Earth Eaters by chionic
Help as many little goo blobs grow and blast off into space as possible before they take up all the resources on the planet. - Hover the mouse over surrounding planets to collect resources. - Hover over a goo blob of the same colour as the mouse cursor to feed it. - If a goo blob gets too small it will use the planet's resources.

The hovering targeting seems fast and effective when there are few goos. When there are so many goos, it seems to not always feed the goos. I think it was a lack of feedback on where i was feeding.
Switching between food colour was where it annoyed me a little. It would waste food in the switch. I imagine a hose with switching between food sources might be more satisfying, but maybe thats part of the core concept of the game so..
My score when i played a 2nd or 3rd time: 1131.964
All in all a great achievement this compo :D
Jogo simples que escala rapidamente a jogabilidade. Gostei do balanceamento, uma sugestão de design poderia ser a adição de algumas ações secundárias que ajudem o jogador quando há muitos blobs, por exemplo "durante 30 seg nenhum blob de uma cor irá aparecer". Parabéns. :flag_br:
Nice game you've made here, congratulations :)
however, the theme don't fit very well IMO (maybe too easy) : it's much like "the more enemy you have the worse it is"
very good job though !
