I had not that much time so I couldn't make use of the full 48 hours. Nevertheless I wanted to finish my project in the spirit of ludum dare. It might not be much of a game, because the theme didn't give me much inspiration. So I tried just to have a good time developing with Unity :)
This gets really hard really fast, wow :) And I forgot what the powerups did almost immediately, so I kept not using them, which made my life a bit harder.
It's an interesting take on the theme; I think my main complaint is that there's no indication of how big the planet can grow, so I'm never sure how close to disaster I am. Or maybe that's deliberate?
I really liked the light colours used in this game. I think it would have been a little nice if the cursor was a little spaceship, or something. It's a nice entry, good job (:
I have to admit, I skipped the instructions the first time I played and it was a very confusing experience. I managed to work out how to use the power ups, but it was tough to keep track of what they all did. Very pretty and zen experience
Nice game that gets quite hectic very fast. Note that it is impossible to remember all power-ups just from the help screen. This game might work well as a mobile game. There you could gradually add power-ups (and have people buy them using IAP 🤑
Your game is damn addictive ! I must say that I didn't expect that after reading your post presentation saying that this "might not be much a game" : ) Nice work ! It's simple and quite efficient. What could be great if you'd have the opportunity to take it further is to make the upgrade with the keyboard rather than with a click, which is kind of harsh considering the difficulty of grabing the little spheres. Also you may have something to improve regarding the clarity of the objectives and failing reasons. But overall it's already a good experience. We just rated it !
I love the graphics for the start screen! Was very confusing at first but i'll admit ... i may have skipped the instructions, then I got really into it.
Didn't notice the help button the first time I played and I was totally lost. Second time was a bit better, but I still did quite poorly. I feel like this game would be much more playable on a touch screen, perhaps, but it was crazy hectic for me and I could never manage to get past the 3rd level. Good job!

I had some problems with the cursor, but it fixed it self after a while.
