I am so bad at controlling these types of games hahaha super well polished though, I loved the visuals and lighting, and loved the touch of having an upgrade system!

I really like this project! At first I thought the theme interpretation of this game was pretty weka, but I didn't realize the blackhole was getting bigger after I read th GDD, so thumbs up from me!
