In "My Little Universe," you become the creator of your own cosmic adventure. Armed with a trusty pickaxe, axe, and sword, you’re set to explore and shape nine distinct planets, each brimming with resources, secrets, and looming threats. As you expand your territories, new biomes unfold—ranging from mysterious grottos to towering mountains—each promising unique challenges and hidden gems.
In this universe, trees grow back faster than you can chop them down, sharks seem to have a personal grudge against anyone taking a dip, and your seemingly useless broken spaceship might just be more helpful than it appears. Whether you’re journeying alone or joining forces with friends, these key strategies will help you evolve from a clueless castaway into a master of your universe.
Booster Cards & the Art of Cosmic Privilege
Booster Cards are essentially your magic keys to bending the cosmic rules. Each action—mining, chopping, or taking down foes—progressively brings you closer to acquiring these powerful perks. Fancy zipping through water like a torpedo? There’s a card for that. Want your enemies to ignore you until you make the first move? You can have that too. Remember, if those pesky sharks or an untimely death catch you off guard, you’ll lose a card, so be strategic!
And about death—minimize your worry. Unlike typical survival games, "My Little Universe" treats your demise like a brief pause. You’ll respawn with everything intact, minus one random Booster Card. So, if you’ve got a handful of stellar buffs, perhaps rethink that risky lava dive.
Secrets, Shortcuts, and That Suspicious Spaceship
A common early mistake is neglecting your wrecked starter ship. Big mistake. Once you’ve got your tools, give that seemingly useless chunk a few hits with your pickaxe. You’ll thank us later.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for resource piles scattered across planets. They’re lifesavers when supplies run low. Should you have an abundance of wood but need coins desperately, find the mysterious trader NPC who specializes in resource swaps.
And don’t overlook those twinkling stars—they unlock snazzy cosmetics.
Bosses, Sharks, and Other Not-So-Great Ideas
Let’s clear this up first: you cannot block attacks, so dodging is crucial. Nail the timing, and you’ll gracefully dodge enemy strikes like a space ninja. If you misstep? No big deal—your health will naturally regenerate after a few seconds.
On the subject of sharks, you might be tempted to swim off to distant islands early, but the cosmos loves teaching overconfident explorers a lesson. If you become shark bait, prepare to say goodbye to a Booster Card. Pro tip: swim faster than your co-op buddy. Every explorer for themselves. Ultra Pro Tip: yes, you can actually catch a shark!
When it comes to bosses, they’re not to be taken lightly. A measly Level 1 sword will make battles feel like a trip to the dentist. Level up to 5, and you’ll slice through foes like a cosmic food processor. The same applies to tools—higher tiers mean faster resource gathering. Focus on upgrades unless you’re fond of watching progress bars creep along sluggishly.
Co-Op Chaos: Teamwork or Treachery?
Playing with friends? Shared resources and universal upgrades mean you’ll cover ground quickly—unless you’re more interested in sabotaging each other. It’s wise to assign roles: one person mines, one tackles combat, and one "volunteers" as a distraction for the sharks.
For added excitement, try activating Manual Controls in the settings, where chopping, mining, and dodging require precise button presses. Suddenly, spiders become your arch-nemeses, and mining turns into a rhythm game.
The Credits Trick (No Waiting Necessary)
Unlike many games, "My Little Universe" doesn’t make you finish it to uncover its secrets. Simply visit the Credits section in the menu whenever you like—there’s more to discover than just a names list.
"My Little Universe" is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Go above and beyond in this vibrant cosmos, facing challenges, collecting resources, and uncovering secrets—all with friends by your side for the adventure of a lifetime.
