The art style is really beautiful *______*
But I don't know if i understand the mechanics completely (I had fun, tho). What's the difference between pressing space and clicking the mouse button? They do different things, but I didn't get the point. Overall, nice work!
Good game,lads!
Was a really good game, and the graphics were amazing, yet I did not know how to control the game too well. I also did not totally understand the connection to Running out of power. But overall a good game. Good job
Needless to say graphics are epic, the game runs perfect and I haven't encountered any bug/error, really really solid and simple, Love it!
Ahhh sounds is so satisfying. Just chill
wooooooooooo!!!
I'm not 100% I understand when to click (or tap)... I did get a better score when I clicked while the rings seemed to get smaller, but... I still enjoyed playing! It was fun. Nice graphics, music, and sound. Congrats.
Weeee! Woohoo!
I had a lot of fun playing the game although I was often distracted by the cute, smiling planet.
+++ The cutesy graphics and art style. +++ The chill music ++ Learning the timing for the rings
Thanks for the game.
Very very nice! I love the user feedback, it feels nice and rhythmical. It looks great too, and the music fits nicely. This is impressive work!
Good game. Simple yet fun to play. Loved graphics and sounds.
Cute and comfy, a nice combo. Got a few perfect here and there, though I'm not sure how. Made for a nice package, all in all. Great entry!
Nice and cute! One problem ( I might be wrong...) but the BEST always says 1024.
Very nice game, awesome graphics, easy and enjoyable gameplay and awesome audio. However the theme isn't quite there.
lovely graphics and music . A simple nice game . Really great job on the feeling and mechanic!
whooooo! haha!
I want to play this game always and everywhere :)

AWARD FOR MOST CHEERFUL GAME EVER MADE! Lovely music and sound effects, but unfortunately not much of a challenge. Similar timing mechanics to Ouendan or Elite Beat Agents on the NDS. Would have liked to see some more challenge in that direction. Wa-hooooooo! <3
Nice and simple little game there. I played the browser's version and the height of your game is way too big for my crappy display's resolution. anyway good work.
Really liked the graphics, the sun was really cute and full of character. Wasn't sure when to click but had fun anyway.
Such an adorable game. Loved the art style and music.
That game is soooo cute. Those facial expressions *.* I didn't know I can enjoy a game merely about clicking, but I did.
That little planet is adorable!
The sound effects alone could keep me playing it all day, but the whole game feels polished. The graphics are beautiful and the mechanic, although simple, is fun to play with.
Oooh! Wow! Wheheeee! Whoooo!
Such a colourful game! Just wish it was infinite and not limited to 12 rings. The music was pretty funky too~
The graphics are really cute and I like how the gameplay is easy to understand, but I had very big difficulties to see the borders of the circle with all the colors and glow effects :(
PS : Awesome recorded "WEEEEE" sound xD
Graphics are the cutest, i'm not sure if i understood gameplay very well but still fun
sound : WEEEEE ! WAAAAAA ! WOHOOOOOO / 20
It's really pretty and has great style and music and everything is ace on presentation - but:
* I can't tell where the "too late" point is. That means it's essentially a blind game of chicken. * I don't know if you actually built this to the theme. There's not even a vague connection.
But hot dang it's pretty. So very juicy.
As most people noted: really polished looking and feeling game, though the feedback is basically non-existent. Also not feeling the theme in any of it!
Great presentation! Really satisfying graphics and sounds. I was prepared to pass through the asteroid belt and grow as big as the universe, so I hope you'll continue to develop this. Kudos!
Pretty game! There is a bug with the highscore I think, but in my last run my score was 28880. :smile:
The design is sweet. Awesome :)
Very nice game! Awesome graphics!
Love the visuals, and the mechanic is simple but somewhat addictive. The theme wasn't really apparent to me, but nice entry overall :)
Hello, I am from the legal team at Kurzgesagt Inc. We are taking your game down on the grounds of copyright violations.
