At first I didn't know whether my arrow keys had any effects on the planet or not. Yes, this game really needs that graphical effect of the earth rotating !

But I liked the originality of the gameplay mechanics, and above all it works flawlessly !
Somehow I have the feeling this game is complete, even if there is a lot of real-time feedback missing.

I don't get how this ended up in "least ratings" category. You did a great job.

Lots of fun. Love the gameplay mechanic. At first I thought that the bright red ones were going to explode and take a bunch out, maybe that's an idea for a new type of alien.

Fun game, congrats :)

Interesting concept, sort of like a rotating game of Tetris. It was hard to form a strategy for organizing the sticky aliens because too many landed at once so it usually seemed like a game of random chance. With some more tweaking, I could see this becoming a very addictive game.

Totally unique ! Never played a game with this mechanic ...

Constructive criticism ? I don't know ... It felt kind of clunky. (I seem to be saying that a lot). But it's true - A lot of games loose out and feel unprofessional because they don't SNAP. You know, if there was like a exponential curve of approach, so as the balls came closer they almost got sucked in and very suddenly struck ... And there was some kind of visceral effect - Sound would be great. Something satisfying. And that you wouldn't mind hearing a hundred times ... Then you would have a game (at least a casual game) on your hands ...

Same with the earth rotation - It needs to move in a cool way. Something that would make it into a hackers movie. There is a term for this - for the kind of movement that ... goes on a curve ... but I can't think of it. So when you move the planet it doesn't just respond to the arc of rotation - instead it uses that arc to ramp up the movement (I think that's the word - RAMP) to a high speed and then ramp back down ... THAT will look cool !

I liked the graphics, controls felt smooth. I think it could get better with sound, I didn't get how it fits on the theme but nice little game, I enjoyed myself playing it :)

Earth should rotate and enemies come more slower, also it is not really a weapon, but overall game is very cool and innovative, like it!

Quite funny! But it is hard, or I suck at playing it :D Nice gameplay, I lost the game as soon as a new color appeared. By rotating permanently, you can try by luck and sometimes it even works!

Great game!

Interesting concept! The gradual acceleration when turning did make the controls feel a bit unresponsive. But I enjoyed the game.

This is actually a really interesting take on a match three :) I enjoyed it a bunch but it went way too fast for me to keep up and perhaps adding more mechanics would make for some interesting play. But overall I thought it was pretty cool :)!

Innovative game. At first I thought it wasn't working because of the planet image not rotating.
