After I realized that there are indicators that show if I can "eat" debris or if it will destroy me I got a lot better at the game =) It's really fun to play.
Very cool and fun implementation of the "agar.io"-genre. You could improve the font a bit (took me about 5 deaths to really notice the onscreen-tutorial). And instead of using the 2-button-theme (you already have growing) I think it would be more useful to build in left and right movement.
Great graphics, tough game but I persevered, being an Osmos veteran. The controls take a bit of getting used to, and that definitely seems to be a negative in most people's eyes. I guess it's part of the nature of Ludum Dare that people get through so many games so quickly that they don't have time to get used to anything that isn't immediately familiar
Very nice looking game! Gameplay is simple but fun. There is too much randomness to be good at this game, when you're in bad luck you get surrounded by red pieces of debris.
Well done!
Next time please make a WebGL build, so everybody can use their default browser ;)
Nice art style! I think the level design is based on some randomness, which is pretty sad here because sometimes, the game is just impossible. Enormous "particles" block the way and you just have to wait your death. Very good work though!
Fun game, but to hard for me, great job. I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629
This is a nice twist on sidescrolling space-shooters, and I'm not even normally a fan of that genre. The graphics are great, the SFX are appealing, and the growth mechanic adds a bit of a difficulty increase. I also felt that you put in a bit of leeway in whether or not your little star-to-be hits something, not the usual "touch something and you die".
Would be nice if you could restart by pressing a button instead of clicking the option. Also, a small problem that might need fixing: it's possible to get knocked back until you're almost off the edge of the screen. Those minor problems aside, this is a very neat and professional game.
It's actually really satisfying to play this! I love how the bigger you get, the more of the disc you can see. It seems well balanced, and it's really fun to play. Good job!

i wish controls to be more responsive, tho :)
