I think the game doesn't really fit the theme. Nevertheless, there are some interesting solutions that should have been told to the player directly in the game, not on the Ludum page

The audio is really well done in this game. Everything has appropriate sound and the levels are balanced well. The music is nice. The visuals are simple, but everything fits together, it's clean, and the animations are satisfying. I'm not really feeling the theme or gameplay personally, but there's a lot of promise in the other elements. Good work. :)

Love the vibe of this game (and the menus are very clean too, even if i went deaf on them because some sounds didnt go down with their volume sliders..) but im not sure how this game fits with the theme, also it's REALLY confusing to figure out, took me alot of messing around to get "crafting" to work and that was only after alot of trial and error, and when the game is all about the player doing experiments and messing around with stuff the game shouldve at least helped on letting the player know how they should start properly

The audio and the general visual style was nice, but I haven't actually managed to play. I can spawn new balls and... nothing else? the camera and the shop buttons are not working, score is always zero, can't get it.

This is an amazing game. I was hooked on it for half an hour. Huge potential for development. I really liked the graphics, sounds and gameplay.

It seems like the craft menu is bugged and will automatically close without any input the majority of the time. Really like the style and would have loved to experience your full vision.

Really nice entry, great art style, great mood. Really good take on the theme, a simple core gameplay with so much depth to it. Well done!

It was fun trying to create different types of things. I was more so stunned by the UI at the start. Looked really nice!

That got me so into it for more than an hour. After that the black hole seems to become broken and didn't accept any balls and I haven't yet made it to second grey ball. I hope this will be fixed some time or did I miss something?
Anyways, the game is awesome and fascinating. Great job!
