Man this is challenging to get the hang of but it all works really well together! I love your sprite art style, too!
this is sick as hell, star guy deserves all the stars i gave his game
A very fun and original game. I like how the powerups are not required to be used and instead can be thrown at the bosses. I only wish there were more indications, such as which parts of the boss deflect projectiles, or a sucking animation for the gravity-related enemies (at first I thought it was a poison cloud). Some other minor quality of life such as having the two different areas around the star be different colors, the ability to see health beyond opacity, or just some more animations/particle effects would have been really nice. I really like the unique art and music styles.
Really fun game, I was not expecting a boss rush! The spinning mechanic and boss design were all very fun, my only complaint is that there was no penalty for missing a QTE, so I could just spam space when I wanted to shoot while spinning constantly. Still a very fun game!
Love the artstyle. The OST is also very nice!
yoooo, I was stucked in the tutorial for like 3 min, cause I was dodging the first asteirods, but the gameplay mechanic ios very cool, I was destroyed many times by the boss, but at the end, the good won
A really original idea with a strong execution. The orbiting mechanic is satisfying, the visuals are stunning and truly unique, the music is exceptional and plays a huge part in shaping the overall atmosphere! You can feel the effort and care that went into this project. Excellent work!
Artwork is top notch. Beautiful visuals. Fun and unique mechanics with a cool story to follow along with. Great Work!
Awesome art direction and a really interesting gameplay loop with a creative interpretation of the theme. Great job!
It would be nice to allow players to rotate using the mouse as well. I use a 60% keyboard, so using the arrow keys was difficult.
This game is amazing! It's fun to play and I love the art style, and the intro cinematic is incredibly well done, especially for a one-week jam. The interpretation of the theme is super creative, too. One of my favorite entries in the jam so far :)
Thank you greatly
Awesome game! The art, music, and SFX were all very well done and matched perfectly. The mechanics were easy to understand and I loved you itch page for the game! Very thematic!
:)
I really enjoyed my time with this one, who doesn't like a nicely done boss rush? Star Guy is a mood, and his gameplay is fun to try and master. You have good control over his movement and spinning, so you never feel out of control. One of my favorite things about this game is how power-ups play into the gameplay. They're not just item items, but weapons and obstacles too. It's fun thinking about if I should use a item to heal or power me up, or use it to attack a boss. On the topic of bosses, I think they're all pretty good! Ever time I died it was on me, and they're easy to understand and follow. Great work, and keep it up!
Aw man, it makes me so happy to hear that! Thank you for the comment.
Really liked the art, the mechanic is also quite unique and has some room to master it with time, the controls did feel a bit confusing at first but once you get the hang of it its fine!
Trully space, love the art style, Great Submision !
Truly awesome game. Loved the (dodge || catch) => (eat || throw) mechanic, only thing missing was an enemy health bar. But this is, like, a proper game! Nice work.
Tyvm!
Creative use of the theme. I was a bit confused by the controls, but the gameplay is solid. And I really loved the music. The art is also unique. Good job!
pretty cool way to use the jam them, congrats to you
Thank you for your kind comment :3
That's such a cool way to use the jam's theme, so creative! The art style is so unique, i love it!
Tyvm!
The psychodelic kind of art is so cool! Music and sound effects fits the art style perfectly. Had fun playing but shooting with SPACE and consuming with E was a little hard to master. Also it would be a bit easier if the orbits would rotate all the time and the player could fasten it (I had a little hard time controlling everything, but maybe it's just me). overall had a lot of fun destroying my bullies XD
Thanks for the feedback. Setting the orbits to spin on their own was actually somethign we thought about. Maybe that was the way to go after all. But I really liked the weighted feeling of switching directions and lobbing a planet at a boss lol, so ended up goign in that direction. I'm glad to know you still enojyed the game! thank you.
