the theme looks novel! It seems simple but is deceptively challenging. If it weren't for my motion sickness, I would've tried harder, haha!
please review back if possible, thanks!

This is an interesting little game. I very much enjoyed seeing the other end on the horizon for the first time!

and now I am become geodesic, explorer of worlds...

I love the planet wrap-around movement, but the turn radius is a bit frustratingly wide... you see so much that you can't actually reach, nor can you back up to help maneuver into getting it :(

wormy boy should put some of that space dust towards a better turn radius

I have made a CATORUS RING

The tutorial text tasted the best

Very interesting take, nice graphics and ambiance. A bit simple. I would have made the radius of the planet bigger, also it's a tad frustrating to not be able to move back.

Neat game! I liked the ability to eat the tutorial text :laughing: - Also the "aha!" moment when you see your tail coming from the other side. My biggest complaint was the steering, but with the planet so small, it wasn't bad going around the long way. Good job!

It has some interesting ideas, the butt coming from the horizon was definatly funny moment, the ring idea was cool, but made the control kind weird, the last couple stars were extremly hard to eat until I understood how this weird control system works...

Interesting game! I think more rules and targets can be made to make it fun, and I found it dizzy when moving fast.

Weirdly eerie yet cute! my time was 224:20. Would love more control over going left or right :))

Very innovative game, nice work! I was confused about what happens when you crash into something without pressing the eat button, does it count as eating it or is it wasted? I think either way a progress bar would be very helpful.

Simple and straightforward mechanics, but no less cool for that. Nice job, bro!

Really fun game, very interesting concept! Felt a bit short but had a decent challenge level

The controls felt a bit weird but overall really nice game, I really liked the mechanic of going around the space rock and it was pretty funny to eat the tutorial labels and seeing yourself from behind. Also that final scene where you can see the Catorus ring was really satisfying to look at.

A good and simple game. It would be great to increase the rotation speed.

I like the idea of moving around a sphere. I was honestly waiting for a snake game, it feels weird your tail end isn't grounded and instead in fixed position. As others have mentioned, I also felt the steering was too weak.

I think I was able to bug the game out. I couldn't find any dust particles and was so close to completion. I wonder if I consumed too many particles in one chomp or something...

Good job.
