblivion. Players place workers to gather resources, repair and upgrade systems, build ships, and launch missions to evacuate alien villages. Lower-level workers become less effective as conditions change, forcing choices between maintaining operations and funding rescues. The star hinders evacuation efforts through abilities affecting gravity, space, time, and matter. Cooperative play requires saving every village and worker, while competitive play rewards repairs, exploration, evacuations, and resource collection.
