Theme? Yes. Original? Absolutely. Sound was bangin

But I got bored after a couple of alignments :shrug:

Submitted

This was really entertaining! I had to go through the start a few times to get a handle on things but it’s a really fun take on the theme. Loved the voice acting and writing!

Love it! Clever use of the theme!

I had to come back and see what your interpretation of the theme was about because I didn't really understand it while I was playing. Let me tell you, "RETROgrade" was a really clever surprise!

I didn't quite understand the mechanics at first, but I loved how much was happening on the screen and how you managed to turn the rotation into part of the trajectory. There was clearly a ton of work put into this.

Excellent job!

Really liked how this game makes something unique with the theme. The audio is great, specially the music and voice acting. I played only 1 night since i don't know if the game goes infinitely, but still think is a very great game!

perfect game

Great use of the retro theme without being another old styled game. It's awesome to see such originality and creativity. The voice acting, audio, sound effects, and art were all great!

Submitted

Voice acting 10/10, made me lol.
Definitely a little intimidating at first, but once you understand everything happening on screen it's fun to launch planets around, and its nice having things light up when you hover over them (like the star sign on the wheel cause I don't know my zodiacs). Would have been cool to have to align 3 planets at the same time.

Great voice acting! I should try to do some voice overs in my game next jam!
