Help Gloobler the planet survive the Black Hole Arena! Use WASD to move and right-click to release an attack that destroys nearby enemies. The arena's limited space is slowly closing in, but destroying enemies can keep Gloobler alive a little longer.

Not recommended to play on weaker devices.

I think I got jumped by the planets a few times?
Fun for a few playthroughs.
Arena borders are a bit hard to recognize in the beginning. The attack wave takes a few ms before surpassing Glooblers hitbox and follows Gloobler, which took me a few attacks until I got it right.

This is definitely one of the better ones I have discovered, I love the mechanics and the overall simplicity of the gameplay. Personally, I would love to see the "limited space" concept becoming a more prominent element of the game, but overall great work!

Very simple but efficient, destroying a bunch of enemies in a single attack felt so satisfying! This could definitely be built upon with some form of simple player progression (upgrading attack range, cooldown, etc). Great job!

This is definitely one of the underrated games of this game jam. Fascinating mechanics and great attack feeling!

Simple but fun, well balanced in terms of movement, attack cooldown/effect and enemy spawning. Great art style for the characters!

Fun game and great visuals. I think the player should have more options to defend themself though.

It's a cute game with clear mechanics. The 3d arena I find cool looking, but the player and enemies' visuals (although pretty cool) are in a bit different style than that of it (the arena). Audio is also cute. I wish there was more stuff that is happening/possible in the game since the core is pretty solid! E.g. upgrades which change game variables like *attack range*, *cooldown*, *attack force*, etc. Lastly, I also kind of felt like that [space] should also act as the attack button : )
Overall, a great start to a potentially very addictive game :P
