In My Little Universe, you’re more than just a player; you’re the master of your own cosmic playground. With your trusty pickaxe, axe, and sword, you’ll embark on a journey across nine diverse planets, each brimming with secrets, resources, and formidable foes. As you expand your territory, hex by hex, new biomes such as misty grottos and towering mountains open up, each with its own mysteries to unravel.
Imagine a universe where trees regrow faster than you can cut them, sharks have it out for anyone in the water, and what seems like a useless old spaceship might just hold value after all. Whether you’re venturing solo or with friends, these helpful tips will elevate you from a clueless wanderer to a universe-conquering wizard.
Booster Cards & Cosmic Privileges
Booster Cards are your golden tickets to breaking the game’s rules. Every swing of your pickaxe or swing of your sword edges you closer to unlocking these massive advantages. Want to glide through water like a torpedo? There’s a card for that. Prefer enemies to ignore you until you make the first move? Absolutely possible. But remember, dying or those persistent sharks will take these perks away, so use them carefully.
On the subject of dying—don’t worry too much. Unlike most survival games, My Little Universe sees death as a mere pause. You respawn instantly, keeping your resources and upgrades. The only catch? You lose one random Booster Card, so maybe reconsider that daring lava plunge if you’ve stockpiled awesome buffs!
Secrets, Shortcuts, and the Mysterious Spaceship
New players often overlook their battered spaceship, but don’t make that mistake. After acquiring your tools, give that rusty hunk a whack with your pickaxe and see what unfolds—trust us, the payoff is worth it.
Also, watch for the scattered resources across planets. They’ll save the day when you’re running low. Overflowing with wood but short on coins? The mysterious trader NPCs are your answer for resource trading.
And don’t forget to grab those twinkling stars—they lead to some snazzy cosmetic unlocks.
Bosses, Sharks, and Avoiding Poor Choices
Let’s be clear: you’ll need to dodge like your life depends on it since blocking attacks isn’t an option. Learn the timing, and you’ll navigate enemy strikes effortlessly. Mess up your dodges? No sweat—just wait a few seconds, and your health will bounce back.
About swimming to unknown islands: don’t underestimate those sharks. Sure, you might feel adventurous, but the universe has a sneaky way of humbling the overly brave. Lose a Booster Card upon being chowed down—and here’s a tip: swim faster than your co-op buddy. Extra hint: you can actually catch a shark.
As for bosses, don’t face them with a flimsy Level 1 sword if you can help it. Upgrading to Level 5 turns you into a cosmic blender, slicing through enemies with ease. The same logic applies to mining tools—higher levels mean less waiting around. Focus on upgrades unless you enjoy watching progress bars crawl at a snail’s pace.
Co-Op Chaos: Teamwork or Betrayal?
When playing with friends, the game shares resources and upgrades, so you’ll bolt through planets—unless you’re busy sabotaging each other. Assign roles wisely: one could mine, another fights, while someone volunteers as shark bait.
Thirsting for more challenge? Switch on Manual Controls in the settings. Now every action means a precise button must be pressed. Suddenly, spiders become personal nemeses, and mining turns into a rhythmic feat.
The Credits Trick: No Completion Necessary
Unlike many games, you don’t need to finish My Little Universe to discover its hidden gems. Visit the Credits section in the menu anytime—it’s more than just a list of names.
My Little Universe is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Go on, and blaze your trail across the cosmos!
