VERY CUTE AND ADORABLE! Love the kawaii art style and polished color palette. But the coziness hides the real challenge beneath it. The idea of gravity as the scaling component is creative but can use a little more balancing. Good job for this game! :)

Really cute and enjoyable game ! I was hooked ! I thought I was doing pretty good, but got caught off-guard by the sudden difficulty spike at level 11.

No Rain No GainIt's so neat and tidy and cute that I don't know what to say... My only grievance is that, as say in the description, it's pretty hard, and I couldn't go very far. Good job though!

Shadow of the DragonfishVery simple mechanics that work super well. I love myself a roguelike. The art style is very cute! Good job team! I want to see more upgrades but I keep dying before I can get to more then 4 ;-;

SUPER GIMBAL!What a nice little game!
Love how you kept things simple while using an inovative movement / attack mecanic. The art and souds are super cute too!
The game feels very difficult, not so much that it becomes frustrating, but I think the main issue there is that upgrades don't do enough compared to the increase in monster quantity. 10% to moon size? Why not 100%?
I had a nice time and tried several time to go further, so it's clearly a good game! Great job!

Scaled By DesignJust a really well designed little game!
Enjoyment: I found the game easy to pick up and understand. Having the player level up to unlock new elements for the build was really effective at keeping me engaged and I genuinely kept replaying to see how much further I could get if I optimized my build.
Creativity: I think creatively the game is a nice twist on this genre of defend from swarm games. I like how you integrated the theme, i think changing the scale of gravity and by extension your range was a cool way to do it. I also like that you can scale the size of the moon, and that it is actually a major component in optimizing the moon because if its big and it blocks bullets then it becomes waaaay more useful. (very nice synergy! but now I have appeared to wander back into enjoyment talk.)
Style: The game is just so pretty and cute. Everything that should provide visual feedback does and most of the enemy designs are effective and clear. In general the game is just very readable. My one piece of feedback in this area is that I think the small drill enemies are the hardest to see because they are small and share a similar color palette to the background.
All in all, I had a ton of fun. Well done.
