Hi. It's the 5th game I play in the game jam. And it was a really cool experience. Here's my opinion.
(Also I'm sorry if my english is not perfect, I'm french)

Goods:
-Evidently, the whole artistic direction is super cool. The few graphics are in a style that I really love (it remind me a  little of The Swapper). The music is so well done, it fits the mood perfectly. And the fact that it's progressive (at least I had this impression) is really cool. Just a big GG for that.

Things to change (in my opinion obviously):

-The player position is a little bit weird, so at the beginning I had difficulties knowing in which direction I would go if I boosted. (nothing really important, because after a few boosts I started to know the controls pretty well)
-The space felt a little empty (technically real space is empty but...). Your gif on your presentation page features a lot of littles planets, and I would have loved to see them, at least in the background, or maybe some stars. Because sometimes I was just travelling in a blue background.
-To follow this idea, the more you eat (so the more you grow up), the more the "food" (that looks like stars by the way) become smaller and smaller, arrived at a point where you can't see them anymore.

Generally:
A really good game with a really cool artistic direction, especially the music, but it feels a little empty at some point.

The music is actually a 10 minute loop that just flows nicely with the general pace I predicted people would play the game at (good job me!), and yeah I really need to practice getting game feel right I struggled alot just getting the controls to feel good. The universe generation was really tricky to get going I had initially planned for there to be more than the current amount of objects to eat all the way up to black holes so food -> asteroids -> big asteroids -> moons -> planets -> suns -> solar systems -> galaxies ....etc but I couldn't figure out a good way to program it in a manner that ran at more than 5 fps in the limited time frame for the jam lol. Glad you enjoyed the art though, thanks for playing!
