Wow, there are so many upgrades, I wasn't expecting that. Really well done, the gameplay feels solid!

On my first run I died in like 3 seconds just because I walked away for a moment. Now it's clear how dangerous that is and how fast it can kill you. Not a huge issue, but maybe it would be better to warn players or give them a little more time at the start.

Thanks for playing! Yeah I updated to ramp the difficulty much faster with larger asteroid waves but didn't really account for timing, I did like it so I'd probably look at balancing other parts of the game. Also the upgrade menu doubles as a pause menu which I probably should have stated somewhere.

That was pretty hard, but I still like your game! Great idea

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Hello! For the last day of the jam I have posted an update:

  1. Large asteroid clusters! No more waiting for that gold, shoot those rocks and let the gold descend xD
  2. Upgrade tree now requires spawning 1 as a pre-requisite for upgrades.
  3. More camera shake bby! That's right now almost everything shakes the camera for that sweet, sweet action :P
  4.  Along with a few minor bug fixes/code re-organization that don't really affect gameplay.

The game is really fun and challenging. Other than the slow start and short survival duration outside the platform, it's a solid game. I really like the Upgrade system, gives the player agency.
Just a suggestion, maybe you can give the option extend the platforms by spending coins so player can move around more.

Awesome game. Great job! Would love to play more.

Fun game, the start is really slow, bought the spawning upgrade first just for something to do, its much more fun with that, I'd just start the game with that number of spawns.

Thanks for playing!

Nice game. However it is a bit slow. As others have commented, give the play more space to move and more time to survive outside the spaceship.

Thanks for playing

Great game; Would love if the astronaut could survive longer outside of the plataform, ut regardless, liked!

Thanks for playing!

the game doesn't launch on the site

Developer

What browser?

Most likely it's because I'm in Russia, but when my game also didn't start and I enabled SharedArrayBuffer support, everything worked

Developer

Ah ok. Not sure why that needs to be enabled, for me it'll break the game, I've tried but it may be a thing with Pyodide since the WASM needs to be downloaded and it may be blocked for you.

It was a nice game - progression just felt a little too slow and it would've been nice for the astronaut to have a longer survival time outside of the platform. The sounds and concept are good however, so well done!

Thanks for playing! Yeah I had ideas for platforms for the player to move between or just an ending by landing on the planet, it does get stale
