A fun game, I liked taking apart the entire solar system

It did feel a bit slow at times but reading the comments I'm now realizing that apparently there's a dash that I somehow missed

Short and sweet overall, time constraints will do that

I loved the different vibes on every level. Definitely a great core concept, you could go a lot of places from here. 

Submitted

You've done a lot here with the atmosphere, it was a bit of shock when I absorbed that rat and it screamed.

Done a good job with the theme.

Submitted

Nice work! I liked the change of pace in level 3 but felt level 4 was a little slow, so glad the dash was added. Cool particle effects and ending!

Submitted

Really cool idea :) I ate the sun :D 
The dashing really helped in the end because i felt like a snail.

Submitted

Nice take on the theme. I like the way you adjusted the zoom as you grew and showed scale. The final level did get a bit tedious finding the last things to consume, especially since I had already tried the sun and it wasn't until I circled everything again that I went back and retried it. Perhaps boost the base speed a bit on that level.

Submitted

Pretty neat concept! I liked the effect of everything in the world getting smaller in relation to the main character; it sells the effect of growing larger in a pretty cool way. I think the main character could in general move faster, and I think it would be nice to have the dash from the beginning, rather than just for the final level.

Other than that, nice job!

Cool concept, it's very Katamari Damacy/Donut County. The game play is a little slow, at times there isn't much going on, but overall I enjoyed my time with it. And I found out I could swing those red particles around really fast just by moving in a circle, and managed to get some stuck behind some walls, which I don't think was intentional but it was really fun to do lol.

Submitted

Easy to understand, haha I really liked the 3rd and 4th levels. I found myself wishing I could go faster though, even with the dash at the end

Submitted

This was pretty fun, though I did find it a little slow at times, and I loved the blood particles, they made me laugh!

Submitted

nice simple concept, easy to understand and play- i wouldve loved to see the actual thing you play as with a texture instead of being a sphere, but thats just a personal opinion- audio was alright but very loud and spikey at some points.  overall a good entry, with a couple potential improvements here and there!

Submitted

The concept is great , a little slow to start to make sense, didn't really understood  until I started to eat people ahahah
Great job!

A relaxed game that reminds me a lot of Agar.io I liked the sound effects but the music felt very somber. Overall good job!
