This is very fun and addicting, but it has very bad at explaining how it works to the player.
You can zoom and pan but nowhere does it say that you can, and it's very important.

I do like the art, very well done, but confusing at first.

I invite you to read the itch page before playing a game, they're is a line saying -read before playing- in bold lmao
I didn't had the time to polish the game as I wanted due to my full time job


Anyway, thanks for your feedback :)

Ok, I understand, but you could've simply put inside the instructions within the game that you can Pan & Zoom because not everyone will read the description. I downloaded the game from the voting page in the Jam. In my own game, I don't explain very well how to play in-game and most people would do things the wrong way because they just downloaded and started playing.

Still very fun game though, and I actually became the galaxy so that's cool

Very polished and addicting game. At first I was a little confused how to use the mining laser, but after I learned how it works the game was really good to play. If you could have added some audio and a browser version I bet this would have been one of the top entires of the game jam.

Developer

Both had to be done at some point; but I lacked of time because of my full time job ^^"
But they'll be implemented at the end of the jam, I want to work more on this game :)

thanks for your feedback, it means a lot.

It was a fun game, I enjoyed it quite a lot.

I kept growing my drone vertically to avoid incoming astroids. it took me a while to figure out mouse wheel is used for zooming in and out. The game unlocked after I realised these two factors. After that I was having fun growing and balancing the energy consumption :)

This was fun. It was satisfying growing enough to become the universe. I maybe wish there was more depth to the gameplay somehow? But maybe its just because there was no sound. I thought this was very creative and well done. Thanks!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback ! I wish there was some more depth too, but I'm full alone on this one and my actual job is taking me too much time these days, I got a very bad timing. But I think I'll update the game in the near future ;)
