Since the page will not allow me to upload my submission yet you can find Linux binaries and the source code in a link in the game description. I will update the entry when I can add proper download links.

I really liked the concept! As you said a great basic concept of maintaining an equilibrium. Reus had a little of that, but not nearly as much. Would love to see an entire food chain + ecosystem, which gets growingly complicated and delicate, and that has to be balanced...
Also the graphics are clever, just rotating the sprites around the center point to make it look like a little planet. Simple but effective!
I downloaded and played the Linux binary, and ran fine. Only glitch I noticed is the text seems to be a little messed up (stray pixels, like the sprite is blitted with an offset).
As you said it could use a bit more content to be more fun, although as basic as it is now, I did actually play 3 times to see if I could keep it going longer... the core concept is definitely a good one, you should finish it! :)
