Supernova

// Created for Trijam #162: It's All Connected

"We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.”  ― Neil DeGrasse Tyson

INSTRUCTIONS: 

You are a wannabe supernova. Become the star you were always meant to be - who will one day explode into the star dust that makes up all of life as we know it! Use the arrow keys or WASD to move. Collect any space junk that is smaller than you to grow. Avoid larger junk!
