Awesome man, love the concept.

And to your question about seeing the ratings, I believe its because your author, cause I can't either.

Quite fun! Balancing between spinning the mouse around the planet like a madman to make the days go by fast and simultaneously destroying asteroids/avoiding black holes was quite addictive. Good job man : )

This is missing a goal, something like "get to day x" to win.

Didn't actually see the "bullet-hell" part but it was pretty fun! Adding this kind of constraints while also having to do specific actions can be pretty fun if further researched. Pretty good game! :D

- Nice game - i like the animation of the suns - also sound is good

Lol those expressions. Fun stuff, would have been nicer if there was some kind of "orbiting" I think instead of just me rotating the mouse pointer. Some feedback on when things get destroyed would have added in some more polish factor I guess? But it's a pretty cool idea and warmly executed. Ha!

I like the idea. Its a fun game and the graphics are really good. I miss some feedback when you destroy and asteroyd or something. I love the sun's faces ^^

Intriguing idea to have the sun revolve around the planet. Nice touch building a "tutorial" into the menu screen -- you have to revolve the sun around the planet in order to start playing! As @diptoman says, additional feedback would be nice when interacting with other objects.

Really innovative mechanics with circling sun. But it is really hard to keep a little planet alive for a long time, so it would be nice to somehow 'upgrade' sun's orbit and evolve the planet system into a more consistent state and introduce some new mechanics.

Finally managed to get more than 60 days! Really addicting and innovative gameplay. The core mechanic is explained very fast through the main menu, although I didn't notice at first that I could use the suns gravity to influence the course of the meteroids and black holes. I'd really like to see this game expanded upon and polished even more.

That is a very clever little mechanic - rotating around the center point to get points while dodging/ramming items that float in. It felt great during play, and every time you died, you felt it was solidly your own fault. High "one more play" factor.

Really well done. I enjoyed my time with this.

Very interesting using of geocentic theory after I get bored with many small-planet games. Mouse controlling is very fun. The insufficient of your game is the lack of game goals. What can I get after I get a higher score? That limits the game length to less than three minutes after I get bored. Another problem is that the difficulty is decided by time not by score. So if you die you must start over and facing a more difficulty situation. That's very frustraction.

The start button didn't seem to be clickable, so I assume hovering over it started the game. However I every time I moved off the start to take out an asteroid it seemed to reset the day counter that was rotating around the orbit. And it only seemed to be asteroids that were spawning, there was no planet or anything.

Really don't know if that was what the game was supposed to be but the graphics were nice I suppose.

30 days at last! It is a very innovative gameplay. I didn't understand what I need to do at first (I was eating the panet) but after I remember how and I launch the game and it was pretty logical :smile: Maybe you can add some text "You burnt your planet" and "an asteroïd kill your planet"*

Very interesting take of the theme

I haven't seen a game much like this before. At first it is kind of confusing, but finally i figured out how to start the game, and it was fun! it has a nice art style. I do think you should make it more clear that you are not supposed to burn the planet though.
