In My Little Universe, you’re handed the reins to your own corner of the cosmos. With just a pickaxe, axe, and sword, you venture through nine distinct planets teeming with resources, secrets, and the occasional monstrous foe. Each new hex you conquer unveils a diverse range of habitats—from foggy caves to soaring peaks—each brimming with mystery and challenges for you to unravel.
Prepare for an environment where trees regrow faster than you can chop, sharks seem to have a vendetta against swimmers, and your seemingly useless spaceship might hold more value than it appears. Whether navigating these worlds alone or with friends, the tips below will help evolve you from a novice castaway to a master of this universe.
Booster Cards & Cosmic Advantage
Booster Cards are your magic keys to altering the rules of My Little Universe. Every swing of your tools or attack on foes gets you closer to unlocking these powerful perks. Want to glide through water like a torpedo? There’s a card for that. Hope to become invisible to enemies until you strike? That’s possible too. However, beware: if you meet your demise, or if those pesky sharks catch you off guard, your cards vanish, so wield them with care.
Fortunately, this game treats death more like a mere setback than a calamity. You’ll pop back into action right where you left off, keeping your resources and upgrades. The catch? A random Booster Card will disappear. If you’ve collected some fantastic cards, maybe rethink that risky move over hot lava.
Exploring Secrets and the Wrecked Spaceship
New players often overlook an invaluable asset: the broken starter ship. Early on, use a pickaxe to give that hunk of junk a few whacks and discover its hidden potential. It’s an opportunity you shouldn’t miss.
While you’re at it, keep a lookout for resource piles scattered about the planets, providing a significant boost when materials are scarce. If you find yourself drowning in wood but short on coins, the mysterious trading NPC is your best bet for a swap.
Also, remember to hunt for twinkling stars; gathering them unlocks eye-catching cosmetic items.
Boss Battles and Survival Tips
Let’s be clear: blocking attacks isn’t an option. Instead, perfect your dodge skills to navigate enemy assaults with agility. Made a mistake? No problem. Your health will recover after a brief pause.
And about those sharks—consider twice before an early swim attempt to faraway islands, as the cosmos loves to punish overconfidence. Once bitten, your precious Booster Card is gone. To keep things interesting, swim faster than your co-op buddy. Of course, for those feeling especially adventurous, you can always try catching a shark!
Boss fights are a whole different story. Bringing a Level 1 sword to the battle makes them unbearable, but a Level 5 weapon lets you slice through foes like they’re made of butter. Upgrading your tools should also be a priority, unless you enjoy watching slow progress bars.
Co-Op Shenanigans: Teamwork or Treachery?
Playing with companions introduces shared resources and universal upgrades, accelerating planet conquest—unless you end up undermining each other’s efforts. Assign specific tasks: one player mines, another fights, and perhaps the third distracts sharks.
For those looking for an additional challenge, turn on Manual Controls in the settings. Every action—from chopping and mining to dodging—requires precise timing. Spiders suddenly feel like adversaries with grudges, and even mundane tasks become rhythm-based challenges.
The Secret of the Credits
A unique twist—My Little Universe doesn’t require you to finish the game to discover everything it has to offer. The Credits section in the menu holds secrets beyond mere names—worth checking out anytime.
