You are earth, in space. You are too small, you have to get bigger. Eat smaller planets, or get eaten by bigger ones.

My high score: 2560
What an easy but freaking cool game! At the beginning I thought it was quite fast and easy to dodge some of the bigger planets so you don't get eaten, but after reaching ~8000 you begin to feel really the mass of the planet and dodging becomes really hard. When a planet infront of me got bigger then me I just shouted "no nonon ononoon" haha. Sounds more dramatic then it actually was probably but it was fun anyways!
I think to further expand on the gameplay you could introduce objects like blackholes or suns which maybe transport you to a different location or change the type of planet/star you are. Still very good entry, I enjoyed it! (The music was actually kinda good, even though it blew my headphones away at the beginning)

**Cons:** Music doesn't match very well with the 'feel' of the game.
Stars in the background would have been a nice touch. Colour shifting based on the consumed planets' colours would be cool as well. Good work, considering you made it in 6 hours.
- The gameplay
- The music
- Its addictiveness (I played a dozen times)
Good work :)
