Armageddon
Major Jam 4: Cosmic
Description -
You play as a giant mutant octopus who's just destroyed the planet he was living in because he was super based. And now he plans on destroying everyone else's planet too and becoming the most powerful entity in the universe.
How to play -
The only way he can become hella powerful is by eating everything he sees. By eating asteroids and later, planets, he can get bigger and more powerful. Click 'E' when you come across an asteroid to eat it.
But, beware of the suicide bombers! They have been planted by the planet governments to stop aliens like you. They can be seen sitting on big asteroids with the sole intention of blowing up everything that moves! To beat them, you can either use your laser by clicking 'R' or you can cheat your way out which will be talked about in the next section. Now, make sure you get big enough before you approach a planet because as soon as you get near it, they will sound the alarm and their space force will be deployed to beat you up. In this version of the game, you will come across three planets, each stronger than the one before, and if you take damage, you shrink, so be careful not to shrink too much otherwise you'll obviously die.
(This game is unfinished. You can only attack 1 planet for now.)
Cheat! --
Now here's how you cheat the game! You, the player, have the ability to pause the game at any time move anything to anywhere! Press 'C' to pause the game and try dragging things around. If you find a position for an object you're comfortable with, click 'V' to continue. Try using this to your advantage when you're in a tricky situation and it might as well come in handy.

The game is supergood. Great mechanics and nice implementation of the cheat. But, in webgl it's almost unplayable due to lagging. You should make a downloadble version
Thanks for the feedback. The lag was because of a mistake in the settings. You can check it out now it should work fine. And yeah we'll put a downloadble version soon.
Hello,
The game is quite interesting and fun to play. The concept of this game is pretty unique. However, the game feels a little boring due to the lack of challenges and a lot of tutorials. Also, the movement of the player could be more smooth and the separation between the background and the foreground where the player is playing could be made more clear.
