I really dig the rolling around on a small planet feeling.\n\nI had some troubles with the ball getting stuck in the very too many creatures I could eat but didn't need to.

It was too late after I picked up all the rocks and ice... it seems like there's no way to craft from your inventory? Then what's the point of the inventory? I highly recommend sorting that out first.\nAdditionally, the problem of getting stuck\/stopped can probably be fixed by keeping the player from colliding with the moving animals and such. I was still pretty engaged with exploring the planet!

I feel like it could have been much easier if I could craft things from my inventory instead of having to find something just laying around or placing something down first. It might have just been my computer being a potato, but nothing that I tried to place down showed up in the world, like I would click on the fire in the inventory, but it would just disappear from the list and nothing else would happen.
