As somoene whose zodiac sign is cancer, I appreciate the thumbnail and the play on the funny number. :D

Like others said, the UI is perfect, instant 5 stars. I will need to take notes from you.

The gameplay is simple but I liked how your gravity grows.

My only constructive feedback is that maybe something else would have been more fitting as enemies. Bigger black holes maybe? What can beat a black hole? I don't know either, but the pink spiky things felt a tiny bit out of place.

Overall a very satisfying game to play.

Developer

Glad someone noticed, lol. I'm surprised that, so many really like the UI. Thanks for playing!

Love the accessibility options. The color scheme and the UI design matched nicely too. I mistook the centre blackhole as a rock at the start and was wondering why I couldn't "eat" it, but i figured it out soon enough!

Developer

I'm glad you like it. The thing you can't eat at the start is supposed to be a gold rock, but metallic doesn't work for web, sadly. Thanks for playing!

Love UI, especially the sounds.
Bad camera angle so you cant see some bombs coming.

Thanks, the sounds are from Kenney. I see what you mean, maybe a little bit more zoomed out would help, but the bombs are spatial audio so you can hear the direction they are coming from.

Cool game. Especially the visuals. I didn't realise that it's a clicker game until i saw the video. Impressive options menu!

Developer

Thanks! The clicker part is the Easter egg wild card, lol. Thanks for playing!

Cool game, simple but addicting gameplay loop. One suggestion would be track the amount of rocks the player eats or a have a score system. You could put it in the pause menu if you are trying to keep the minimalist gameplay UI. Some explanations for how the upgrades affect you could be there too.

Impressive amount of options in this game. I think that this is the most comprehensive options menu I've ever seen in a game jam game. Well done!

Developer

It sort of tracks in the top right but not the total and for the upgrades a description would enhance them your right! I'm obsessed with options, lol. Thanks for playing!
