Definitely appreciate the simplicity of the game play! The mechanics are good, and I enjoy the visuals, and the story was pretty funny, too! Great job on this one!

Loved the use of physical collisions altering the initial trajectory of other objects being flung about.

I was confused by the non-typical objects floating around at first, but I came up with the theory that the black hole ingame is in fact a super-massive black hole that is expanding swallowing up our universe.

This would explain the warning at the start of the story and why I see stuff such as doors and sofas being tossed about - Earth was eventually caught in the horizon, starting near the Middle East, and several Ikeas.

Cool and funny game. You can survice  surprisingly long by using spaghettification/staying in the middle. :)

Very nice work! The surprises were awesome and funny, especially on level 8. 😁

Do you have plans on developing this further after the jam?

Enjoyable game! Like how the spinning causes an urgency that your in trouble. The blackhole does cause some funny stuff to the player, though wonder if the head was suppose to get affected too? 

A challenging and fun game.

Amazing mechanics! Really enjoyed the gameplay and the choice of assets!

Haha this is hilarious! After I gave it an honest try I played again a few times just to sit in the black hole and stretch myself out for fun. I also liked that the obstacles interacted with each other which makes you think fast! Great job!

I really liked your game. I didn't realise that the black hole was distorting the character til my 2nd attempt. nice mechanic to keep it interesting!

nice mechanic

Great work on your game! It's really fun how you can stretch out the dude. I couldn't tell, but would that change the size of your collision volume to make it harder to dodge? I really liked the character design and the distortion of things by the black hole.

Yeah, we stretch the collision boxes to match what you see.  So once you are stretched and spinning it's REALLY hard. :)

Haha I love that he gets spaghettified if staying by the black hole long.

Great effort on your submission

That was fun! Not sure if it was a design mechanic but I stopped seeing any health popping up after level 3 and it just became a dodge fest of furniture. haha Good job on the game. :D

Loved the stability concept and the visuals. Everything looks great together.

Really well put together - loved the animated speech and it was funny to see the couch and twilight zone door show up.

Really nice little jam game you got here. Nice take on the theme and everything else is solid.

Submitted(+1)

Great game, that was fun bouncing around with stretchy arms! It made me chuckle. Really fun to play and addicting!

Submitted(+1)

Seemed unusual, not exactly what i was expecting by the game name.

nicely rounded submission i did try and stretch his head alot but all i could stretch were his arms. think i did exactly the opposite of what you are supposed to do.

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! It was funny to see random furniture being dragged into the black hole. The game feels polished and is fun.

Submitted(+1)

Spectacular Game. I really loved that the blackhole will start to warp the player model making it harder to dodge. The stability mechanic so interesting and fun. This was just a lot of fun to play. The graphics perfectly match the feel of the game. This is feels polished! You knocked this one out of the park. Great Job!

This game made me laugh, it was fun to see the character pulled apart and smashed to pieces. Great work! The health was a bit overkill though as I was spinning in the black hole and kept getting fully healed and the UI looks a bit faded in 4k, are you using text mesh pro? other than that though it's an interesting game and has a great effect on the black hole.
