    Great game, though the controls on mobile are a bit too imprecise.

    As you drag a hole, the size widgets should disappear so you can better see what's around it. They could pop back up again once you're done dragging.

    Personally I'd rather if you had to press a button or something (or long press?) to add a new hole. I keep accidentally adding new ones when all I want to do is adjust an existing one.

    Also spamming the user with the help screen right off the bat is a bit much. As long as they know it's there and can pull it up / dismiss it, I think it would be more fun to sort of discover the game mechanics yourself.

    Note several of the first 8 or so levels can be accomplished with a single minimum (8) sized black hole. Eg. I liked the simplicity of doing that on level 6.

      Being able to actually drag a hole makes it a little easier as well..! (Didn't even realize that was a thing as it was broken on mine...playing on desktop now)
