It took me a long time to figure out what I have to do, I kept avoiding asteroids but then I took the risk and noticed my mass growing. I think that's the goal, but I'm not sure? Could definitely use some more explanation on that part. Also I don't understand how the growing works because sometimes I did grow and sometimes I didn't on hitting an asteroid :/

Yeah, I'm sorry the game lacks some explanation haha. I wanted to make it so the game was understandable without much text, but it turns out there's a part of "luck" to that (based on where you stand), but you have to find ways to make the spaceships run into asteroids (in what I intended, the first spaceship would come and quickly get hit by an asteroid).
The reason you lose matter is probably due to spaceships shooting you.
And yeah, the goal is to absorb things so you can become more massive.
I didnt have much time to do playtesting and comments like yours are really usefull, thank you haha
