Looks and sounds really good. I think the growth should be more visible

Cool game! Art is amazing and nice chill music! The controls feel nice but I think another movement option like a dash or a split could be nice too!

Really nice graphics, a nice use of that type of games. Ambiance is not quite there though, the guitar is cool but I would have seen a more "atmospheric" ambiance there. Loved the gravity effect, it balances well the gameplay.

Well done!

Really nice graphics!

Also quite liked the menu.

For some reason my star is shrinking even though I consume other stars. Is it because they are with spikes or something? Also it shrinks very fast while idle.

HOLY GREAT GRAPHICS YOU GOT HERE!

Really cool game ! Gameplay is like Agar.io but you had feature that is really good, it's gravity between stars Graphics are really polished

Great job !

The game is fun, but the best part about this game is the art style, it's great!

I loved the graphics and the effects

Beautiful art and well polished overall! Gameplay was fun, a hard mode that would be more challenging by giving you more momentum (so its ahrd to avoid barelling towards large starts) would be awesome :D

Really cool use of this mechanic. Unique art style. The controls and the gravity feel great. Swallowing another star has some nice chunk to it.

Do the different em field lines have different effects? I wasn't able to tell. Cool atmospheric effect regardless.

The spawning seems to go haywire occasionally and just fill the screen with massive stars. I played five or six times and it happened in three of them.

Wow, this game looks fantastic! Love the artstyle :heart: I feel like the star shrinks a bit too fast. But overall, really nice :)

Really love the art and feel of this game. It was so relaxing to play and I felt like it was a game I could really just zone out with. I'd love to see some added mechanics like swallowing other stars gives you some ability for a limited time. Great job!

Beautiful art. The "doot" sound gets to be a little much over time. A visual indicator of if something is just a little too big for you would be appreciated since there were multiple occasions where I thought I was bigger but ended up getting eaten. The gravity effects were terrific. Overall great execution of a simple concept.

Looks and sounds beautiful. I'd pull the camera out more so you have a better overview of where you are going. The arrows pointing towards the player also didn't seem to do anything? Would also agree with previous poster that the "doot" sounds gets a bit repetitive. You could use random pitch and volume shifting to fix that.

The art is really beautiful! I did not feel like I was growing in size when eating other stars.

avi 2020-04-21 08:59

Nice work! Really cool concept :) It would be cool if you could incorporate some real astrophysics into this, and then this could be a super useful educational game! Eg the adding the lifecycles of stars, having some stars undergoing a supernovae and forming neutron stars/black holes etc :)

Awesome art and gameplay. Very cool!

wans24 2020-04-21 13:55

Very cool artstyle, I like it and dynamic gameplay that makes you engaged. Music is nice. By the way agree with posts above about "doot" sound going too loud and repetative. I would make the sound softer.

kara 2020-04-21 14:00

Amazing artstyle! Music and sound match well with the atmosphere.

Nice and relaxing game.

pineapple-po 2020-04-23 16:37

very beautiful

simonl 2020-04-23 21:20

The art deco art style is really something. I very much liked it (5/5).

The gameplay itself wasn't that revolutionizing sadly. And for some reason my star was always shrinking and not really expanding no matter how many star I've eaten.

pineapple-po 2020-05-12 09:04

colorful, beautiful game. I liked it very much. But when my star is too big, the world begins to collapse. symbolic within the cosmos, but unplayable. I would love to play it again if you finished it and put it on steam
