Another mostly successful Ludum Dare! Wasn't able to finish or polish the game to it's entirety, but at least it works. Can't wait to hear your opinions about it. Ratings on both ludum dare and itch.io pages are greatly appreciated. Thanks for playing!

Although, I couldn't farm the little dots easily.
The problem I had was the dot size, especially if you get knocked down after the screen zooms out. Chasing after the smaller dots becomes less of a reward and more of a chore.
This is one of those games that is great at getting you to explore without really telling you to do it though, it felt organic which was nice.
Really like the black and white aesthetic, I wanted to do something similar but went in another direction.
I love the progression, and the smoothness of movement. The music is nice too. However the introductory white noise sound doesn't loop properly.
The orbs were a bit hard to catch, at first. But once I got used to them it was alright. A minor pet peeve of mine was the sound of collecting them.
The ending was perfect.
I felt the controls were solid and mechanics addicting. Not much bad to say about this game. Very solid entry. I like the ending where you become all-consuming black hole. Nice touch!
Well done. I can see this entry going far!
When playing in fullscreen and clicking on 2nd monitor I lost ability to dash for some reason, that's the only minor bug I have found.
Solid!
