The good stuff:
- Music and sound design is great
- Graphics look nice, UI is fitting and consistent
The stuff to improve in:
- The difficulty curve. The game goes from a chill "mining" game to an OH GOD WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING ME at scale 3. This is actually why I died right there, as I wasn't prepared for a sudden appearance of enemies.
- Just as SwitchyAC pointed out, the scale up button is unclear. It took me 6 minutes of just doing stuff to figure out that it costs 6000 matter to go to the next scale, and not eating a number of rocks for example. This could be easily fixed by adding a pointing arrow above the button when you can scale up or something similar.
Overall, it's not the type of game I play often but I enjoyed my time with it, and the music is definetly the strongest part of the game.
