Nice game! It was fun to play, the graphics were pretty good, I loved the audio, and the control scheme was really cool and unique. The one thing it could use, if you are planning on continuing to develop the game, is animations for when enemies are killed, just to add some extra polish. Other than that, good job!
Great graphics style, and the orbiting around the planet was a nice touch. It can be pretty hard to aim, since the little guys are so small. Overall though, well done.

Nice idea, like the bloom/blur and overall design! The NCS song choice was good too, although Im not sure I understand where the "Running out of power" comes in. But I liket this entry alot, great work!

we'll polish the game when we have a time to do this, about the "Running out of power" we had a problem with some things in programming but in future version this will be fix! The goal would be to defend the power stations that are on the planet, they provide energy to the moving ship. When stations are destroyed the player loss power (speed) until he haven't no more power.
Thanks for comments =)

Good graphics, good music, good idea, but it's almost impossible to play. It takes about 10 shots while moving around slightly to be able to hit a single robot, and it clearly varies due to collision.
Pretty fun little game. The graphics and audio are solid and the movement feels great. I would have like the crossair to be a bit smaller but overall well done!

Audio sync is the best! Love the feeling when I shoot and recoil bumps me along with the music.
Strange thing - when I won, planet's destroyed anyway :)
orbiting around the planet is nice thing ^_^, music and mood are goood too! great job! (/¯–‿・)/¯
The html5 version starts off with the menu being half offscreen for me. Pretty short experience although the little I played was quite fun, very nice 3D models and nice music.

Good graphics & music, and fun gameplay. I don't know if it's more of itch.io settings(or bugs?), but when the game is running on the browser, the screen is cropped so the buttons "PLAY" only showed as "AY"; and "EXIT" as "IT"...

It's a bug in Itch, i will fix this =) Thanks!
Nice idea with orbiting the planet. Good sound. Great job overall, would be nice to have more levels.

Nice concept, I think the UI could be bigger and you could add feedbacks to the interactions with the enemies(such as particules when you kill them or when they move) but overall a nice experience :)

Shooting felt really good, especially when you hit something. Graphics were great! I liked that the gameplay wasn't the standard controls; I've never seen an orbital shooter like that before. Pretty cool for what it is. Lighting was neat too.
Nice game, restart button in the end would be nice.

We'll work in an new version(after the jam) with a lot more things and bug fixing. Thanks for all comments!
The game looked really nice. Good graphical effects. The crosshair adjustment with the mouse was a little awkward and fidgety, but the movement speed was spot on. Very good feeling when firing and hitting targets.

It is pleasant to play this game, especially I am pleased with this polygonal planet and dynamic music. The control is a little difficult (perhaps you wanted to achieve a reality effect and create a return on the shots, but because of this it is more difficult to aim).
I liked the camera effects when shooting a lot in this game. The game was a bit confusing in it's feedback though. Stats and meters seemed to show that I was doing good but then out of the blue the game told me _Game Over_. And after that, rather than allowing me a retry, it was _nope, you failed, you have to quit_. The last bit, was, while surprising, a quite interesting twist but maybe not optimal for your game. My main concern though is that the HUD really didn't communicate the aim of the game or how well I was doing with regards to that. Otherwise, I quite enjoyed playing.

Fun game, ends way too quickly though. Would love to hear something a bit more original and suitable in terms of music as well. Good job though!
