Also, the game over felt incredibly arbitrary, I could understand if it ended when\/if you literally couldn't shoot any more, but for a certain number of particles, it just felt a bit cheap (especially because I could swear that I had more than that at one other point and when it was bleeping, I brought it back down but the bleeping didn't stop).

Try to beat the hi-score for the main particle.\n\nUPDATE:\nThere is now enhanced version available (original compo version is still in the game, you can select if you want to play original or enhanced, or you can download archived executables for windows or android).\nI knew there was a weird bug in physics calculation, but I glanced at the code and couldn't see it. I automatically thought it's unity's problem :D But it made gameplay more interesting, so I released it as it was - only to find out later that with progressing time the madness in the system grows and grows...\nThe enhanced version is now modified, less chaotical and I think more funny (although physics glitches in the original are sometimes gloriously funny... and tear your eye's out if you play game for more than an hour)\n\nUPDATE 2:\nEnhanced version further updated, slightly improved gameplay, added tracking of total time wasted on shooting balls at balls, and save \/ restore on quit. (For some reason, this doesn't work for web build on itch for Chrome, Firefox works correctly though)","title":"Large Number Collider","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/280501+280502+280503+280504+280505+280506+280507+280508+280509+280510+280511+280512+280513+280514+280515+280516+280517+280518+280519+280520+280521+280522+280523+280524+280525+280526+280527+280528+280529+280530+280531+280532+280533+280534+280535+280536+280537+280538+280539+280540+280541+280542+280543+280544+280545+280546+280547+280548+280549+280550+280551+280552+280553+280554+280555+280556+280557+280558+280559+280560+280561+280562+280563+280564+280565+280566+280567+280568+280569+280570+280571+280572+280573+280574+280575+280576+280577+280578+280579+280580+280581+280582+280583+280584+280585+280586+280587+280588+280589+280590+280591+280592+280593+280594+280595+280596+280597+280598+280599+280600+280601+280602+280603+280604+280605+280606+280607+280608+280609+280610+280611+280612+280613+280614+280615+280616+280617+280618+280619+280620+280621+280622+280623+280624+280625+280626+280627+280628+280629+280630+280631+280632+280633+280634+280635+280636+280637+280638+280639+280640+280641+280642+280643+280644+280645+280646+280647+280648+280649+280650+280651+280652+280653+280654+280655+280656+280657+280658+280659+280660+280661+280662+280663+280664+280665+280666+280667+280668+280669+280670+280671+280672+280673+280674+280675+280676+280677+280678+280679+280680+280681+280682+280683+280684+280685+280686+280687+280688+280689+280690+280691+280692+280693+280694+280695+280696+280697+280698+280699+280700+280701+280702+280703+280704+280705+280706+280707+280708+280709+280710+280711+280712+280713+280714+280715+280716+280717+280718+280719+280720+280721+280722+280723+280724+280725+280726+280727+280728+280729+280730+280731+280732+280733+280734+280735+280736+280737+280738+280739+280740+280741+280742+280743+280744+280745+280746+280747+280748+280749+280750+280751+280752+280753+280754+280755+280756+280757+280758+280759+280760+280761+280762+280763+280764+280765+280766+280767+280768+280769+280770+280771+280772+280773+280774+280775+280776+280777+280778+280779+280780+280781+280782+280783+280784+280785+280786+280787+280788+280789+280790+280791+280792+280793+280794+280795+280796+280797+280798+280799+280800+280801+280802+280803+280804+280805+280806+280807+280808+280809+280810+280811+280812+280813+280814+280815+280816+280817+280818+280819+280820+280821+280822+280823+280824+280825+280826+280827+280828+280829+280830+280831+280832+280833+280834+280835+280836+280837+280838+280839+280840+280841+280842+280843+280844+280845+280846+280847+280848+280849+280850+280851+280852+280853+280854+280855+280856+280857+280858+280859+280860+280861+280862+280863+280864+280865+280866+280867+280868+280869+280870+280871+280872+280873+280874+280875+280876+280877+280878+280879+280880+280881+280882+280883+280884+280885+280886+280887+280888+280889+280890+280891+280892+280893+280894+280895+280896+280897+280898+280899+280900+280901+280902+280903+280904+280905+280906+280907+280908+280909+280910+280911+280912+280913+280914+280915+280916+280917+280918+280919+280920+280921+280922+280923+280924+280925+280926+280927+280928+280929+280930+280931+280932+280933+280934+280935+280936+280937+280938+280939+280940+280941+280942+280943+280944+280945+280946+280947+280948+280949+280950+280951+280952+280953+280954+280955+280956+280957+280958+280959+280960+280961+280962+280963+280964+280965+280966+280967+280968+280969+280970+280971+280972+280973+280974+280975+280976+280977+280978+280979+280980+280981+280982+280983+280984+280985+280986+280987+280988+280989+280990+280991+280992+280993+280994+280995+280996+280997+280998+280999+281000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/69\/69f8448f5a61f6a4f179792a19ecf819f8ef9f44f4999a7e94c8f77f8ad185ad","record":"shard-3\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/24671837d8ac4b2f60bfb21e32e4fffab3a92dbca0944ad64969ecb9dd1cdcd4.json","sha256":"69f8448f5a61f6a4f179792a19ecf819f8ef9f44f4999a7e94c8f77f8ad185ad","source":"https","stored_at":1784022373}}
