A very good start for novice developers!
There are remarkable issues, however. My honest opinion about the game:
1. The game looks like the genre “eat the planet”, that's why I assessed low on innovation
2. I liked the idea of assets changing when the flame is growing (I believe only several devs make so), but maybe you could add some enemies, like a river, rain, or something like that. Also as @Tazou317 said, it is very possible to get lost in the space, so you could add the ability to find the closest objects
3. The graphics are good, because the flame changes, many various entities. The only issue is that there is no exp that can be seen. I really think that the player would be satisfied to see the result of his actions in that way!
Keep going, I know that you can do your best!