Ok, enough of this distasteful humor. This game's graphics and audio are stunning. Sadly, the gameplay did not level up with the rest of it.
Love the graphics and the sounds, but unfortunately not the gameplay. Great work though
It got me hooked up for a while, haha. If you create some cool progression, that could become a good game for mobile plataforms
26585 was my score, very fun and the audio made me chuckle
Super adorable!! I really enjoyed playing this one. Could be adapted into a pretty successful mobile game if you choose to continue it. Nice work!
The audio and graphics were amazing, and the core gameplay was also brilliant. Well done!
That is really awesome, the graphics and audio just make my day! If the little cutely plant can do some more reflection to player after each time it end according to the score player got, that will be prefect!
OMG.. Soooo cute!
I just love the game, graphic, mechanics and sound, all awesome :)
Cute and soft. A polished one-button game with an unique feel to it. Perhaps even too many visual tricks obscuring the gameplay information at times.
Cute. Neat. A fun one-button tap game which could be more interesting on mobile devices. Quiet atmosphere. Well done ++
That was cute :)
Nice. Love the cheerful graphics.
Really nice graphics and animation, the audio made them feel complete. It was nice simple gameplay but I didn't really see a goal it was over so quickly and it felt so good (with the sound) I only cared about that not the score :P
Nice and well elaborated addictive game. Good Job.
Very simple yet effective gameplay. The graphics and animations are soooooooo cute. Nice job!
Very cute happy game! The graphics are awesome and it has a very jucy feel! A bit more of progression would be awesome though! Good job.
This game is pretty decent. I liked the creativity behind the concept of the game. I also liked the simple but polished graphical style of the game. I however, am not sure how this relates to the theme as a form of power is not even metioned at all in this game. In conclusion, this game is good because it is innovative and has great art, but it doesn't relate to the theme at all.
Graphics are cute as hell! Well done :thumbsup:
Sooo cute)
Nice game loved the mechanics
Pretty cheerful game :D
Concept is really simple (although I didn't quite understand it at first) and the graphics and sounds are awesome! :D
Really simple, but fun to play. Nice colorful graphics, but I am not sure, how it relates to the Ludum Dare theme, except that nice game to play.
Very nice mood -- made me feel warm inside :)
The graphics, audio and gameplay all work together really nicely.
Haha very nice mood and graphics! The sounds are pretty funny as well xD! It is very simple, but effective in fun!
The Art is beautiful but I had some problems to identify when it's the best time to click :D
I have absolutely no idea of what I just played, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless. The artstyle is pretty damn good and that together with the audio and goofy gameplay results in a cute little game experience
Brilliant jam game. You've taken a really simple gameplay mechanic and added a lovely cheerful art style and sound effects along with a ton of feedback and "game feel". It feels really polished and would be great as a little mobile game pretty much as is!
I guess the next step would be to expand on the mechanics a bit, parhaps have multiple zones that you can grow to or make them move or something. Perhaps have bits where you have to tap to destroy obstacles or something. Maybe an infinite runner style game done as you grow the planet. Hang on, I may have to steal this idea :P
In short, great entry - loads of fun and really polished! Nice job :)
There's a really nice feel to the interaction and progression.
It left me wanting to have a visual conclusion according to my score, though.
Haha fun game :) I really like the sounds and the "feeling" of this game. Gameplay is very simple but cool ^^ It would be perfect on mobile.
Great entry, good job !
Fantastic graphics and sound makes this really nice and fun to play. Mechanic is simple and tight. Only falls short of the theme somewhat.
Infinitely cute. It took me about 10 tries to figure out how to play it! :D I think. But the score stays at 1024.
Cute, easy and relaxing game! Quite polished with nice graphics and music, the sfx are adorable too. As said above, the theme's not really here but it's a fun game anyway.
This game could win the nebulous "mood" category. I rarely know what to score a game in that category but this is an easy 5. The gameplay is maybe a little too simple but I still had fun because of the cute graphics, animations and sound.
