i like the idea but it is hard to control it

i know it's been said before but the controls need improvement

Controls were a little janky, but overall the game has some nice graphics and great potential.

I love the concept and the artstyle, but having to hold down the mouse button is really uncomfortable.

I think movement with keys would be better, but overall great job!

I love the use of colours on the planet and the characters, and that music is super relaxing, I love it.

Gameplay is a pretty cool concept, nice and relaxing. maybe it could do with being a little more difficult I lasted about 5 minutes and decided to just let them grow for a gameover.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I agree it should maybe get harder sooner, - thanks for the feedback!

Love how it builds up pace but never gets quite stressful thanks to its calming music.  :)

Developer

Thanks and thanks for playing!

Well polished game! I'm not sure how it linked to the theme though (might just be me though!) The graphics were also really nice, good game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I figured by having to keep the guys small as your goal, then less means more, probably a slightly tenuous link! Also figured just having left to right with mouse and one button was pretty minimal, but again not obvious. Thanks again!

Cool little game with a unique idea behind it. It wasn't really clear if there was an end or it just went on forever.

Developer

Hehe, thanks for playing! If one of the guys gets too big then they'll collide with you and you'll die. (Their colliders are in the middle of them and quite small though, wanted to give it a chance to get a bit crazy with lots of big people!) Cheers!
