How does your game fit the theme?

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code was written from scratch. The music was downloaded and I mashed some sounds together for the explosion.

Took me too long to play this game, but it was really fun, good work on it.

Thanks for the review & rating! Would you say that the length of the game is a problem, considering it's for a game jam? I know a lot of people prefer the games to be shorter for competitions like this.

I imagine it would be awesome chill game, but the waiting just doesn't do it for me. It was great when i got stuff, but waiting minutes is bit much.

It only this balancing issue. Other than that is nice looking game. Good job.

Wow, i am a big fan of space cosmic theme, and i definitely love this game, but the gameplay is pretty silly tho =)

Good work !

Your game is a very interesting take on the theme! The game was very enjoyable and visually pleasing! My only critique is to maybe use pseudo-random to create a smoother spawn chance for sun stuff :)

Very Good! Game definitely fits the theme well! I will say it's a bit slow. There were several times when I would have to wait several minutes before getting any more sun stuff. Otherwise I liked it!

I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I didn't put the bursts on a timer or anything, but there is a random chance each frame for one to spawn. This means that sometimes you'll get tons and other times you'll have to wait longer before you get one. I just got used to saving them up before exploding the star so they'd be ready for the next one

Truly an incredible work: it fits the theme perfectly in a very original way, the mechanics are simple but well developed, the music is perfectly spot on and relaxing and the main menu is impactful.

Among the best games I've tried, congratulations!

ps. I also reached the finale, it took me a while but I reached the black hole.

Thank you so much!

This is (by far) the best game in this jam i've played that actually follows the theme, great job!