This is great. Fatanstic visuals. Great sfx and music. Runs really smooth. Easy to understand gameplay, hard to master. Fun to see if you can beat your score. But the highscore always was at 1024. Would be nice if it updated correctly. Love the game!
Perfect. Not perfect for the theme, but perfect as it is. Good job
Good graphics and I like this simple gameplay. Soundtrack is amazing, really good Mood. But, alas, the game does not match Theme. Good job!
Weeee, wouuuuuuu
Very funny game ! Very short and simple but like the concept, graphics and mood ! Well done :)
I did about 240,000. Too adorable! Very good mood.
Amazing graphics, great music and SFX and very fun and simple gameplay. Definitely one of my favorites.
The only thing I didn't like was that it basically didn't match the theme at all. But I could see me playing this on my phone waiting for the bus trying to get a high score. Great job.
Neat game! Great graphics and audio design. I'm going to echo some of the other comments above, though, that I'm not sure about the theme integration, which seems pretty important for Ludum Dare!
Its great for children of a certain age, im sure. not too young but not too old. The graphics are great, but the Audio is winner here. great song. sfx were ok. could have had more sounds. Honestly Im a little surprised to see that it took 4 people to make this. Another level with added rings, or multiple colors with multiple tap or button functions would have made the game a boat load more fun. If you can win (with a low score) by pressing space bar 12 times, that doesn't constitute as fun. Maybe opt out of theme? just a thought. Good Graphics Audio and mood. Feels very polished, and like I said suitable for a young kids tablet. Good job completing!
I know you, like everyone else, were pressed for time on implementing this. But oh man if there was a visual upgrade each time you got a perfect or something, I would be hopelessly addicted to this. Thank you for showing us the art of the possible when LD devs focus on refining the core experience to its max.
Really cute, it's not reallt running out of energy but everything works so well I can forget about that. I enjoyed this little game about a really happy planet. Congrats!
Perfect little game! Like it. :hearts:
Beautiful and simple. It looks, sounds, and plays well. Nice work :)
Simple idea well executed. I just wish I would have gotten something else than the disappointing "Ohhh..." after getting all Perfects...
Very cool simple game. It is very polished and just easy to play. Great job!
The planet looks really cute. But I don't really see the theme here. Easy and well implemented idea. The music was also really nice.
Very nice animation effects and general mood. Simple, effective sound design.
Now that is a game with style. The animations are slick and the sound effects are great. Just love it when i get a perfect hit and that laugh is adorable. Its a pity it doesn't have more levels and some more mechanics. but i understand there wasn't a lot of time. Btw this would be a great mobile game, you should really work on it some more and publish it.
You have made my wife play a game :astonished: But I am not surprised with this cute graphics and funny music and sfx. Really nice creation. But as a stand alone (I know we are talking about a game made in 72h) the interest does not last longer. Could be cool if you make a compilation of mini-games in the same style.
There's way too much stuff going on on the screen, it's not at all clear when we're supposed to press space. The "Ok" and "Great" feedback helped, but it took me a while before I figured out that "Great" did not in fact indicate that I had figured out which circles were not supposed to intersect, and that I should aim for "Perfect" instead.
Regarding the theme: you chose a planet becoming a star, but wouldn't it make more sense to start as a star? If I remember correctly, as the fuel inside a star gets used up, that is, as the star runs out of power, its internal nuclear explosions can't push back against its own gravity anymore, so the star collapses, which can somehow causes it to go nova. Going nova would provide a better justification for pushing away the asteroids than just "deciding to stop growing"!
I can't put into words how much I LOVE this game! Seriously, great job!! :D
ITS SO CUTE But seriously, great one button gameplay and I just adore the goofy sounds and animation of the planet. Slap on a few skins and collectibles and you have a mobile title. Well done!
This's a cute game :D
Cute, simple, doesn't fit theme but, well presented.
I really like the art, simple in a good way, very cute. Music and sounds effects are great. Good job !
The colorful art style and relaxing background tune make for a great mood in this game.
