Made it to the endless level!

Hard but rewarding game. Only bug I noticed was that if you have a black hole equipped when losing, you can't click the restart button. I think the game perfectly encapsulates the theme by giving the player that claustrophobic feeling that goes along with space is running out. Strategy-wise, you balanced the power ups incredibly well, each of them felt immensely powerful without becoming "that one gamebreaking powerup". Felt really polished. Great job on that!

Not bad actually :)

The increasing price is the perfect measure to stop me spamming black holes. Managed to beat level 1, but then it was game over.
Quite a nice game!

Nice game. It fits the theme nicely and the graphics are smiple but effective. One thing, after the bottom counter hit 3 it stopped increasing, and the entire simpulation slowed down. This made is almost to easy as I didn't even need the power ups anymore due tot he size of the normal shot.

Good entry, keep it up.

Hi @betacat,
For the moment the best game I played :p
And so I played it a lil more than the previous, and so i found some bugs ^^

Bug reports:
- When I am in the running out space screen, if I click on a power I can't anymore click on the 'replay' button
- When I click 'replay' fast enough, sometimes my black hole are still here on next run
- I don't know why but sometimes I can't launch skill 5, maybe it's some hidden cooldown or cost which is not updating (since it's the only which doesn't increase)
- Maybe it's not a bug, but one time the cooldown at the bottom of the screen stops and no more cells were added to the game area (except those from multiplication)

Really really too hard for me :p

I hardly pass trough level 1 to level 2 but I must thanks the last bug I reported.

Anyway nice entry for this LD, continue like this

Good gameplay! There is little bug. If I take the black hole before ending, I cant click on replay button.![Bez názvu.jpg](///raw/8c0/31/z/1a1ad.jpg)

I beat level one due to the bug of no new cells appear other than replicating. I think the difficulty is too high because once you missed the manageable point, the rate of replication will go up indefinitely.

The system which can use the skill like hack and slash was fresh feeling. I also wanted to see how other people would try to see how to try killing all balls. I think that I am bad, but stopped time and crushed each balls one by one. Totally, I enjoyed it. Great job!

I found myself clicking to the rhythm of the song :laughing: Nice game! I really liked it! There are a lot of ways to complete a level, and they're all really intuitive!
