Wow, i like this game and simple graphics!
Good job!

Neat game, played it on android. A little hard to control (felt that the vertical movement was a little wild) but a cool, simple game.

Simple but nice game. Played the HTML5 version because I don't own an Android phone but the game was a bit choppy (Chrome + descent gamer computer). The control inertia felt a bit weird on PC, I guess it works better on touchscreen.

Ah, takes me back to those long school lunchtimes playing ragdoll avalanche.

Good use of minimalist graphics. They are genuinely minimalist meaning that they look great through simplicity, rather than just being basic. I'm impressed by how entertaining you made the game. I ran the web version and it ran just fine; no lag at all. And the black hole is kind of evil!

Very nice minimalistic graphics!

Man that was a HUGE asteroid! Nice clean art, but the spaceship feels a bit woobly

Game looks very nice, could do with a little less drifting though I think.

Cool little game. ^_^

Awesome graphics! The gameplay was super basic though, just avoiding things, no powerups. I kind of liked the wobbly movement of the rocket.

Nice game and great art! The kind of game that fits better on mobile devices.

orangepascal 2013-04-29 21:41

fun! one of the most playable games I've checked so far, really like this one; you should make a full game out of it!

Love it. Very beautiful and simple mechanics. Wonderful time playing.

8bitpimp 2013-04-29 22:52

Nice stuff. I like the graphics, and the little details such as the shooting stars.

domrein 2013-04-30 03:00

Very clean graphics, nice and simple idea.

heuermh 2013-04-30 04:04

Well done, very polished graphics. I was doing fairly well until the black holes.

drabiter 2013-04-30 05:10

Really nice. I like the minimal usage of graphics. I can cheat by placing the ship on left/right side of the screen ;) The dark hole is good trick. +1 for continue play after lose.

How do you make the ship's movement, composition of Actions or manual update?

manuel777 2013-04-30 15:35

Whoa thanks guys, super glad you liked it!! :D

Drabiter: I included the .gmz source in the likes above, you need GameMaker studio to open it :)

belickim 2013-04-30 16:54

The aesthetics are superb, moves of the ship are really smooth and really nicely done. However, I wish your little universe was a little bit more diverse, but... yeah, well minimalism is the theme after all :)

toonheart 2013-04-30 21:11

I like the movement smoothness, but sensitivity is a bit on higher side.. may be reduce that?.. ... also reminds me of a game I wanted to make in 2010, but only made a poster and abandoned... so kinda clicked on the heart :D

Also, I thought that big circle with whirling in it was a blackhole... I didn't get sucked in though. :D

Awesome job with keeping graphics minimal yet good looking.


Done rating. :D

saguaro 2013-04-30 23:33

I dig the graphics, very stylish. I expected the black hole to draw me in, though, same as above.

loxo 2013-04-30 23:37

I like the game. The simple graphics style fits the theme very well. Some sound effects and music would have been nice.

cakencode 2013-05-01 00:26

I was a little frustrated by the wobbly controls. I sort of lost interest in playing on after a while. But I think you established a nice sense of mood through the graphics.

dapierce 2013-05-01 00:27

Great look and smooth physics! I freaked out when I encountered a black hole! That was a great touch.

iamorim 2013-05-01 01:32

Beautiful game. Simple but good graphics. It worked perfectly on Chrome :)

uncade 2013-05-01 02:04

Really nice looking art. The controls seemed a bit too slippery for me though.

gungnir 2013-05-01 12:51

Pretty neat. I kind of liked the loose controls.

It lacks some depth though so this could be great with some post-compo love.

manuel777 2013-05-01 18:09

I agree, it would be awesome to expand this further!

vandriver 2013-05-01 19:40

Never mind the loose control complaints, the game thrives on them being loose, in my opinion.

manuel777 2013-05-02 03:49

I had so many different opinions about that, besides whats here... the thing is, making them less-loose would make the game slightly easier and less fun, since you will master the controls a lot faster, most of the fun is to try to master the ship movements and avoid asteroids for as long as possible, having you, the player master it so quickly will make you play it less and get bored too soon :)

jorjon 2013-05-03 02:44

Nice graphics. Although the game was fun for the first seconds, since there's no progression it got boring after dying 1 or 2 times.

ataxkt 2013-05-03 15:34

Very cool! Feels really polished, I felt that while the floatyness was nice, the controls needed tweaking to make them slightly more responsive though.

kill0u 2013-05-14 01:33

Nice graphics :) Hard to control, but fun. Great job!

phocker 2013-05-16 02:37

shame there was no audio -- everything else was awesome -- great theme -- awesome game

bvanschooten 2013-05-17 22:29

Looks slick, only gameplay is rather limited. The controls make it more challenging, only they feel a bit inconsistent. In particular the vertical controls are so inconsistent I do not like to move vertically. The graphics are nice, only the rock features are hardly visible. Giving them more contrast may make them look more interesting.

The gigantic planet was a nice twist when it almost wiped me out hehe.
