I love it. You've taken an original spin on the theme and the gameplay is very fun to play around with.

Simple and fun, congratulations

Very nice, congrats. I think maybe it could be more comfortable to know with more clarity what asteroids can be eaten. Also I took me 5min to actually get one asteroid, but maybe I'm just bad at this

The mood you've set it really nice. It is really hard to move though.. :(

Nice music, but a little repetetive.
Planens and Sun are safe for visiting)

Nice and relaxing game! It's not always easy to estimate the mass of those asteroids. But overall, good job!

Nice game ! :D
Really close to both theme and fun to play !

Love it!! I played for too long x_x Once you get used to the controls it's really fun. I will be recommending this game to my friends.

Please add a mute button next time :D Because I want to play this game for a long time but maybe put my own music on in the back. :)

Great job combining the themes, and I really like the music. If you were to change anything, maybe have hitting a larger asteroid just take away most of your mass and knock you around, or something like that? I liked the face that follows the mouse pointer, that was a nice touch too.

Congrats!

Thank you all so much :) I definitely agree with all points of criticism (thankfully all constructive). I would like to finish it up and will definitely use all this input.

as a question, did anyone get passed the first part of the game? I think I should have signified that there is a next step after you gain mass.

SPACE !! i liked

It was very fun! A little complicated to adjust to the controls but it was just a matter of practice. Great job!

Simple but charming! Nice creative spin on the theme and lovely art-style. Good job!

fxtagn 2015-12-17 21:23

Fun, good mood, music and fit to the theme!

Eating asteroids was raher tedious (and dizzying) experience. I always died on the water gathering part since I didnt know how big water rocks I could gather o.o
Nice game overall :)

lurils 2015-12-21 03:06

This was fun, the face moving was a nice touch heh

Nice game. I love the planets and sun with their faces. Enjoyed floating around growing. Control was a bit tough but it was fun to fly around.

Loved it! I liked:

- the risk-reward of trying to eat a piece which is about the same size as me, not knowing if I'll double my size or crash (thankfully it was usually the former)
- the fact that avoiding the obstacles automatically became harder as I gained mass
- how you managed to create a second game mode which felt quite different just by disabling whether we gained or lost mass
- the fact that the different planets had different personalities (cheer up, Mars!)
- the science! I never imagined that accretion would be this much fun.
- the ending! I didn't realize what I would become until after the water phase.

The music was quite repetitive and not very space-like though.

Nice, well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/MR4ln4T3mFk
