Reminds me of the game Agar.io, It did feel a bit slow at the start and I would have liked a faster move speed by default or alternatively more smaller stars. Apart from that I really enjoyed playing this game for a few minutes or so :)

Pretty fun arcade game. I'm a big fan of the bloom usage. I think you should be a bit faster but otherwise it's great. Be sure to give my game a try too :)

Very nice game! A little improvement and the game would be great.I enjoyed playing it. All the best and Good luck! Do check out our game we need the feedback! - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574293

Interesting idea and smooth/fun controls.  I like your parallax star background and the flash when you grow.  Cool ending shot into the black hole too!  Great job!  Please check out my game if you haven't.

I like the audio and the idea is interesting but it get's boring after a while. I would add some more particles to make it more juicy besides that very cool game :P

I get your back buddy! If we rate all who have lower ratings then we might even get better ratings so start rating most of the least rated games as I'm doing ;) and your game is kinda awesome , cool ,or amazing, keep up the good work and rate me please

[SUMMARY] 📊

Journey of a Black Hole is an agar.io inspired game and a nice entry to the Brackeys Game Jam.

I did not reach the win state, because I have more reviews to write and I got stuck when my star was big enough to be eaten by red rogue stars.

[GAME DESIGN] 🎲

• The Good: Good premise, it works and it's intuitive to learn. The light speed mechanic is good.
• The Bad: There are some rogue red stars that kill you instantly even on the easiest difficuly setting.
• My Advice: Balance and playtest early! Everytime you can, build and send the game to family and friends (or the game jam discord) and gather their feedback. Build often!

[FUN] 🤣

• The Good: Satisfying to see your star grow!
• The Bad: A bit boring at the start.
• My Advice: Same as above!

[INNOVATION] 💡

• The Good: A star that moves and the years count on the bottom left are very original ideas!
• The Bad: A bit derivative. Too similar to agar.io.
• My Advice: Try and make your game yours! Twist the mechanics a bit.

[THEME]📖

• The Good: A black hole! What else can I say?
• The Bad: -
• My Advice: Maybe don't go with the obvious. An original approach to the theme can help you on Game Design as well as on the Innovation category.

[GRAPHICS]🎨

• The Good: Consistent and well done. Nice menus!
• The Bad: Could use some more polish!
• My Advice: You can modify Post Processing on runtime to achieve cool effects!

[AUDIO]🔊

• The Good: Good audio work.
• The Bad: Lacks a bit more of polish overall.
• My Advice: Play with random pitch to make sounds sound different on each play. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource-pitch.html

[FINAL RATING]  🥇

Overall, a good entry to the jam. Good theme use and nice graphics. The Innovation and Fun could get some love.
