Really like the art, planet animations and general design in this!

Was fun and the SFX really added to it a lot.

Nice twist on asteroids/tower defence.

The style here is really clean.  Also loved how heavy the sounds felt.

Great concept and beautiful art & UI. Need to pre-cache those shaders and particle effects when the main menu is up to prevent the really bad stutter during gameplay. Hope we see more of your games in future GWJ’s!

Yeah we've noticed it as well and tried to fix it (without luck). Thanks for the tip, we'll try again to fix it after voting has ended!

This game is stunning!! and I love the gameplay and idea - such a great submission and gorgeous colour and design choices

A very neat and original take on a tower defence game! Really liked the feel of it, everything felt smooth, responsive and the planet shader looked really cool.

One note and i haven't marked ya down for it, but i had to refresh the page twice to get the game to actually load anything other than just the spinning planet. Not sure why, honestly. Thought i was going mad and missing something!

Hmm that sounds weird, we'll see if we can fix it when voting has ended. Thanks very much for the feedback!

Suuuper satisfying. Well done! Only thing I would’ve appreciated would be a greater visual variety among both the cannons and the enemies, it is somewhat difficult to tell them apart at a glance. That is a very minor complaint, though.

I love tower defenses in general, and this one is a lot of fun! Love the placement system, its very elegant. Getting some clue (like warning) where the next ship is coming from would be a cool addition.

Keep up the good work!

Loved this game, super fun! The planets are epic and the game is very polished. I really liked your page as well, great job with the aesthetic! The only thing I think is missing is a volume slider so you can adjust the sfx without adjusting your main volume, but it's not really a priority for 9 days lol. The controls felt responsive and the loop was very satisfying! 

I'd love to see an incremental aspect of the game where you can activate different powers between runs, like money multipliers or temporary shields.

Cool art style. We especially liked the look of the planets.

This a very well polished for something made in 9 days. I love the sound design and the planet spin animation too. Well done.

Submitted(+1)

The planet design was really great. The speed of the control felt really slow though, and the turret placement could use some polish. However, the game is very well made for 9 days, great job!

Very polished game, the presentation, the little things like the page background being the same with the game and increasing the immersion. Good job

Developer

Thanks!

Absolutely loved this. The graphics and sound are soooo punchy and the gameplay loop is super addictive, I would love to see this expanded upon at some point!!

Developer
