Cool game, I really like that you shoot your planets out, which forces you to always pick up new ones.

Very fun and addictive game. Graphic are very cool.

Really fun game. I enjoyed the trade off in play style you can have. You can either try to collect lots of planets to get power ups and then try to time shots to avoid shooting planets (but then you run into more enemies). Or you shoot the planets ASAP but then you don't get those interesting effects

Awesome job! I really liked the concept and it was hella fun! There were so many red suns at the beginning, perhaps it would've been nice if there were phases.

Cool game! Gets a bit hard very quick but I find the orbiting planets mechanics nice and it really adds an incentive not to stay in the same place all day. I think the freeze-frame really sells the damage effect but maybe make it a bit shorter cuz it feels like I’m gonna die every time :D Overall a very polished experience that I think can be turned into a fully-featured game after the Jam quickly and that will find its audience.

5/5 Stars enjoyment

(on another note, if you like programming challenges, I hope you’ll try our game)

Well done! I had fun playing this, it felt like the odds were not in my favor at first with all the angry suns, but I got into it!

Pretty fun game, got a highscore of about 90k. At times it didn't feel like I was under much pressure and I could just circle the enemies though. The visuals for each powerup could be clearer, the text often went away very quickly so I largely stopped paying attention to individual powerups and instead collected anything in sight (not necessarily bad, but reduces player choice)

Fun and Addictive, but I wish your planets were more visible. Great game nonetheless!

Very interesting and catchy game. I like the loop design for planets. Also VFX are soo good. If you have a free time pls try our game Loop Cuisine.

Amazing job, it's really addicting . Art work is awesome and so is the mechanic

This is pretty sick! I like how the upgrade collection/ditching keeps you moving. Good job!

Fun game, artwork is great with a fun execution

Really cool idea! Took a little bit to get the hang of, and it could be very chaotic at times, but I had a lot of fun :3

Really cool concept! Loved the game design and the artwork, the music blended so well with the gameplay too.

Art is great but the audio design is actually incredible, it was very fun listen to the track. All the sfx (which was indeed a little loud) also fits very well with the music too.

Pretty interesting take on the theme, but honestly I feel like it was a bit tacked on to fit the theme rather than a focus of the game. I mean, it's about celestial bodies, but you pretty move like a normal top down shooter, except for the bit that there are planets, which are upgrades that orbits around you. I thought the mechanics of being able to shoot your upgrade away is a bit weird as well. I feel like I never really want to do that, I just do it on accident when I try aiming at the enemies and it feels bad when it happens.

Some other nitpicks on the gameplay includes: the asteroids look to samey to the background, which is hard to differentiate, unlike the sun and the mob enemies (red dwarfs). I also thought the arena area is a bit too small for this type of game, so it felt too restrictive.

Really cool! I really loved the art and was overall just a fun game

Submitted(+1)

extremely fun game :D i love the main mechanic and how different planets give different things its so cool :D

Submitted(+1)

Really love the idea that upgrades can become stronger bullets by shooting them.
