This is really cute! Got a high score of 249

voxiloid 2020-04-21 00:59

I love that sun uwu

snowycocoon 2020-04-21 00:59

This game is cute uwu, but I would lower the difficulty level at the beginning of the game :earth asia:

maxim218 2020-04-21 01:00

Great game. Cool graphics. Funny music and unusual control system. =)

maroon-goof 2020-04-21 01:00

very simple, but very fun! i love it!

nickw22 2020-04-21 01:01

Very nice game for your first game jam!

kraono 2020-04-21 01:01

It's so cute!

fermingimpel 2020-04-21 01:02

Best game in the owoverse

pathus22 2020-04-21 01:02

the art of the game is really good, the sound, and fx are other good point. the overall idea is not so fun aftear a while playing and it would be nice if you find a better mechanic. The game express the theme really well. Sorry for mi english xD. Good game overall! for a first game, its awasome! see you in the next jam!

yubs 2020-04-21 01:04

The art is so good! Also loved the music and how it all fit together into a really nice little game. Really enjoyed this one.

willops 2020-04-21 01:05

Really cute game! love the graphics

not-the-loading-screen 2020-04-21 01:05

Really fun little game with a nice art and soundtrack

thetoxicecho 2020-04-21 01:05

Game is great! but really hard :(

vadzim 2020-04-21 01:06

Graphics are cute

randomlb 2020-04-21 01:07

Awesome! I really like the art style. The gameplay is also very engaging! One suggestion I have is giving the player a moment of invincibility after they get hit so they can't get hit rapidly. Great job!

locksmitharmy 2020-04-21 01:07

Wow, very good idea. I love how you move the planet to dodge stuff and pick up defenses. Its really well though out and the art is super cute. Very nice first entry

topolino 2020-04-21 01:07

Great job! Looks good and has a nice music!

bloody-xdlol 2020-04-21 01:08

really cute game :)

chrissimas 2020-04-21 01:08

Loved the graphics!

bbapps 2020-04-21 01:08

Really really fun game, I love the music and the art so much

bozont 2020-04-21 01:09

The controls are unique, took a bit of getting used to, but they are really fun! This would make a great mobile game.

smt 2020-04-21 01:09

Fun game, cute art and really nice first jam :)

sinamon 2020-04-21 01:09

So many things to like about this game. Well done.

I would suggest adding a help menu to tell the player what they are trying to do, e.i. hit the asteroids, avoid them, which of the objects are they trying to keep safe, etc.

slimabob 2020-04-21 01:09

Very cute! I enjoyed both the audio and the graphics. I wasn't very good at it, but still had a fun time playing. Great job on your entry!

jonas-michael 2020-04-21 01:10

Quite a lot of fun, actually. The gameplay seems pretty simple, yet addicting!

spacepotato 2020-04-21 01:10

I know I'll echo other comments but the graphics are just lovely. The game is pretty challenging but once I got the controls right, it was pretty fun. Great work!

vanea 2020-04-21 01:11

I'm glad it has a volume slider! Lots of games forget that. the art is really cute, and the controls are really weird and different in a good way.

dominium11 2020-04-21 01:11

This is honestly such a great and simple idea! Also love the cuteness OwO

afkgroup0 2020-04-21 01:11

Great job doing it. Wonderful graphics.

maheeppartap-singh 2020-04-21 01:11

Cute game, good job on the art

edvard-sandquist 2020-04-21 01:12

Really cool game! The graphics is really cute and the game feels nice and runs smooth. It was a little bit too hard though. Super Cool!

ryanjavanshir 2020-04-21 01:12

Really nice graphics! Was a little difficult to begin with, but great once the difficulty was turned down! Nice sfx and music too. Great job!

rjerez192 2020-04-21 01:12

Very good game and also very hard. The controls are good but take some minutes to get used to. I'm not god at the game and felt that the default difficulty settings kept me restarting the game every 10 seconds.

I like the art a lot, very beautiful. Nice work!

adonisdevs 2020-04-21 01:13

sc_temp.PNG

This is awesome! It feels very satisfying and fair despite the randomness. It seems very polished, too :)

james-beninger 2020-04-21 01:13

Wow. This is a perfect jam game. Deceptively simple and fun to play. I played for a lot longer than I'd expected.

