Really fun, cute aesthetic. Great job guys! :)

Awesome game, I love it! The crazy ray from consuming a planet feels so good.

Great theme and character.

Gameplay I think you could focus on making the basic attack more exciting when it connects with an enemy. The theme and animation are really fun on the basic attack. Maybe the game has some ricochet physics and batting an enemy splits him up and starts a chain reaction. Something like that to make each swing the start of something good.

The dash is disorienting because it drags the camera with it and the game wants me to stay focused on a fixed object. It feels good when jetting from planet to planet, though.

As already mentioned the crazy beam attack is a good reward. You keep playing for that moment.

Good job everyone!

This game is soooo crazy! but cute!! and that laughing lol~ I like it <3

The thing that made me laugh the most was how many digits there are for the score when each planet is worth only 1. Great music, sounds, and graphics, although the controls do feel a bit loose.

I loved everything about this game. The animations are gorgeous, the insane over the top beams of death are super satisfying, and the audio is very fitting and entertaining. The style reminds me of Adventure Time, which I also love. It was a bit difficult to get very far though, I wish you regained a bit of health from absorbing the energy of a planet.

Fun game, gets really hard after the second world. he he

iamspencer 2014-08-26 06:55

Absolutely love the animations and music! Best score was 5 :(

simplesmiler 2014-08-26 09:29

You guys know what you are doing :)

Really fun game! amazing sound and graphics! does not really fit the theme that much but man, this was good

merlijnvh 2014-08-26 12:06

I love this! It works with the theme, it looks and sounds amazing, and it is a lot of fun to play, too. Great entry!

2014-08-26 14:07

God damn Windows-only games :(

runvs 2014-08-26 16:28

Great graphics and sound!

caliberproject89 2014-08-26 19:41

Great game.

2014-08-26 20:07

Game is dripping with charm. The main character is great, but I really enjoy the little touches even more. Some slowdown right before the laser. The final score counting down from millions to your score which (in my case) has been single digit. The portrait in the bottom corner's emotions and eventual change into a skeleton. Honestly the gameplay mechanic was simple and straightforward but the game was so charming I couldn't help but enjoy myself.

aumni 2014-08-26 20:26

The game is simple but addicting and humorous. The art is amaaaazing. Well done!!

incredible-ape 2014-08-26 21:05

Graphics are great but I think the audio is what won me over. So many games forget how important sound is.

A team this talented is kind of cheating though.

ymm 2014-08-26 21:25

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone :D we had a lot of fun making it

tautnerve 2014-08-26 21:40

Great graphics and design! Awesome job on the
character especially! I love it that when the
timer reaches zero you go berserk with full
on laser destruction :) Controls were tight as well,
great job everybody

lissar 2014-08-27 04:23

Absolutely adored the main character and her facial expressions! Her voice was cute too.

jupitron 2014-08-27 10:53

Amazing graphics! Very simple gameplay. Incredible sounds effects!

thiaguera 2014-08-27 13:05

Well done!

tonbery 2014-08-27 14:44

AWESOME GAME!
the way every feedback is given to the players is really good
the first sectiction is really great too, the way you make a tutorial without being a tutorial, is a kind of progression that even some commercial game don't have
someday we'll reach this level =D

kevinzuhn 2014-08-27 20:37

I thought it was fantastically funny, and good looking, and joyous to play. I'm not particularly good at it, and I had to wonder whether the planets exploding was my mistake or my intention. Either way I'm having a great ride.

phocker 2014-08-28 02:11

Wow this was a really awesome game. Would be nice to get some power-ups and health. I loved the huge score table at the end, and then I scored a 3 on the countdown. Nice touch. Awesome job.

javadocmd 2014-08-28 19:17

I laughed so hard at the score screen. Very well designed all around; I can do nothing but echo the positive comments from above.

That moment you realize that *maybe* you aren't protecting these planets... D:

dragoninstall 2014-08-28 23:49

Amazing art style and music. Really fun game. The voice of the character is hilarious. Well done guys!!!

wdebowicz 2014-08-29 23:06

Game has his own style and climate. I would only add more puzzle to gameplay, after 4th planet I get bored. Highscore 4. Very good entry.

alvivar 2014-08-30 05:20

Very polish. Lovely sounds, awesome music. Superb.

mechabit 2014-09-07 15:51

nice graphics, very cartoon network

Super solid entry. Really polished, great art and fun to play. Satisfying to crack a planet and death ray everything in sight. Never gets old.

jedi 2014-09-09 07:06

Damn, this is awesome! It's impossible not to have fun when you're character is destroying planets and laughing maniacally! This game taps into that zen kind of gameplay and always makes me when to play just once more ;)

My only two complaints are that it doesn't capture the mouse and the slow-motion effect kicks in just a smidge too soon.

Excellent everything!

Great job!

stevesalmond 2014-09-10 09:35

Well, I don't know what to say really. That was just stunning... :) Everything about it was great. Amazing job guys.

moosefly 2014-09-13 14:34

I was also reminded of Adventure Time while playing this, which is definitely a nice thing. I think YAYitsAndrew's comment about the basic attacking being made more satisfying is pretty spot on too.

Even though the gameplay is quite simple, I really liked playing it because of the overall mood. My best score was a grand total of... FIVE planets / points!

AHAHAHAH WELL DONE!
I laughed a lot! Love this crazy girl!
Also I like graphics, animations and all else!
10 of 5, really.

kyatric 2014-09-15 16:00

I must admit, the game's assets are very polished, but on the other hand, I really don't understand what is the point/goal of that game.

The WASD keyboard control is painful as usual on my AZERTY keyboard, so that always makes the games far less enjoyable than they should be.

There's indeed a lot of chaos going on, and I don't really understand what is the point. I also don't really see the connection to the theme.

There's a great production value on this jam entry, but the actual heart/core of the design appears as quite mysterious to me.

2015-03-11 17:00

I like this game. It's quite challenging (my highest score was 8), and the mechanics are cool (such as those crazy combos you can make, or that you can't instantly rotate wherever you want). And the sounds are amazing!
