Build up your cosmic wrath by devouring adorable, unsuspecting space critters, then watch them flee in fear as you devour their worlds! Just be careful you don't get surrounded by the trigger-happy Space Police - they don't care that you're as old as the universe, only that you're eating planets in their jurisdiction! They will end your reign of terror sooner or later, but until then, munch, crunch, and devour everything in your path!\r\n\r\nKeyboard and gamepad supported. Left\/right to rotate, up to move forward. Devour critters to restore health and build power. When the Big Crunch gives off a green glow, press Z on the keyboard or A on the gamepad to become an unstoppable charging beast!\r\n\r\nCreated in Love2D. Graphics created in Aseprite. Sound effects created with Audacity and Bfxr. Music composed in FL Studio.\r\n\r\n***POST-JAM RELEASE***\r\n\r\nVersion 1.1 is a minor update, fixing some ugly framerate issues that cropped up at later levels. The Big Crunch is now 99% less likely to teleport through planets at high speed. Also, the game should run more consistently overall on different hardware.\r\n\r\nGamepad controls have also been adjusted. On an Xbox 360 controller, use left and right on the analog stick\/D-pad to steer and RB to move forward.\r\n\r\nEnjoy! (And as always, be sure to base your ratings on the 1.0 version!)