Only note of criticism - I'd like a quick-restart button for when I die. I kept having to take my hands off the keyboard and reach for the mouse.

nogam 2020-04-21 01:14

OwO , nice , UwU , good game , ^w^ good job

tri11paragon 2020-04-21 01:15

very good game

scott-steffes 2020-04-21 01:18

I love how you took a simple concept and executed it beautifully with lots of polish on the visual side of things! Great mood to the game.

nota 2020-04-21 01:20

Aaaa, fantastic! Very fun game, adorable graphics, fun music! Great job!

natethegreat 2020-04-21 01:20

Nice cute look and music especially for an apocalyptic mechanic! Very difficult as well. I was never able to hold onto moon that long but since saving it seemed optional I ended up just using it and the other planets I picked up as a shield.

kinshuk-thebest 2020-04-21 01:23

Reeealy nice, Adorable graphics. I love it! (Btw my highscore was 113)

janmarcano 2020-04-21 01:26

At first I thought you had to protect the sun and went all "Get down Mr. President!" blocking the meteors. Some light instructions would've helped a lot.

My other feedback has already been said on other posts: make inital difficulty a tad easier and some invincibility after getting hit.

Excellent job overall! Had tons of fun :)

mmason 2020-04-21 01:26

Nice graphics, but I had a little bit of trouble understanding what to do and what the controls were

lapisraider 2020-04-21 01:37

This game is adorable!

trace 2020-04-21 02:21

Ha, and i thought the number of meteors heading towards a planet was ridiculous in my game, but it's nothing compared to this.

blueman 2020-04-21 02:29

Had a lot of fun playing this! Managed to get 613 on default difficulty. The art style was great and the game felt very polished. Good job all around.

bobothegreat 2020-04-21 02:30

Probably one of the best games I've play so far. The graphics are so adorable and the gameplay is simple and fun. I think the easy mode is super chill and fun, medium gives a good challenge, but the hard mode is just a little too random to get anywhere with it.

bootygangdisciple 2020-04-21 02:30

This game is so fun! I loved it. My boys and I are going to start a E-Sports for it

jasond 2020-04-21 03:44

Huh! Neat little mechanic. Took me a couple of goes to figure out what was going on - I think a more forgiving difficulty curve might have been good.

Aesthetically also pretty neat

g-a-gamestudio 2020-04-21 04:08

Very polished. Amazing code probably went into this. This game has no problem and is super fun!

horus 2020-04-21 05:27

Really fun game! Good amount of challenge and cuteness, both of which I adore. Once I got going it was a little difficult to stop, especially since I'm close, but having trouble breaking the 400 point barrier for the final planet. I love a good well placed achievement.

bonyok77 2020-04-21 05:54

wow I like the art style, and it's pretty fun to play. and i don't know if it's just me, but the game lags...

d1str4kt0r 2020-04-21 07:27

AStonishing graphics! you should do kids games! my niece would love it! and no, this wasn't sarcastic

gandalfderwaise 2020-04-21 08:41

really cute and addictive game. loved the fact that it remembers the highscore and unlocks after revisiting the page. a little difficult to understand the controls at first, but I pretty fast got the hang of it :) audio is quite nice as well, but it can get a little annoying after the time - but this game has the possibility to change audio options (Y)

2020-04-21 10:19

This game is super nice. Too weird that my friend went for the exact game concept as you lol, anyway I think this is really cool.

mrsilverhelmet 2020-04-21 11:42

Fun and challenging game, and it feels very polished and complete! Great job! I like the art style also. It had been nice to have a few seconds in the start of the first level with no/less enemies to try out the controls before the attack starts.

effarek 2020-04-21 12:36

Really cute and funny. It took me a few games to understand the mechanics but then it was really enjoyable !

thedouche 2020-04-21 15:11

haha, really cute, nice job! I played it for a while and I thought it was really hard! Good job!

torn 2020-04-21 15:12

It's adorable! Didn't feel like there was too much I could do to not get hit, but the music is nice to listen to.

forging-foxes 2020-04-21 15:12

Really enjoyable! Tight gameplay loop

gogani 2020-04-21 15:44

Very cool! the graphics are cute and the game is very simple!

frokes 2020-04-21 16:16

Cute game! Had some really bad starts though that pretty much led to instant death of the entire world, rip.

