In its current state the game is too easy / static / silent to be much fun, but at least it's working and it's rather minimal ;).
It can happen that the player is smaller than all the other bodies, too.

At least you spend a nice time. Bad luck that is not even finished.

@stqn Yes, I'm not really satisfied with it, and you're totally right in saying it is too static. The player=smallest body issue is something I noticed but forgot to fix later on, thank you for mentioning it.

@dotteri Thank you, I had a good time indeed. I'm planning to bring it to a more complete stage in my free time, in the coming weeks.

Could have a lot of fun if it was more developed, but I suppose sometimes that's the nature of LD. Cool prototype though, could see a lot of ways to go with this to make it into a fun game.

@Argembarger Thank you, glad you liked it. I should totally have added some "sluurp" mouthFX, now that you mentioned it.

Congrats on your first LD! :D

Sure, there's not a lot to it, but you made a game in a weekend.

One think I noticed some graphical glitchiness sometimes, but it's hard to be sure.

@john_conder9 I also hope to continue working on it, I had a good idea or two, but like you mentioned, it's in the nature of LD to cut back on features. Glad you found the prototype interesting, though.

@AtkinsSJ Thank you! I'm also happy that I got to finish the game, even if it's far from its original conception.
The graphical glitches are very likely, especially in the beginning the game runs at about 15-20 fps on my laptop, causing the player's planet to "wobble". It's weird that this simple task takes up so much processing power, but at least the end game runs smoother.

@Pabo I meant to tell I've spent a nice time playing it at least =p, the truth.
