Instead you could draw your background as often as needed (depending on the camera position).\rAnd gameplay: The bigger the ball, the slower it seems to be. At the end I was eaten by a ball far bigger than mine (I had 112 mass), and both balls could not really move, but it grew more than I, so it ate me. Higher velocity with higher mass would be nice, since it's not really much to play at the end.\rBut I really like the idea, it's fun to play and looks good!"},{"author_name":"pardue","author_uid":"15733","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 1:28pm","epoch":1347888180,"text":"Sound would help and the game is a bit slow, but congrats on your first Ludum Dare... well done!"},{"author_name":"LPGhatguy","author_uid":"14296","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 1:30pm","epoch":1347888300,"text":"I found that there was always stuff to suck up or stuff to suck you up, and the game ended after I hit 149.9821 mass and another ball hit a mass so huge that it took up the entire screen.