hiremedeveloper 2020-04-21 16:39

very cute, great job

peteywoufes 2020-04-21 17:28

This is really cute.

mrbandler 2020-04-21 18:25

Nice game! It was kind hart to get into at first, I would have preferred other keybindings. Something like A for planet and D for moon, but that's very subjective because on my keyboard I have to press a function key to use my arrow keys 😅

Anyway, nice graphics and music and once I got the hang of it I played for a good 10 minutes to beat my last score.

bitdecay 2020-04-21 18:52

Charming and simple game. I was able to hit 584 after a couple runs, which felt pretty good. It seems like the best strategy is to just stay near the corners as you'll have the most time to react. Consider putting a circular overlay around the screen so that all sides of the screen are equally fair, maybe? Nice work!

primalshadow 2020-04-21 19:20

I love the art style!

sadzanenyama 2020-04-21 19:40

Decent game, just didn't really like the control scheme. Well done of your first game jam!

fishmasterino 2020-04-21 19:52

Loved it OwO Everything ties in nicely, and the powerups are a nice addition to keep it interesting

marxy-37 2020-04-21 21:29

UwU what's this?? A cute little game?? And it's actually fun, not too much easy, nor difficult?? And it has "OwO" on the title?? SIGN. ME. IN. BABY!!!

But seriously, this game is fun as much as he's cute: And he's cute as hell, trust me. Also the music is perfectly reflects the mood of the game!! I can't even find an flaw in this game: it's perfect... :3

garys 2020-04-21 22:28

Fun game! Took me a while to get the hang of it, and the moon kinda confuses things. 228 top score.

gamebuilder 2020-04-21 23:14

The graphics are appealing and I especially like the audio. The game is too difficult for me — but maybe that's just me; I'm not good with learning new controls.

justin-c 2020-04-22 05:12

Neat little game. I loved the art.

kinshuk-thebest 2020-04-22 05:19

Nice, Can anyone beat my highscore? (its 290)

fat-cat 2020-04-22 14:46

Very cute graphics, I like that you are able to select different planets ^^

yorisfresh 2020-04-22 14:52

I liked the art, got 506 high score

thekingbarry 2020-04-22 16:47

Cute graphics and music. The game is a bit difficult to master at the beginning, maybe the speed of asteroid arrival could be slower at the beginning to help player like me start... but the overall impression is very good ! nice job !

kate90 2020-04-22 19:43

212 was my max :) wanted to unlock 400 planet. In the beginning i thought that point are added, but single max score is pretty good solution here - i like it.

oddtimes 2020-04-22 20:02

Really cute and unique game. Literally needed a third "hand" to start the game. :-D

kurokabe 2020-04-22 20:41

Graphisms are cool, but the difficulty is too high

julienlussiez 2020-04-22 21:13

Nice graphics and mood. It's a little bit too fast though. Nice some tweaking and it can become very funny.

jamesolivermusic 2020-04-22 22:22

Very nice graphics and style all round. A tutorial or perhaps an easier introductory stage would have been nice, as it's quite fast and takes a few tries to get into a flow. Good job.

kiln 2020-04-23 00:41

Nice art direction, bit difficult at times. Sometimes it's a little unavoidable. I understand balancing is probably difficult with this type of game, so best of luck to you on that should you continue this project. Beyond that, it's not a half bad game.

nick-biglin 2020-04-23 01:53

I love the art and the concept, but my goodness is it difficult. I really like how switching rotation directions helps you survive, but there were some times were I felt completely surrounded and incapable of saving myself or the moon. But like I said, the concept is great, and the art is amazing. Music fits the art too.

jusw85 2020-04-23 03:08

Great aesthetics and mood! I got a high score of 458. I found it easier to ignore the moon completely and focus on to avoid the projectiles. Also, I think it's easier near the corners where there's more space to react compared to the sides which are shorter.

