Impressive!
I really like this game!
The graphics are nice, the music is great (maybe a bit tad too energetic for me uwu'), the controls feel nice and the game is easy to understand (and having a minimap is a great touch, especially for someone like me with poor spatial awareness)
However, maybe tone it down on the amount of incoming asteroids, there are too many of them fast, I'm overwhelmed! And why not adding some kind of sprint to get to them faster uwu
This is ending on my list of favorite games from this Ludum Dare!

Great graphics, and fun concept!
I think the music felt good considering the gameplay, but as sheinxy also said, it was hard to keep up with the game. I felt as if the asteroids spawned far to quick, and I didn't know which one were closest. It also took some time to learn the navigation, but I think I got it in the end.
Overall a fun game, but needed more tweaking before I wanted to play it multiple times.
The controls are smooth and visuals are beautiful. Overall game feels nice. The fact that you yeet asteroids back into space with your trusty baseball bat is kinda funny. A rotating minimap is a bit confusing at first. And also, you should rate other games on this jam. Your game deserves to get more feedback.
A really unique interpretation of the theme. The mini map was helpful but I kinda wish that there was some kind of in game HUD element that let you know where the next asteroid closest to the ground would be. I felt extremely overwhelmed quickly, but that also may be because I'm not good at this game.

Really nice graphics and a simple, fun core gameplay loop - didn't feel too involved but also not at all boring. I would echo the other commenters that the asteroids felt very fast-paced, but I don't think I mind being overwhelmed too much
The game looks gorgeous; the perspective however is really disorienting, you have to rely on the radar which is itself a bit confusing. I'm sure with enough practice you can get used to it, but 3D radars are tough to get right in general. Mechanics work well, great polish.
Great game, love the mechanic, kinda hard keeping track of where the asteroid are.
I love the concept, I've always liked the idea of being able to run around tiny planets like this! I found it super difficult, even after I realised the minimap in the corner and only managed a score of about 3000!
Really liked the graphics and audio. Growing grass animation was very satisfying. But as other noted it's hard to keep track of incoming asteroids.
This was a cool little game, the graphics were cool, I really loved the grass. The asteroids started coming too fast after a while, but it was fun!
We played this last night on stream and it was great fun! Disorientating? Sure, that was half the fun. I think this game was a great entry and concept. I think the difficulty ramped up quickly and I never really made it far past 2 minutes. I almost think it might be impossible? Maybe some balancing to do post-jam. Good work.
Cool game dude, the concept is nice! A bit too difficult though, it rapidly becomes a bit confusing as there is too much asteroids coming at you. It's great you added some UI for the planet on the bottom left, otherwise it would be too disorienting ^^" Congrats!
The look and feel are excellent. The whimsicality of the "weapons" you get is also fun. The minimap was a great idea, though it was difficult to use. I think this was because it was biased such that the player was at the top, so when you turn things appear and disappear off the sides, and most importantly the thing you were presumably trying to aim at disappears off the top.
nice good job!!!

Liked the game a lot, the graphics are good and the mechanic are simple but fun ! Had some trouble with the map but otherwise no problem ! Good job !
Well done, I really liked this game! The graphics looked really great, and the overall mood that you got with the music and the lightning along with the graphics was really great. The gameplay was fun and scaled up at a nice pace to make each game quick. I really appreciate the map in the corner, because once I figured out that I should use it, it made everything more manageable. Awesome job, and please keep working on this!
Well don done the game! feeling great and the take on the theme is great. You should definitely keep up the great work!
