Theme Interpretation
The way I tied my game to the theme is twofold: "bounty" is the kindness of guiding the shooting star across the galaxy; and "bounty" also refers to being rewarded for collecting the previous stage's stars, by the environment (the satellites) becoming friendlier/easier to manage for the player.

Hi, really not bad for your first game! (Way better than my first game xD)
I especially liked the visuals. But i think there are too many spacestations out there ;)
controls are basically fine, but i would probably have some base speed of the players star, so that it can`t just stand still. The game would have benefitted from a bit of music or ambience. Check out Itch.io or pixabay.com for free music and sfx.
 
I don`t think it is a good idea to have these "meteorite belts"/black holes, make the screen go dark, i find that effect very irritating, that black/fade in and out stuff.

I like the idea, though I got literally "stuck" a couple of times when colliding with these oil like black hole blobs,  or whatever these are in the second level, so I restarted like 3 to 4 times, before finishing the second level

Congrats on your first game (:

I think it would feel better if the controls were a bit snappier, but I guess then you have the problem of the player moving too fast? It was an interesting choice to use the mouse like that, nevertheless.

I liked this way of controlling the player character, it was unique. This was a fun quick game, well done!

That was a really satisfying way to control the meteor :) Congrats on your first game jam!

Great work on your first game 🎉🎉 I enjoyed the way the star controlled and collecting stars along the way was a nice wrinkle.  I also enjoyed the screen going dark whenever I went though those dark cloud / nebulas.  Nice Job!

Nice game, the bounty theme is a bit lacking but it's fun anyway, and works on mobile, congrats