3lstmsinatrenchcoat 2020-04-23 07:56

Very fun. Reminds me a lot of Super Hexagon (which was also started in a game jam, if I recall correctly).

sundancekid 2020-04-23 07:57

Very cute game, I love the art! The music was really nice too, and the menus feel great!

taran-unraveler 2020-04-23 08:47

Nice game. I found easy to make an high score just keeping my position fixed and moving back and forth by just what was needed to avoid to be hit. Overall the graphics and the music made it awesome to play, well done!

toffanim 2020-04-23 09:09

Simple yet very effective gameplay :) maybe be calm down a bit the attacks at the beginning, the aggression is real! :( It's a bit weird to be killed in 1s when you try to figure out the gameplay! very nice entry anyway, congrats!

azo 2020-04-23 14:25

Very fun but simple, easy to get the hang of but hard to master. Great job!

darkeye 2020-04-23 14:44

I love it! uwu

vatigo 2020-04-23 15:49

I liked everything about this. Gameplay was innovative and challenging, graphics are cute and music is good. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you guys in the future.

ryzy27 2020-04-23 17:42

It's definitely at the top there. Simple, unique mechanic with hooking gameplay. I tried going for 400, but when I got to 288 I started getting worse at the game somehow! :D

Sound effects are very nice, as I did not feel the need to take off my headset while the sun was being hit by 10 asteroids per second.

Release it! Good luck! Cheers!

joonamo 2020-04-23 18:47

I just love those adorable planets! :earth_asia::sparkles:

tommy 2020-04-23 21:21

It did take 2/3 tries to understand how to play, and then another few to learn how to be effective at avoiding stuff, but ended up having a lot of fun! Maybe you could just consider having a less tough start, and then buildup the amount of stuff that gets thrown at you gradually over time.

albionbrown 2020-04-24 00:12

Amazingly simple and kinda addictive game! Loved it! Got 227 :smiley:

kjscott 2020-04-24 08:28

Fun little game! Gets hectic pretty quickly. I did manage to formulate a strategy that seemed to work for me but I was rarely able to keep my moon alive for very long. Is there anyway of picking up a new moon?

penguinbob 2020-04-24 13:40

Very fun and polished game! Great audio and graphics! Pretty intuitive game. Everything looks so cute! Great job, keep making games because your all great at making them!

jacksgamessucks 2020-04-25 08:33

i have a feeling that gameplay is slighlty too fast and random. overall i like the concept but i would like to have more control over the gameplay...

wikers 2020-04-25 13:24

Good game, very nice art and sound, good job

beng 2020-04-25 17:26

The artwork is adorable! It was a bit hard for us. Good work!

hypermania 2020-04-26 05:37

Really cute! Also an excellent amount of challenge. If there's one piece of advice I have to give, it would probably be to consider adding a small invincibility timer (even if only a few frames) between hits; sometimes, you're just really stuck between a rock and a hard place, and have little option but to take a hit or two. (pun entirely intended)

notapollogising 2020-04-26 19:07

I like the concept, and it is cute and polished. The gameplay is very difficult and random, putting me in situations where it feels like it's impossible for me to keep going without some luck.

The music was nice, along with the graphics. The controls feel very awkward. I would prefer maybe moving the moon with the D key, or spacebar or the mouse or something, but the A key and the Left arrow are so far apart and it doesn't really make sense why those are the keys to pick. This is a little nitpicky though, but it made getting the hang of the game much harder having to synchronize my hands. It's not a big deal though.

Overall, good polish, nice concept, mediocre execution with a bit of clunky gameplay. Despite this, it was still an enjoyable experience, and you did a great job.

kuiefs 2020-04-26 21:30

The art and music were great but I didn't really feel like there was any way I could actually play because the meteors were coming too fast.

bobost2 2020-04-28 17:53

The game is very funny :D

gama-11 2020-04-29 15:57

Rule of thumb: never make me pick up the mouse to restart in a keyboard-based game, it breaks the flow.

josh-riley 2020-04-30 22:37

It's very simple but it works well. I really like the graphics, they're super cute and create a whole that's more than the sum of the parts.

One critique is that I wish the difficulty ramped up just a little slower, maybe even just a second or two before the first enemies start appearing would be nice. On one attempt I had a game over before I really got my hand moved from the mouse to the arrow keys.

rayriver 2020-05-01 05:03

It's really a cute game, simple control but funny. Good job!

theceases 2020-05-01 17:27

Sooooooo much fun! Nice and simple, I didn't have to take too long to figure out the controls. Graphics were really good, and sound too. I really enjoyed it, nice job!

puppetmaster 2020-05-03 16:41

Cute graphics and interesting game principle.

The speed was too high for me. Still a cool game, keep up the good work!

flynn 2020-05-07 23:22

very cute little game very soothing to play.
