Love this entry! I think you gave the perfect amount of preamble to explain the game, and the gameplay itself felt intuitive and fast to pick up. After collecting a bit of stuff and starting to worry I'd be too big to get between the obstacles, it was a perfectly timed and pleasant surprise to have the zoom out occur each time. I also love that the end of the game tells you that the hilarious cobbled-together mess of spaceparts you've accumulated is a "space station." I think we were on a similar wave length with our entries for this jam :P Overall, great work on this one!

Great little game, without reading the description I was pleasantly surprised by the scale mechanic. Really good job!

nice idea, nicely developed.   I liked the game

When the screen started filling up I was thinking "this is going to be over quickly" but then the camera zoomed out and it all made sense. I like the branching structures that result from surviving a while! I don't feel like I have much choice in the matter if a red thing goes down the middle of the screen though.

Overall a well-polished game to have made in 4 days. Well done!

simple and fun! the core mechanics is executed well! 

The concept of space adjoining pixel art and tight controls

Keep it up :>

"That's no moon..."
Simple yet fun, i found the mechanic to turn your space-ju-... space-station in the makings with A and S really interesting.

Love it! A simple yet engaging design. It reminds me of my own submission, for obvious reasons, but this is of course its own thing. Nice work!

Very clever. Love the zoom out scaling and the shaders that look like nebulae.

Really fun to play, and I like how you zoom out as you get bigger!

So satisfying to see the space station get humungous after a while! Great work.

I WAS HUGE, I love how the screen goes moves away when you are bigger, sadly there was one part with a lot of red strong steroids and I couldn’t get past it. Was fun to play!

Pretty fun! Zooming out after the station reaches a certain size was such a cool effect. I really enjoyed that. It helped capture the scale of how much you'd grown. Nice job!

This was fun!! I enjoyed trying to make my station into weird shapes as well as making it as big as possible. I like the way it zooms out periodically once you get to a certain size, and how it becomes harder to avoid the red junk as you grow.
Here's my attempt at making my station shaped like a big humanoid robot:

Sometimes it behaves a bit weird when I move my mouse too quickly. Parts connect to the station without being connected to it. But overall it's pretty nice! I like the way the game zooms in to give you space and it's very satisfying to see your structure getting bigger and bigger.

The first time the game zoomed out I let out an "ooooooOOOOO nice"! Good take on the theme, solid presentation and polish. The sound effect of collecting "scientific apparatus" did get repetitive though

Wow, cool game! I really liked that you can sacrifice parts of your station to destroy the red blocks, which allows you to fix your mistakes, if you end up with an inconvenient shape; and also how quickly things spiral out of control if at some point your station is destroyed too much

Very solid entry -- you stuck to the theme very well. The game ran smoothly, the objectives were clear, and it was very satisfying to grow that spaceship up haha.

Very nice visual style and ambiance with the music! It obviously feels a bit unfinished (although leaps and bounds beyond what I managed) but the idea seems nice and I am interested in where more you would take this!
