Nice, a really cool concept. A nice endless arcade type game :)

Nice concept, simple but efficient gameplay.

puccini 2012-04-23 23:53

It's simple but I realy like it :)

laubori 2012-04-24 14:04

Yes, simple but fun! :)

piterlouis 2012-04-24 14:05

Is a funny game. The idea of add more orbiting planets is good. Good work.

orangepascal 2012-04-24 21:09

nice idea, I enjoyed playing it :)

zener 2012-04-24 21:13

Flight control with mouse input :)

nocturne 2012-04-24 21:14

Cool little game! And quite addictive, probably due to it's simplicity...

vdogamez 2012-04-24 21:29

Oh, that's neat. Having the planet not directly follow the mouse makes it more interesting, and much more difficult, because you have to pay attention to its movement. Having multiple planets all in orbit just compounds that even further. Once I had three planets it got too hard to pay attention to all of them and they all went out at once. That was fun.

Haha, that was frantic, nice use of the theme. Simple but easy to play.

heugamer 2012-04-25 20:26

Simple :)

xeeko 2012-04-25 20:36

Interesting:)

Lovely music and a great world-addition mechanic. Would've possibly been more fun if you had more control over the orbits of the worlds, because once you got to a certain point it was all but impossible to keep more than one world alive at once

misfit 2012-04-26 18:34

Nice, simple and addictive.

demonpants 2012-04-26 18:41

Nice and simple. I can dig it!

fysx 2012-04-26 18:41

A fun little game! I liked playing it!

codexus 2012-04-26 18:54

Simple but effective :)

When you get a new planet it appears at a random position around the orbit. This insta-destroyed a couple of planets during my games.

Excluding that annoying part, the game is a super fun concept, i could play it for hours. :)

castor 2012-04-26 19:12

Very simple, great game. Loving the multiple planets coming in there...

alwaysgeeky 2012-04-26 20:28

Really nice concept, I like it!

nidjo123 2012-04-27 12:30

Very nice! The idea is awesome, graphics are pretty and sounds are great. Overall, a really good game.

robcozzens 2012-04-28 03:10

Fantastic! Almost perfect. Just the right amount of added elements to the simple gameplay device of avoiding random obstacles.
I couldn't tell if you got a score bonus for having additional planets orbiting you, but I think that would be a good idea.
I think some other graphic for the cursor would be good... I kind of think a sun, but that might be weird with the planet being as big as it... and you would expect it to destroy the asteroids.

onehandclap 2012-04-28 12:33

Simple and effective: very nice. =)

triplevisiongames 2012-04-28 13:08

Great concept! I 3 planets at once is pretty tough I think I kept my third planet for less than a second. Great fun!

coffeeonimal 2012-04-28 13:09

Awesome! Easy to understand and pick up, deadly addictive. Very nice work.

maximschoemaker 2012-04-28 13:12

Oh wow, pretty neat idea :)
First I was like, mmmm tis is kinda weird and then another planet came and I was like fuck yeah! The multiple planets was a cool feature ^^
The only thing I was wondering about was why you made the planets follow the mouse so jiggly like, why not just absolute positions?

summaky 2012-04-28 13:38

Very simple idea that is effective. I didn't understand what the over planets that from time to time appear do, though.

mikesoylu 2012-04-28 14:43

I liked how you applied the avoider mechanics in a unusual way. Also the music's quite nice. Well done!

gritfish 2012-04-29 03:15

Nice twist on the mouse-avoider game. Noted the 'jigglyness' of the planets.. was that intentional?

moth 2012-04-29 10:55

Very concise and tidy! A simple game with a nice concept and execution. The presentation is nice and it all feels very complete and well thought out. I could almost imagine it in an arcade cabinet! :)

soy_yuma 2012-05-02 15:28

Simple and fun! I like it a lot :-)

davedobson 2012-05-02 21:58

Simple but elegant; simple, intuitive controls and goals. I found myself wishing there were a little more to it, though. Nice work!

norashishi 2012-05-02 22:48

It's an unique idea! I wanted to see a reason why the earth is moving around the mouse cursor. Some gravity thing like Sun could be at the center.

thotep 2012-05-04 13:06

Simple and entertaining.

ratboy2713 2012-05-06 04:38

I liked the music. The gameplay was really simplistic, maybe have the bounce when the mouse is moved happen slower for longer?

azurenimbus 2012-05-09 23:16

Surprisingly complex ramifications from an innovative style of play. Instead of controlling the planet, you control the center point of its orbit. I thought it was fascinating and kept surprising me as I played. This could definitely be explored further.

jedi 2012-05-10 22:11

Simple and sweet; I like it :).

tacograveyard 2012-05-13 14:56

I like it. Simple, good use of avoidance mechanic. Controls were occasionally jump (perhaps on purpose).
