Managed to score 1955, and ohhh boy i felt dizzy haha. I think the game is too hard should start a little easier, also it reaally needs some catchy tune.

Very challenging to drill Uranus. The dizzying aspect of Uranus makes the drilling especially interesting! I especially liked the title of the game.

My head hurts but it doesn't matter - the game is really enjoyable. Unfortunately, I was quite bad at avoiding tides :p Big + for title idea btw. Gj!

Nice to know what drilling Uranus at full power feels like, definitely a fulfilling experience. I feel like a real man now. Heh.

This game is simple, but sweet, and the whole humour take on the theme is great. It made for some fun time with my friend when we played it. The mechanics of it work like they should and it is enjoyable and fun to play.

My only irk was that the obstacles left very little space to maneuver freely, as they are too tightly packed together. Sometimes it was plainly impossible to reach an obstacle free zone from the last one, since they were too far away and came immediately one after the other.

All in all, a great entry with a humourous take on the theme, which I totally dig! Great work!

Ugh, yeah, spinning the camera on the Z Axis makes me (And a lot of folks) super ill. I think the humor was pretty funny, but I couldn't play for more than a minute. It might be worth revisiting your core concept and seeing if you can get rid of the spinning.

The spinning adds challenge indeed, but it is not pleasant to play it. If I didn't have a headache this morning, I'd probably try it a bit more (it is super hard to play).

Also in terms of graphics, it is very hard to distinguish whether you hit or miss some obstacle.