Like others said, it's looks really nice ! But yeah, the "how to play" is a bit confusing. At first, I thought that you had to click as late as possible for the small circles around the planet. Turns out it was actually the large blue ring I was supposed to look at. Also, don't make the player have a finite amount of moves. As long, as the player is doing good, they should be able to continue.
Good game !
Cute graphics and sound :)
Nice and solid game! In the beginning i had no clue when i had to press space exactly. After a few tries i've figured it out. Player should have inifite amount of tries, although he is able to press the space button very early over and over again. Their might be an issue to deal with. Perhaps the player gets another try if he did a "great" or "perfect" job?
very cute! i had issues figuring out what to do, the instructions were vague at best. however, you restart quick enough it didn't take me too long to figure out. the audio clues of when to tap also helped me. it feels like it would be a good mobile game, especially if it was infinite.
Nice game! I liked specially the visual effect when you hit a score and the zoom goes out, nice sounds and cute voices (it remind me Tiny Wings which is cool), did you recorded yourself? 😂 I think it's the perfect game for a mobile device. Very polished, well done!
It's so cute! Very good game! I like it! Music and graphics specialy awesome!
This is a pretty cool and fun game, but I don't think mentioning power counts as using the theme.
Very nice game. The art style is amazing. it was very fun to play. Congrats to the team!

First of all, amazing visuals and art style. Probably the best visuals so far in this jam and definitely the cutest.
The BGM, together with the "Aha!" and "Woo!", complimented the game really well, creating a rather immersive and addicting atmosphere.
However, more detailed instructions on when to click would be absolutely great. Took me a while to figure out when I'm supposed to click.
Another thing is the blue visual circle that is supposed to help you I think? Either not have it at all and let players judge by the rotating fireballs(?) or 1/8th the width at least. If you want to keep it this thick, make it so the width of the blue circle is constant during the "sucking in" as it would throw people timing off when using it as a timing tool.
Lastly, I don't think your high score value is working, mine was stuck at the value seen in the picture. Also, not too sure how it fits the theme.
Hi Pavel! You'r game is in my latest video, if you want to check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQCQ5LjoLgg
I love the art style, the graphics, the little background music tone and the sound effects. I think you didn't quite hit the theme but the game mechanics were easy to grasp and the game itself is pretty funny. I enjoyed playing it! Well done!
Nice Entry, the artstyle reminds me of the kurzgesagt videos. Also, is it a bug that the highscore is stuck at 1024? Well done!
Game was simple. Not quite sure what it had to do with the power theme but was fun to play anyway
I was very confused but it's a cute game.
5-stars! When I saw the outer circle about to touch the inner circle and pressed space to repel the outer circle, I felt focused. When my girlfriend and I heard the music, we felt relaxed. Wonderful look and feel. If you continue to develop this, for me first few attempts I pressed space and wasn't sure what happened. I didn't recognize the outer circle as a threat to the inner circle.
Nice uplifting mood. Nice graphics. It's a very relaxing game. I really don't understand why you limited it to twelve rounds. Well done.
Haha love the graphics and sounds:) Didn't quite know what was going on most of the time.
Very stylish graphics and nice audio. Simple but fun. Good job.
Very good!! Nice looking and very addictive!
Beautiful game, nice colors and face of the planet ^^ It is simple and relaxing. It is not too simple to recognize de limit, i mean, when to press SPACE, but I think it is better like that :)
played something very similar the other day, "Space Frontier" for android. this is much funnier though, those sfx :)
its cute looking, very fun to play
Like literally everybody above me has said: these graphics are absolutely awesome and work really well for the game! I have to admit, though, that I didn't understand the point of the game, because all feedback I got from the planet was "great" or "awesome" even though I had no idea what I was doing.
Awesome game, the graphics and sound effects are brilliant!
Wonderful sound effects and music made the experience one to remember. Graphics are very nice and clean. Could not quite understand when I was supposed to let go especially when the colors of the inner circles changed, but it was still fun. :D
Well, looks like i can barely add anything new to what's already been said.
