And I'm very proud of what I accomplished. Although it is a tad spastic and finicky overall it is finished. \r\n\r\n--\r\n\r\nKNOWN BUGS:\r\n1) during the cut scene tabbing away from the window will crash it. \r\n\r\n2) sometimes instead of going to a score board after you successfully eat the sun the game will go back to the cut scene.\r\n\r\n3) The first few spawns of planets clump together, after you eat that clump the spawns get better.\r\n\r\n--\r\n\r\nStory: \r\n\r\nyou are a geo praderia maximus a rare breed of asteroid sized planet eating animals, your name rex. One day two derpanauts land on your surface their conversation goes as follows.\r\n\r\nderpanaut 1: We've discovered a new world!\r\nderpanaut 1: We could claim it as our own and colonize it.\r\n\r\nderpanaut 2: We could, but it's such a tiny world(not theme or anything)\r\n\r\nderpanaut 1: Yea, I guess your right, it is tiny.\r\n\r\nRex hearing this becomes fed up with being \"tiny\", he decides he will stop at nothing to get revenge on those humans who called him tiny. He starts by eating the derpanauts and their space ship. Then continues to eat planets smaller than him to amass size. His final plan(not well thought through is to eat the sun and become a black hole finishing off the humans! and showing them what for.\r\n<\/p>","title":"Geo Praderia Maximus"}
