Get News of Boxwood Studio Hello, we are Boxwood Studio, a two-person indie game development team currently focused on creating strategy-based indie games! Critical Point is a retro sci-fi-themed casual strategy game, refined from a Game Jam prototype. We hope to escape reality briefly with space-loving players, offering a 30-minute interstellar journey. About the Game Captain! Take command of the Devourer and lead humanity’s civilization toward the far reaches of the cosmos! In the near future, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way enters an expansion phase, tearing countless planets into dust with its overwhelming gravity. Become humanity’s last hope! In Project Critical Point , pilot the Devourer —a planetary-fueled ark—to guide humanity across galaxies to a new home and preserve the flame of civilization. Trigger Fission Reactions During your voyage, you’ll encounter 40+ consumable planets . Maximizing energy extraction from them is your top priority. By arranging and activating modules, trigger fission when particles in a grid reach ≥4 , releasing energy. Post-fission particles shoot into adjacent grids, igniting chain reactions from other critical-point particles! Collect Diverse Plugins Plugins are crystallizations of human ingenuity. Unlock 35 types of plugins—crafted from planetary debris by the tech team, salvaged from alien civilizations, or earned through special events. Each plugin has unique functions. Only by mastering their effects and strategically placing them can farther you journey into the cosmos. Navigate the Starry Sea Though your destination is set, the next stop is yours to choose! On the bridge, pick one of three destinations to warp. If none suit you, spend telescope energy to rescan. Negotiate with Alien Civilizations Beyond humanity, the cosmos teems with other intelligent life. Encounter them, choose how to interact, and gain resources! Beware—not all beings are friendly, nor are all civilizations hostile. Choose your responses wisely! Face Greater Challenges Challenge yourself by starting closer to the black hole or piloting different Arks. Each choice offers unique experiences, with more updates planned! A variety of retro styles Not only green, we have also prepared other display effects for you, the captain. Begin at the Azure Homeworld. Humanity’s cradle will grant its 'firstborn' one final act of love: becoming the first stepping stone on your cosmic journey. Good luck, The Last Captain of Homo Species.
