  • Fun and polished little game. The core idea is super simple, but reversing your orbit to smash asteroids feels great and gets addictive fast. I liked that it is easy to understand, but still leaves room for different strategies and tense moments in later waves. The upgrade choices during gameplay keep the pressure on nicely. Overall this is a very strong, clean and enjoyable jam entry!

A simple game that is easy to pick up. I do hope that there is a slowdown or time stop when I could upgrade.

Very addictive. I played this on mobile and it works good there too. Good job with this! Might only thing would be to after jam balance the sfx a bit. Otherwise, solid mobile entry with this one. Good job.

Perfect example of a simple idea that has been done really well, had a lot of fun with it! 3 lives for the Orb seemed like the perfect amount to keep me locked in and as good as the sentries are, those later waves are brutal!

Big fan of the fact the game doesn't pause when you have to select an upgrade, really increases the challenge and keeps you engaged.
