Keep'em Small
In a parallel dimension, a sentient entity has to keep the energy levels of its universe stable. Some planets are using a massive amount of energy while growing, so the Topster God has to keep them small in order to maintain the universe flow.

Ho and I just realised thanks to your screenshot that there is a score ! Would be great to have it on a game over screen.
The game is so demanding that I didn't look at that part of the screen. Did 265 points (I think) on my last try.

Yeah, the gameplay is very broken, I didn't have time to balance stuff. The idea is to have both hands working, but in mobile. This prototype is a test of concept. I'll tweak it soon enough and try to fix it. Thank you so much for the feedback

Really loved this idea of clicking fast among every planet the fast as possible, a very good mechanic that requires fast observation and reflex as well.
This kind of game is really fun to play, great job!

My favorite part was the audio.
Placing various objects on the screen where your hand will cover is a bold bet.
It can be bad, or it can be part of the challenge.
Tip: Give more feedback about what is going on, sometimes you can not tell which planets need to decrease.

The music is fantastic! I didn't really have much idea what I was doing, though, and when I figured it out, I wasn't particularly satisfied at the idea of just clicking my brains out. Maybe that's just me. The art is quite nice, also. Great job!

High score of 710; I'm not entirely sure which planet needs focus so that is mostly luck and a lot of clicking :) I do really like your graphics and music though. It might be neat to add more planets over time as a way of ramping the difficulty.. Beyond that I'd just love to see some obvious animation indicating when planets are growing / need attention.

It looks like clicking on a planet makes them smaller but it is not obvious because there is not much feedback. We must click a lot and fill the planet gauge to succeed ?
We have two hands. Is it possible to use both in the same time ? Because if it is not, and if I understood everything, the game is very hard. I didn't manage to last more than a few seconds.
Anyway with a bit more of explanations or feedback and some tuning it will be very fun, congratulations.
