This is quite engaging! I was playing for a while trying to figure out what the next things would evolve into.

Developer

Glad it got you hooked for a while!

Was good

Enjoyable little game. Fun clicker game. Somehow a dino evolved into a spaceship x).

Thank you

Fun incremental. As someone else said, this could be stretched into a long game, with maybe smaller steps than 10, and other upgrades to buy. Good job!

Thank you!

Neat idea. Wondering what the next bigger object will be keeps you going. :) The game does not perform well when there are many objects on screen at once colliding with each other though

Developer

I had 4 extra objects lined up that I unfortunately didn't get to implement: [blackhole, bigger star, supernova, solar system]. unfortunately beyond that there isn't a lot of interesting stuff to add if I wanted to keep going in steps of 10x beside the milky way and the universe. But yea the game definitely start to struggle when there are a lot of objects on screen haha

Really awesome job! Reckon this could make for a great mobile game if you decide to expand on it.

Developer

Thank you! The web build did end up working on my android phone although the experience is far from ideal haha.

This game was a fun idle game! It was funny to get the game to lose frames when you create too many "organisms". I wonder if creating some sort of cap on the number of allowed "organisms" on the screen at a time would prevent the screen from getting too crowded.

Good execution on a theme-fitting idea overall! Love the art as well.

Developer

Thank you!
Yeah the game can't quit handle big numbers of Physics Objects haha.
Glad you liked the art!

it really feels nice going from an ant to a t-rex soo fast

Thanks! this is my first "progression based" game so glad it felt good to play!

Submitted

This is definitely the first game that let me combine two T-Rexes into a rocket. And then fill the entire screen with suns until the physics glitch out.

Btw, was this your inspiration? ;) https://htwins.net/scale2/

Developer

Yesssss although I got it from this site https://scaleofuniverse.com/en also the mobile evolution games like cow evolution etc, I kind of wanted to do a mix of those two things.

at first I thought this was a cute, if unremarkable, little idle game, but then I made mark brown and it became a 10/10 game

Developer

Hell yeah! All it takes is two bird hehe

Fun little game, I love the art!

Developer

Thank you!
Had a lot of fun making the sprites

fits the theme perfectly! even though all of the pixel art is amazing, my most favorite object would have to be the pixelated mark brown with the GMTK sweatshirt. great job!

Developer

Yeaeaea I hoped he would be recognizable, but you even got his merge from it!
Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted
