I was a bit bummed that the game was zoomed out so far as the sun and planets looked fantastic.  Perhaps feeding planets to the sun would be just as much fun.  Controlling the camera was a bit challenging.  Thanks for putting in the time and sharing this!"},{"author_name":"Insality","author_uid":"43734","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 9:04pm","epoch":1440536340,"text":"nice idea and implementation\r<br\/>hm, i have no problems with controls.. ))"},{"author_name":"Raspadsistema","author_uid":"2261","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:30pm","epoch":1440541500,"text":"Very, very pretty, 5\/5 for graphics and mood. Zooming away from the sun when the game starts makes it less pretty at first, but then the situation gets fixed quickly as other particle effects start showing up. The difficulty of guiding stars into the sun outwages the fun a bit, some tweaking could fix that. Only other complaint I have is the main character is the ugliest thing on the screen, not sure if drawing of gaping mouth was the best pick, but of course artistic freedom is all yours."},{"author_name":"Raspadsistema","author_uid":"2261","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:35pm","epoch":1440541800,"text":"Very, very pretty, 5\/5 for graphics and mood.
