Interesting game. Once I break all the dust and the planet starts the breakthrough process there was a loop of the dust constantly 'merging' into the planet, but If I do not click the loop keeps going. I did not know that, I was a little confused to be honest. I could complete the game. Great music selection BTW.

Thank you for playing! I’m glad you were able to complete the game, and I’m happy the music landed well.
The confusion during Breakthrough makes sense. The dust pulsing into the planet is supposed to support the transformation moment, but the game does not currently explain that the player should click the planet core to push the Breakthrough forward. Without that explanation, it can look like the game is stuck in a loop.
I’m going to update the prompts so Breakthrough is clearer, and add a failsafe so players cannot get stuck there if they miss the interaction. Thanks for pointing that out.
