A great little entry! Like the music a lot and it fits. The gameplay is also cool but limited. Great entry, keep up the good work.

Had fun playing this! I like how the gameplay was super tight and felt smooth, well implemented. Nice entry.

Nice, short game. As it should be. Nothing wrong, I liked it entirely, well done! :)

Well done, overall really fun.
The clean simple graphics works well for this and its better balanced than a lot of these kind of games.
Just those red planets come in a little fast sometimes even though that might just be me being bad at looking at the minimap. A small visual queue to announce one might be cool.
Got a Highscore of 295

Good concept with a soundtrack to match. I should know, my browser froze during the web version and replayed the song for five minutes while I tried to get my computer working again.

Hah, nice text messages! I've got a freeze couple of times and NullReferenceException in the output.log

Was thinking about the "Osmos" game of course, but the overal dynamic of this game is different.
It was fun to play, thank you.

Nice game! I had fun playing it. :) It is funny that in this game (unlike many games), every level starts harder than it ends. :) The text was a nice touch, but it took a while before I noticed it, it is so tiny!

The keyboard controls make it a little difficult to catch the tiny planets at the beginning of a level. The chatterbox in the bottom right is a nice touch, but when the moon gets large enough, the messages start to flash by so fast that they can't be read. Other than that, this is very solid!

It was a pretty fun game, I liked the overall experience. One thing I didn't like was the lack of deacceleration, didn't really made me feel I was moving a planet, innovation isn't that big since it's pretty much agar.io with another aesthetic. One thing I did like a lot was the mood and the music, that made it entertaining! Good entry nonetheless

Collisions worked great had a slither.io vibe. My only wish was that in between rounds there would be some notice of some sort and a pause. Good work, keep it up.

The flavor text is funny - I kept glancing at it after every thing I consumed. :smile: Actually, I wish it was a little bigger or popped up above the player's head so I didn't have to glance away from the action.

The music is nice, and the gameplay is simple but smooth.

Great little game! It very much reminds me of agar.io. My highscore is 132. If you are ever going to work more on this game, then please do so. Maybe some extra time on the art, sound and balancing the game (For example, each stage is not as dramatic as the one before (longer game time)). Great work and Congratulations on the game, lets see the evolution!

Good take on a collide and growth game. Reminds me of agar.io. I like the music choice. Good solid controls too.

Nice entry, concept is not new but still it is very fun and challenging, except when big meanies spawn right next to you :( hehe good work!!

Nice game! I really liked the mood and the music :) I found it a bit hard to catch the planets when you're small though (using keyboard input).

Cool game - the inspiration with Osmos is very obvious. Pixel graphics are very fitting and the gameplay is fun. I would love smoother controls - in the beginning it was not very easy to catch the smaller moons. Maybe the speed should change depending on your size? I didn't really like the music. It was ok but didn't fit the game.

It would be great to implement it in browser or at least have a button to turn the game off? :P

Simple but nice! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
