A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

In To The Stars, your goal is to save this species of bug from extinction on planet XE-13-2-2.  To move the bug click anywhere on the screen and they will move towards that location.  The main goal is to save as many bugs by bringing them to the spaceship which is located somewhere in the level.  Enemies will try to eat the bugs, but the bugs can defend themselves.  After defending themselves, bugs may evolve to become stronger and more resilient against future predators.

Neat concept, nice music, nice environment. Bugs seem to just freeze randomly and when you get to the fog section, it feels just like kinda sad and the map is bigger. Linux instructions need a `chmod +x {executable name} ` in the instructions but it doesn't work anyway because the custom cursor for some reason doesn't work. However, the Windows version works on Linux through Wine with only one problem - if the window loses focus, it can't get it back (though that might just be the window manager I'm using, has some bug in the focus behavior I'm using iirc but haven't noticed problems in other applications). Didn't end up beating the game since all of my bugs froze. Would be good to have some indicator that an enemy was marked for attack.
