Interesting toy; I liked the ambient sounds! I couldn't figure out if there was anything more to it than moving around though!

There's not much unfortunately! There are 2 different stages to play in, and you switch if you get big enough in the first.

We didn't get too far, but you can create (atm 2) different planets based on the ratio of elements you collect in the first stage.

It takes a few too many orbs to get between stages, sorry, but if you grow enough in stage two the camera will zoom out to see the whole system.

Thanks for playing!

It was a bit hard to figure out what am I supposed to do but when I got it, it was actually pretty entertaining! However, when my blue planet evolved to red game became unplayable (I guess there were too many particles.)

Very nice little game. A bit more time spent fleshing it out and it would be more enjoyable. Nicely done for the time constraint though.

The picking up specks was pretty hard but I carried on anyway! Nice ambince. My laptop runs most games (LD or commercial) ok, but iota hung my machine (well I was getting 1 frame every 30 seconds) once I got to the second stage so couldn't see any more.

I'm trying not to be a dick, but you have a huge pro-looking logo for your "company" and then... no game? Why would you submit this?

Alas, I cannot play an XNA game on Mac. Looks cool though.
