I won!! Very cute game. Loved the sun guy. It's a very cool idea, though the game was extremely easy. Nice job!

So cute and fun, would love to see even more planets to be added! Maybe you can only equip 2 or 3 at a time, each will have their own stats and status effects. Maybe they have a durability level and when they get destroyed, they can form a new planet from the debris. I got ahead of myself but i think this metroidvania has a lot of potential. Wish you best of luck and great job!
Cool mechanic and cool take on the theme. I really like the idea of the players weapon being something that rotates around them, and could think of a lot of things to do to expand on that (for example, giving the player some level of control over it might be interesting, especially against a wider variety of enemies).
The art felt a little all over the place in terms of style of pixel density, although the player sprite is pretty neat looking in a goofy way. I also feel like this is one where it would just really benefit from more going on. The UFO enemies felt a bit tedious, and the alien enemies were comically nonthreatening. Of course, this is all understandable for a jam (and a first at that!), just some things to think about if you plan on expanding this.
Overall, really neat. The game dev in me can't help but think of ways to run with this concept, which is a sign that you're really onto something in my opinion! Great work!
Loved the art style and also though collecting planets was cool. sad the settings button didn't work though :(
This was a lot of fun! I really liked the way different planets/moons were revolving around the player. I wish I could look down before making the jump just to make sure I didn't land on any enemies or ended the game but it was still fun & unique gameplay!
This was really fun and loved the original concept. I actually played a few times to try and see if I can get the whole solar system :)
This was fun! The planets having different orbits was a cool mechanic that made the platforming feel unique. Great work!
