I was not expecting that audio coming out of the black hole, but it made me chuckle! I feel like the camera couldv'e lerped a little faster to the player and I was a little confused as to how to play the first few rounds. Spirtes and music were great and this game really suited the theme, great job!

Thanks for playing! Yeh, I agree. After the jam I played the game a bit and I realized there was a lack of clarity in terms of the "get close to the planets but not too close" part of the game. Great feedaback :)

Very interesting concept! Loved the visuals and sound, took me a minute to figure out how the meter worked though

Agreed. The meter wasn't locked tighthly enough to the game. There wasn't enough real consequences attached to it. Something to improve on next time :) Thanks for the feeback.

This game is great! Great visuals and music. So sad, I just want the universe to love me... but I keep destroying it. Definitely fits the theme!

:D :D Really funny, and good graphics! Also, I think it's the only game in the history of jams with a "Quit" option, instead of just ALT+F4 :D

Hahaha. I've been streaming some play throughs and I feel like not being able to quit is a running gag lol. 

Thanks for playing. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Who knew a black hole could be so adorable! Well, until it consumes the whole universe of course...

Loved the aesthetic, and the music was spot on, was very zen just floating around trying not to grow too big, but then of course it all goes rapidly to hell when you start uncontrollably consuming everything! :D

Good job!
