Cute little game my only issue is that the game ends 5 seconds after becoming a black hole which is when I think the real fun would begin

Fun. But I do have some constructive feedback. It's quite short and ends shortly after you become a black hole, (exactly when the real fun would start) which is quite anti-climactic. I would've loved to play as Supermassive blackholes, slamming galaxies together and then to play as a SLAB. It's quite weird that when suns collide, as they loose mass they shed rocks for some reason, and they act more like solid objects than balls of gas. In the meteorite stage, if you slam into another meteorite, you lose way too much mass, and often the smaller object's gravity pulls it away. And generally you can't play too aggressively because often you loose more mass than you gain when you absorb equal size objects. (Which is weird, shouldn't you almost double in size?) Gravity in general behaves quite weirdly, as in: Farther objects with not much more mass than you can completely override your own gravity and you just stop absorbing mass, unless you fly into them. There isn't any indicator if you can absorb an object or not. All (same category )planets look the same size. And so almost every stage breaks down to you just dodging and stealing material made by other larger objects destroying each other. Lastly, as a Neutron star you can get absorbed by normal gas giants, which is... well, not very scientifically accurate to say the least. It's a cool little game but a little too arcade-y. And that's fine to a degree, but from a game like this I'd expect a bit more realism/scientific accuracy.

The game costs as much as a beer in a fancy bar. At least you don't get a hangover afterward.

It's okay on its own. If you haven't played Solar 2, then this game might feel awesome. Whole game with everything is my 2.4 hours. It looks good, sounds decent, plays well. An improvement over Solar 2 is that in this game destroyed objects always drop "mass", they don't just evaporate. The other thing is perks: it's a cool idea, some of them work great, others feel useless or overpowered. Downgrades compared to Solar 2 are: - Lack of missions and challenges. - The interactions with other objects are forced: they just follow you around, as opposed in Solar 2 where they are randomly generated in your path as you move. - The way you get mass is by breaking objects and collect the debris, but the physics of that debris is superweird. Often other objects nearby, for no apparent reason, steal debris that is closer to you, one time I even had it just go through me into another planet. Overall all this game feels arcade-y, while Solar 2 felt like an actual universe to explore. But it's a good experience still.

A graphically updated "Solar 2" with roguelite "upgrades" on new heavenly bodies you achieve. If you're going to copy an old game at least have the decency to have all the functionality of it. which includes the QoL feature of being able to spawn in as anything you previously unlocked instead of having to start from scratch. As well as, 'captured' bodies could also be absorbed via button press for resources. I do appreciate the capturing of satelites being more on purpose now. But the old system felt intuitive, - almost. "Solar 2" Is also under $5. *under $3? As of writing this review. Check it out. (Should run on toasters now.) As far as waste your time type games, that are drop in ready to play, there are worse copies in other genres. For cup o' coffee price, it's a nice coffee break type of game.
