Tough Game! Nice idea though!

I see the vision, and it's very interesting. I really like the idea of a game that gets harder as a direct result of your previous successes. But I struggled with figuring out exactly how to get a planet on to its orbit, I only got 2 and those were by complete accident. There needs to be more feedback with each attempt, so the player knows what they did wrong and how to adjust.

Developer(+1)

Yes, that's right. The reasoning was, “The game should be relatively short but have a gradually increasing difficulty curve—not necessarily divided into levels—to save dev time.” As for the question of how to actually connect the planet to the orbits, I assume you're referring to how to launch it or how to make sure it connects?

I was mostly struggling with getting the planets to connect with their orbits. My best guess is that they have to be slow enough that they're on their orbit by the time they stop, but it didn't seem very consistent.

Developer(+1)

That's a fair assumption. As you say, the connection condition isn't actually very clear—it's supposed to be that the planet remains in its orbit for 3 seconds. I'll work on the feedback. Thanks for the helpful comment!

Like the concept of getting the planets into orbit! Definitely struggled with understanding how to do the throws at first with the strength meter/timer.  Cute, quick game!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback. Glad you like it tough

Very nice little game, the last planet is the hardest to do because you get destroyed by others planets or you launch too far lol, but anyway I'm having fun :D

Thank you!

Got the first planet in orbit real quick! Then struggled on the 2nd one for a while until I gave up. Adjusting the difficulty and/or an in-game explanation of how the mechanics work would be super helpful for the player.

Neat premise, just needs a little more tweaking.

Got it, thanks for playing!

good but its really frustrating for me, maybe its just my skill issue but yeah

I definitely need to make some adjustments to the difficulty. Thanks for playing :)
