The label on the jar says DON'T FEED THE DOUGH. Feed it anyway, and a sourdough starter rises off the windowsill, through an evacuated city, across the oceans and out to the stars, until it collapses into a supermassive black hole. A cosy idle game about one very bad idea.

About the game
Don't Feed the Dough
A jar of sourdough starter sits on a warm windowsill. The label says DON'T FEED THE DOUGH. You feed the dough.
It escapes the jar, eats the countertop, fills the cottage and rolls out into the street. Nobody gets hurt: everybody gets evacuated. Then the city, the country, the oceans and the Moon, until the dough is a planet, then a star, then a supernova, and at last a supermassive black hole of half a million Suns.

25 stages from a jam jar to a black hole, plus a prologue that goes back to the primordial ooze.