First of all, the good stuff. The game doesn't look like a jam game. You took an idea simple enough, but effective, and you managed to polish it until you got something that looks more like a real project than a "Game Jam" project, since most of the games from here tend to be awesome but rough around the edges. You've managed to avoid that. Good job: Also, the sound design is really effective, and the sounds were fun to listen to.
But... well. As everyone is saying, the "feedback" on where my growth really is can be confusing, and it's hard to know exactly when to let go. This wouldn't be much of an issue if the whole game wasn't based around "be risky" and "wait for the last moment". But i couldn't figure out when that "last moment" was.
OVerall, a polished game, good fun for some time, and entertaining. Good job!
I like that little shiny guy :D Is that your voice of that sun? First it was a bit confusing until which point let the circle get closer. I like you gamedesign and idea :D Great job.
The theme is kind of left out completely, which is quite a flaw for a LD entry, but the theme was crap anyway. Very pretty and cleverly made game, by sticking with simplest gameplay and one character you had time to put into atmosphere and the character. Has potential to become famous with smartphone generation, personally I lost interest after 5-10 minutes, mainly because I saw many of those moments where the asteroids weren't touching the planet but it was game over anyway, if the system was more fair perhaps it would have kept me interested a bit longer.
Oooh, cool game ! I just have to report the fact that you can have a game over despite the fact you shouldn't, and also that the game was not made according to the theme (or... "maybe" ? The theme in this game is kind of... Weird ?). However the result is really cool and CUTE, I really like the little planet :) By the way, the sounds are cool too, despite that the "ouiiii" and "hahaha" the character do become quickly kind of boring...
Pretty graphics, the sounds are cute and fit the game very well. Game doesn't seem to match the LD39 theme in any way, though. There is a lot of crackling and clicking in the sound though. Same bugs others have mentioned. I was confused with the expansion, as there doesn't seem to be a clear indication of the edge of the planet as it grows. It would be useful to have a defined edge. Overall, nice game, good sound, not sure on the theme. Thanks for the submission.
Nice graphics and well polished. The gameplay is too simple, the music is fine, but the sound effects I think take points away from what I think is a very professional game.
Those were damn nice graphics. The sound effects, and the face on the little planet were excellent. I'm sure that this would do well as a mobile game, particularly if you introduce some variety and throw in a few collectables.
Really cute game. Very funny, great graphics and audio. congrats.
Great game! I liked the cute graphic style. But i wish the game has a something like endless mode.
I don't get it, it says nice but then the game end and my best score isn't saved. Appart from that, i like it a lot, very simple game but very nicely polished and juycy, funny sound effect and all, really cool !
Great game! Short, but great. Love the graphics and the mood! Good job!
Lovely game :) The graphics and sounds are very cute. It reminds me of the game "Elite beat agents", i sunk so many hours there :P the bad thing is that it's too short and simple, but a nice experience nevertheless.
good job :) ... could be a little longer :)
Great user experience. Liked the cute graphics, simple but cute ! The visuals was great. The was nice ! It would be better if it was a little bit longer. Otherwise, good job on this game !
It was fun and I loved the art style and voice acting, but I didn't completely understand how it fit the theme
9/10
Great little game! I didn't expect that a game that simple could offer that much fun :D You guys really worked on the art style, game feel and feedback of the game, it has a lot of details! Really enjoyed the sound effects! Congratulations!
Nice game, enjoyable! I like the graphics and the music. The sound FX are a little weird but I like them too. The high score only records when I lose but not my high score when I win the game, so I cannot know if I get more or less points.
It is a nice cute and simple game :) Good job!
Simple but enjoyable mechanics along with the mood got me relaxed for a bit, thanks! I did not understand what "tap space as late as possible" means at the start but figured out what to do after ~30 seconds. Would definitely play a post-jam version. Cheers!
So cute. Very fun game! Should be a mobile game!
Very cute little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcB7mPgMq7c
Cute and pretty! Luv the graphics although the game wasn't that clear to me
