Basically I reached a point where I could no longer meaningfully eat asteroids, but was also not yet able to eat small planets. I'm a patient person, so I figured I could just putz about eating dust until I got big enough to eat a planet... but then the game suddenly ended without apparent reason.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Never the less, the slow creeping out of the camera and the core mechanics are nice. I like the addition of the space ships, and of gravity."},{"author_name":"walaber","author_uid":"31888","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 6:06am","epoch":1440482460,"text":"ran fine on OS\/X for me.  a bit difficult to control."},{"author_name":"Halleflux","author_uid":"24741","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 7:17am","epoch":1440486720,"text":"The controls were very difficult, it felt like trying to herd a group of elephants that just wanted to stand around doing nothing.\r<br\/>However, the concept is a lot of fun, and I always enjoy a game that lets me eat entire planets =3\r<br\/>Well done!"},{"author_name":"bitdecaygames","author_uid":"52796","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 4:19am","epoch":1440648840,"text":"Those ships are like snipers...

I don't think a game like this should have inertia. You are an awesome space monster after all, you should be able to maneuver better in space.

I'm not sure if the timer add to the game. at the very least it does not give enough time. The gravity seems a bit strange. I hardly felt the gravity of anything other than supper giant planets\/stars, and they felt strange to. they would not effect me when i had any speed(even if the speed was towards them) but as soon as I would stop they would pull me in with a constant high speed. but after all all it needs is polishing. good work."},{"author_name":"divillysausages","author_uid":"12486","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 10:54pm","epoch":1440888540,"text":"Gorgeous game, though I got caught in the gravity well of an enormous planet and couldn't move :("},{"author_name":"ohsqueezy","author_uid":"10718","time":"Sep 7, 2015 @ 2:46am","epoch":1441593660,"text":"The giant space ram is so crazy looking!!
