Congrats on completing the jam! I really like the concept of a chill growth game but I ran into two issues - when you're really small it is pretty annoying to try and pick up the dust, and getting hit by another asteroid is absolutely punishing. When I finally managed to get to a large size I immediately got hit by another asteroid and knocked from a mass of 23 back down to 10, losing several minutes of progress instantly. Given a couple tweaks I could see myself losing quite a bit of time to playing this!
Thanks for playing! Yes, I wholeheartedly agree the game is too difficult early game, and the collisions are too punishing. I'm not sure if this is something I would be allowed to tweak before the rating period ends...
I made a few tweaks, so if you decide to come back to this, I'd be interested in hearing your feedback on the new difficulty curve :
I gave it another shot and I found it much better this time around! A lot less punishing to get smacked. Was a lot of fun and I made it all the way to max size. If you kept developing after the jam, it'd be awesome if you could grow larger and larger and transform back into a planet.
Nice game. Have to spend more time with it. Just noticed the upgrade system when I had to stop.
Awesome game
