A chilled game where you use your orbiting satellite to position the Hydrogen and Helium molecules into the centre circle. Collect enough and get the right balance to give birth to a beautiful new star. Only thing I ask is that you plat it at least twice.
For my first Ludum Dare I tried to stick with just the one theme, but ended up doing both anyway. Thinking of having just two button controls I didn't want to tie either them to movement so the next thing that came into my mind was having one to attract something towards you and the other to repel it. This made me think about gravity and how in space molecules will come together and form stars. This also fitted within the theme of growing as the more you gather the bigger your star shall become.
P.S. Remember to get the molecules into the CENTRE CIRCLE. I wrote it in flashing letters on the title screen but from the feedback I had some people still miss it.
