Instructions

Push button, pull levers, press knobs. All to balance the amount of matter in the right ratio. But you have to do it fast enough or the total mass wont be sufficient. If you don't follow the instructions the singularity will explode too early, we don't want that right?

Now stop reading this and start making big bangs already.

I really would like to know how you came up with this idea.
Looks amazing, for reals.
The sound, the interface, the gameplay...
I love it...

Thanks for this game... =)

I was struggling to figure out what to do but eventually figured it out. Not before I randomly hit the explode button and this line: "such competence..." had me actually laughing out loud. Great job!

That's quite an interesting game concept you have there. Just one thing, perhaps it's better to make a tutorial level, showing what each button does. People don't like reading a wall of text at the start of a game and it's better to explain it by actually doing it. The game looks and sounds very appealing though, good job!

Very innovative gameplay. Thumbs up!
I like the mood of the game. I think it comes from the great athmospheric audio background.

Strangely fun and atmospheric. That anti-matter knob seemed a bit fiddly, but then maybe all of the round ones do with mouse control. Also love the big red button and especially the instructions.

Great UI and sense of humor. Gameplay is a little confusing, v. 2.0 would love instructional pops / a first time player experience. Great work!

made some times to understand that the "explode button" isn't here to pass to next phase faster ^^

I won my first (real) game (the three previous one I clicked on explode button in early phase lol)

Really love your game, the big bang is a very good idea ^^ and the art and mood are good !

It's a great game, the moon is great, sound and visuals line up perfectly. This deserves a lot more votes.
Couldn't get past phase 3 the voltility kept going up while I was adding more flow. But over all loved the game. Great job dude!

Really cool. I had an idea like that but I'm glad I haven't done it because I would have been ashamed compared to that.

Well done <3

This is an amazing game, and the first I've given top ratings to across the board.

Everything is well done, I enjoyed the subtle humor, the exploration of mechanics, the play itself and the narrative nuggets, the sounds (and didn't miss any music); it all reinforced the mood of a big-bang creation cockpit.
