The concept of the game is pretty simple, you play as a black hole and your objective is to grow. Once you reach a certain size you will create a new universe! I would've loved to add more to the game but I had some time constraints, however the game is pretty fun to play so I hope you enjoy it! This is my 2nd Ludum Dare entry.

Controls:
- Mouse pointer controls the black hole

Movement feel too slow when black hole grow up. :)

I love the idea of a Single Player Agar.Io but I feel that the game needs some challenge as the spike balls didn't give me any.

it is too slow when you grow up, but the game is fun

Nice game! Similar in design to mine (but very different in mood). Great music, nice work!

Not a bad game. Not a new concept but done pretty well. Nice feel and aesthetic.

I like the mood of the game. Good choice of music. The sound effect for picking up stuff kind of ruined it though, as it got really tedious to listen to.. Too bad, as it could've been a very soothing game otherwise.

Of course it reminds me of other games like agar or Solar, but I think with some more work it could have been great. This version lacks challenge imo

I like the spin on this type of game. I almost felt like moving up or down was way slower than moving sideways. Although I'm not sure why you lose some of your size (I guess it happens when you take too long to between consuming new orbs/universes), I did like the idea of having to regain it. Good job.

Looks nice. Movement does feel a bit slow (and moving up or down is slower than diagonally). But it had a good vibe to it.

Nice one, need a little more variations to be more fun but it's cool :)

The mood was so great!
I like the presentation, the music, the quotes and even those little dragon balls ^^

Maybe I can ressurect my black hole with those, right? ^^

So at first I thought I have to only collect purple stars as they matched my colour. Then when spiky things started to chase me I noticed that I do grow upon collecting anything.

This is the first game I play here that actually zooms out upon growing, so that's good. Unfortunately that also made the controls more sluggish - which made it less fun to play as I progressed.

Finally I conjoined with a fellow black hole because that looked like a good level exit ... oh well.

I wish it had more different interactive sound effects.

I do think the shrinking is too fast, but beside that a very nice game!

After size of 150 I've had a feeling of a real massivnes, it was a very nice experience. It was a surprising that you also created ending of the game with some message, good job!

Interesting game. Vertical movement is the only problem in terms of speed. I reached near screen size but then suddenly went down to a tiny mass of 8.

this is a very pretty game!

reminds me a little of solar 2 / agar.io, and the gameplay was rather relaxing.

I kinda wish there was a way to deal with the mines, other than just let them hit you, but other than that, it was very fun! Nice job :)

Nice mood, but probably needs more challenge!

Pretty calming game, if rather simple.

The game is more fun at the beginning that at the end. By the way, it is a nice work
