Too simple... :boy:

I got to about 206 energy, but the red particles spawned too rapidly and were too fast to be avoided. The background was neat.

Kind of hard. I don't think I reached above 300 energy because I kept on getting blindsided by red particles due to the random nature of the particles. This is made more difficult by the fact that red particles decrease your energy much more than blue particles increase it. I'm not quite sure if anything else changes other than more particles spawning. There doesn't seem to be audio in the game but I can give an audio rating? It could use something more to make it more fun, but it can't be helped since it had to be made in two days. Good job.

@burnedkirby thanks for reminding me, I forgot to opt out of audio, should be good now.

Very simple game

I like this. I learned that creating a universe takes a long time and lot of patience and a lot of luck.

Really cool concept, took the theme to a whole nother level!

I liked the idea however I wished the blue particles lasted longer and moved slightly slower because by the time I realized that they had spawned... they were already gone. BUt other than that slight annoyance it was quite fun.

Simple, but nice underlying concept and a good start - I think even for a simple game like this it would be nice to add sounds or particle effects, which can really improve the 'feel' of a game. Also as others have said the particles move reaaaly quickly its difficult to keep track!

The game would definitely benefit from some small details like sound and particles. I found it a little challenging to start, since the spawn rates of particles were very low and they flew by wayyyy too fast. This was fun, but it can be improved

@loyance I agree, I tried to add particles to this one but I wasn't able to get anything I was happy with. Something I hope to improve on in time for the next one.

@khaotom I was worried the message was to vague / not clear, i'm glad you got it.
