Spam Space To Exist

Introduction

You are nothing. Well, for now. If you spam the spacebar in Spam Space To Exist you can exist, then you can get bigger by absorbing stuff! If you absorb enough stuff, you might be able to absorb the biggest stuff, like, say... a planet! The people living here are no fun and they don't much like that idea, so you'll have to absorb them too with all their silly technology.

Game Objective

Your objective in Spam Space To Exist is to exist as much as possible, which means getting really big. By touching floating debris you absorb it and it sticks to you, becoming you. When you get big enough, your final goal is to absorb the local planet. However, it is heavily defended.

When useful technology sticks to you, it starts working for you. Weapons are especially useful for fending off enemies, but these puny beings are also very susceptible to a good clobbering by your mighty girth. The bigger you are, the more damage you inflict when you bash enemies. Destroyed enemy ships will drop their useful bits, good for absorbing.
