So this is like Katamari Damacy, but online asynchronous PvP? Pretty interesting! Nice, sprawling world to explore... Still, it seems pretty hard to die, even with all the bots invading my world. I had a lot of fun, though, just rolling around and picking stuff up. Well done~","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PietPtr","author_uid":"1001395","time":"2017-12-25T12:53:55Z","epoch":1514206435,"modified":1514206435,"text":"Aww yeah, 7th place!

I really was enjoying myself while playing that I intend to play more of it later on just for fun :)\n\nThe graphics are very beautiful too and the music you chose is very suitable and energetic.\n\nThe one problem I found is that the game lags a lot after some time which is expected with the number of objects in the scene. Other than that really great work. Congratulations. You should be proud :) ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kleinzach","author_uid":"1001866","time":"2017-12-26T22:38:59Z","epoch":1514327939,"modified":1514327939,"text":"I love the escalation as you get bigger and bigger, though It did start to lag like crazy after a while. I would recommend cheating a little bit instead of actually having all of the collected sprites stick to the player. There is something very satisfying about a Katamari like game, and I really enjoyed your take on it! good job!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Alph","author_uid":1067181,"time":"2017-12-27T01:53:24Z","epoch":1514339604,"modified":1514339604,"text":"As a sucker for the Katamari series, I really loved this game, pretty well done!\n\nPlease feel free to check my game https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/i-just-hate-my-fans","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SirPumpy","author_uid":"1056259","time":"2017-12-27T03:02:44Z","epoch":1514343764,"modified":1514343764,"text":"This was interesting and crazy :) I'm not sure I understood what I did, but I had a lot of fun :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tinis Games","author_uid":"1055645","time":"2017-12-27T10:55:27Z","epoch":1514372127,"modified":1514372127,"text":"I like graphics very much.

At first I felt like it was Blalbamari (Katamari), not much to do, just roll and get big. Then I got some arms... that was when the true fun begun. The game ended up being a tad slow, after so many elements on the scene. Maybe you could use an object pooler and deactivate what can't be seen on the viewport.\n\nOne problem: on the leaderboard, the count gets to 10 and then instead of going to 11, goes back to 1:\n![Captura de Ecr\u00e3 (12).png](\/\/\/raw\/7e6\/2\/z\/ec5d.png)\n\nI really liked the idea of my blalb living on to attack other players, well done. The design was also well presented, with good and consistent art. Overall it's the whole package, maybe just needs to balance the slow start.
