Incredibly striking visuals and the constantly ascending sound track give the feel of constant yet surreal expansion of the bottom line. A game that knows its art style and the punchline it wants to convey well. The only flaw is even on my decent PC, it was chugging a bit by the end.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Yes all this dark magic physics gets pretty bad in terms of performance (seems to be especially on web browsers), we are working on updates to optimize :)

That's a satisfying art style and color palette! I enjoyed growing my wealth while leaving a trail of destruction behind. My old laptop was struggling though after the first room.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed our game :)
Performance optimization is another story yes, we tried some things but lack the time to prevent the CPU from computing hundreds of collisions per frame in this giant mess 😅

Loved the game!

Unfortunately some items like plants and other office supply wouldn't get picked up which made me quite sad.

Developer

Thanks!

The pickup system can be a bit uncooperative, the best strategy is too go along the walls and it should pick everything :)

Wow everything about this game is soooo good! So satisfying with the mechanics, sound and visuals.

Developer

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed our game

The invisible hand's law of Universal Gravitation is destroying my PC🔥🔥. A very "serious" game, the physics so satisfying and the assets are so colorful. If stuff go around in counter clockwise, then it would also be the law of magnetism.

Developer

Oops we tried optimizing by limiting the number of flying things (80 instead of +300), but that's not enough on lower end devices. Thanks for playing!

This was a really creative game. Liked how the song just increased in layers as you progress on and the visual style was really beautiful. Excellent use of the theme!

This is a katamari damacy level game! I was a bit confused about what was happening in the first seconds of the game and didn't really know what to do until it zoomed out for the first time.

Nice experience, I especially liked the control of the hand, it's very immersive!

Developer

Yeah, Katamari Damacy and Donut County were our main inspirations. I’m happy you liked it!

Super fun and hilarious! I loved how chaotic the tornado got, it’s a really creative use of the theme, and the visual style is awesome.

Really cool, I wanted moooore!

Developer

Thanks! We had plans for more, but time was short x)

Developer(+1)

Well, we can always add DLC, micro-transactions, perhaps even some NFT! We’ll have to discuss it with the shareholders.

Thanks for playing the game! Glad you enjoyed.

Developer

Thank you! That’s exactly what we were aiming.

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

First of all: I love it. This is a very brief, yet incredibly enjoyable experience. I feel like I am part of the game world and partake in the procession of "owning everything" :D Has a great potential to zoom out and conquer more than the space, but completely perfect scope for a game jam!

The only thing I would change is that in the latest current stage of zooming out, your hand cursor gets really small and it is hard to see what you pick up because all the objects obstruct your view :)

Developer

Thank you!

Well, wouldn’t you know it, getting out in the streets and eventually taking on the Earth was at some point in the plan. But naturally it eventually appeared too ambitious, and it was better to just add more rooms.^^’

Omg this game is amazing, I love how it reminds me of those black hole .io games

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Developer

Thanks! I’m really happy you enjoyed it.
