i love the low-poly graphics combined with your idea haha, the music is very fitting especially in the main menu. the battles kinda lasted for a while though and the enemy was quite far but other than that love the game :) congrats on the comp/jam
The sounds were pretty good, but there weren't enough. However, this is still a good game!
I really like the music and this is a very innovative concept, I just feel you could've expanded and explored more of its potential.
double cannons OP ;)
The Music is so sick. What software did you use?
Fun idea with cool low poly model. It would have been really cool to be able to move the camera to better view the orbiting objects trajectories. Oh and you may change your "restart key" because F3 is already bind to "search" on chrome. very good job!
The game mechanic is interesting, but it lacks clearness, it's hard to understand what's happening and who do I shooting now. Some visual clues would help. Also, it would be great if the player can control the orbit somehow. But other than that it's a great game and I enjoyed playing it.

So...not really sure what is happening in this game. I couldn't quite figure out what or who I was shooting at. I like the look of it but there was no moment that really caught my attention. I was just kind of confused and ultimately bored. If some more controls and polish to the concept were realized maybe it would have turned out great. As it stands right now though. Borderline unplayable.
As an addendum to the above: I re-read the description and realize what you were going for. So I tried it again. Unfortunately I did not have a much better experience the second time around. I will say the orbital mechanics is a really cool concept that if developed more could be super epic.
I absolutely love the music and the art direction. I had a really hard time figuring out what was happening though.
this one is cool, original and graphics are really good for jam , nice job man !
I did not get how the game functions completely. Just spamming x was winning it but i'm wondering if there are more things which needs to be taken care of. It is good that you have a tutorial but the text is vanishing very fast. Pressing some sort of key to get the next ext piece might be a solution. Overall the game looks promising and the soundtrack was fitting. Keep it up :)
Nice start! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/hSxuRpvTWAs
Well done! I really liked the core of this game, the orbit idea with a bit of resource management is super cool! I think it would be cool to see the orbiting play into the game a little bit more than it did, because I really enjoyed the moments when I realized how to aim based on the orbits and things like that. I enjoyed the simple graphics, and the music was well done also. I think the sound effect could use a little more variation, but we all know content is tough to make in such a short time. I'd love to see more content in this game and I hope you keep working on it and refining it. Awesome job!
A good idea, I enjoy good orbital mechanics use in games! The game looks very interesting, too. It could use a little bit more player feedback - half of the time I didn't know if my shots hit the enemy or not. It didn't help that the enemy hitpoint bars still have a little bit filled even when they're dead - because of that I kept firing on an enemy who was long dead. astronautical.png
Other than that, I liked it. It has the potential to become a really fun and engaging game. I hope you'll keep working on it. ;)
The gif on game profile page sells the game really well. It looks really cool, but in the game the color palette feels a bit weird. The color choices are interesting, but maybe it needs some tweaking. I like the basic idea. Maybe it was a bit too grand to fit in a 48h jam, though. The mechanics seems overly simple and it has some usability problems that make it a bit hard to understand. The tips section is hard to notice at first and when you do, you don't know how many tips you missed. Maybe some kind of help menu with all of them visible would be nice. When you change the target and the camera changes, you could use a cinemachine camera to (quickly) pan/move the camera to point the other target instead of switching instantly. It would be easier to understand what the new point of view is. I like the models a lot, everything looks great. Music is really good too :)
