Usually not into clicker type games but seeing the planet grow and all is very satisfying! Well done!

Neat little game! I very enjoyed seeing how the planet transforms as i add more elements! I’m not sure the numbers are well balanced as from what i can see grass just has the best cost/gain ratio, so there isn’t much point in clicking other things other than seeing the planet change :D

Great chill game with cute visuals that work well together! It feels a little bad to have your progress get essentially wiped every time the meteor comes, but there's totally an interesting concept for a clicker game there somewhere. If there was a bit more agency behind the reset (perhaps the player can gain or lose progress, risk factor) when the meteor comes that might feel a bit more rewarding as far as an incremental game goes. Thematically, it works a treat though. Lovely work, I had a fun time!
I liked this little clicker game, and I think the audio and art fit it quite well. It was a very chill vibe and I ended up playing the game until I reached the goal. :)
i love clicker games, this was fun and neat. my first world i dumped all my dna before the meteor came and realized thats not the meta, but instead to hoard dna at the end, making me step away and afk earn like a true incremental clicker game which i enjoyed, until i beat the game without looking at the screen and couldnt continue LOL, maybe make the win condition intentional instead of automatic, but that was also on me lol. i would love to see a larger release of this game with more mechanics and polish, super fun game i had a great time, would love an updated larger release !!
NOOOO WHY CAN'T I CONTINUEEEE
What an absolutely cute game, loved it.
Really neat game! The concept is a really unique twist on clicker games. I love the theme, as a big space geek, and I loved that you could spin around the earth and see space all around. I liked seeing all the animals and stuff moving around on the Earth, too! I think my main criticism is that the meteor as it is is a bit punishing - I think players should still be able to keep the creatures they have in some form. For example, I think it would be interesting if you could evolve the short grass into the tall grass or the smaller dinos into the bigger ones (instead of buying them separately and having them coexist); then, when the meteor hits, those creatures get devolved (since bigger creatures with more needs tend not to survive), but they're not gone completely, so you can still evolve them after some time. I also think it would be interesting to have the meteor give something special that helps you progress that you can't get anywhere else, like some resources or raw materials that help you evolve or something - when I think to Cookie Clicker, it reminds me of the wrinkly creatures that reduce your CPS while they're there but give you more overall cookies when you pop them. Something similar, where the big bad meteor that hurts you in some ways but also gives you something valuable in return, would definitely make the game really interesting. Great work, awesome job on the game!
Love the game so much, somehow I want to grab the hitbox so I can click much faster... but finally realize, I should enjoy the destruction and rebirth, the loop of life... There is Zen in this game! Master
Amazing ! most healing game so far ! somehow i was connect with the little planet and didnt want it to get hit and the text of the dna to save the planet pops up i got so encouraged
Very fun! I liked the asteroid reset mechanic. I love how I can repopulate a barren rock with just cars.
This is just a super relaxing and beautiful game. How did you make this in only 96 hours??? Amazing stuff!
Another cozy incremental game. It was fun to see the little critters hopping around. I wish I could have seen the final state of my world or keep populating it just to watch.
Had quite some fun playing this one! Happy to report that beat the game on a Stegosaurus run! First loop i kind of zoned out spamming grass-2 and forgot about the countdown! was surprised at the sudden music change and a meteor wth?! Fun concept and clicker is an annoyingly addictive mechanic :) the fx on meteor strike and planet morphing is really well executed! I guess if i had to wish for anything is somehow to push me to think more strategically which elements to add to the planet, like a multiplier for particular combos? otherwise as soon as you ramp up - Stegz alone get the job done ;) 
Really nice art and calming music. An interesting idea on an iterative game that resets your progress as well. It's cool seeing the world come to life
Totally understandable!! Originally, the whole point was that the asteroids were kind of like a forced prestige system like a tycoon game, where they would give you different metal ores you could spend on permanent upgrades including some like unlocking species that can survive the asteroids, but unfortunately I ran out of time u_u. thank you for playing anyway!
Glad you liked them!! I really enjoyed making them :) Thanks for playing!
