Different kinds of objects (stars, Dyson spheres, comets, pulsars, you name it) follow correspondingly different rules. As the game progresses, the cross-over interactions between these objects will become increasingly interesting.
The endgame unlocks a series of turn-based challenges, in which each turn acts as a micro-puzzle within the greater endeavor, adding a whole new layer of thinking. This series is one of multiple post-game excursions into experimental mechanics, amounting to a full, extra game's worth of content on top of the main game. This is a game which vows to "go for it" on any worthwhile ideas, no matter the scope.
