Woah, awesome game. Aesthetics are gorgeous. Simple, elegant, beautiful. Only sad part was when my big particle just stayed in the bottom right of screen and didn't move, but very cool very fun game.

Very interesting mechanics! I really like your take on the theme.

Love the concept!

Kind of mesmerizing. The black holes are green? They also start out so tiny, they look like normal particles. They also start to move so fast once they turn yellow it's impossible to predict them. I like the shaky effect that happens when you get hit.

WOW! Really cool stuff. Everything looked and sounded amazing! But I didn't really know what I was doing or why.

Great concept and execution. Love the visuals

Your game is absolutely mesmerizing. Its easy to lose track of time just trying to make an enormous black hole or trying to make a solar system only to make a pool table of stars. I love it.

Awesome Game, very satisfying like feeding Luma in Mario Galaxy

This has some really cool mechanics. Seems like the easiest way to get a high score is to make one giant black hole, but it's much more fun to make a bunch of stars and see how long you can survive them :P

Very cool aesthetic - made me feel contemplative, then frantic as I overfilled the screen and had to dodge as fast as I could. Great concept, great take on the theme.

Really cool. Physics and graphics are awesome.

Pretty cool. Although I played the Web version so I don't know if its different on the desktop version if it has a bigger view space or something but I found it very hard to avoid making black holes, and then once I had one everything I made just naturally fell into it.

Very chill vibe. Could see myself playing an app version while listening to a podcast no problem. Very awesome stuff with loads of potential.

It's very pretty, though there wasn't much of an objective. I still had fun, and the music was relaxing. Nice game!

I actually had a similar idea for this theme but couldn't figure out the design in time so I abandoned it. In your case you executed it pretty well, I love the art and the sounds of collisions. Maybe for score you could have a multiplier for number of objects that you have active at the same time, otherwise you can just have 1 body and feed it particles and get a huge score. Anyways pretty cool game :)

Love the DA and the mechanics, very cool game that maybe could use a twist, because right now you either create a supersonic 2-ginormous-bullets hell, or create a boring all-devouring black hole. Would still spend hours just contemplating the particles in orbit around my cursor tho.

Not bad. I also made a game called "Ex Nihilo", and it's very similar in theme actually.
