Interesting mechanic and good mood i like it!
So much cooler than our sun..
Very cool game! It is not very balanced, but still cool.
Nice little short game. I enjoyed it a lot :smile:
I had fun playing this game :D The sun was pretty groovy and the game mechanics were easy to understand yet offered a bit of challenge. Music was nice and set a good mood along with the rugged art style. :)
Fun and innovative game. Was a bit odd that you just suddenly restart the level if you die without any messages or anything so I for a few times thought I had either broken it or that some how I had multiple lives or something.
Really nice graphics and idea! Some levels were a bit frustrating, though. The Darksouls of two-button-games - grat job overall!
A very cool sun there indeed, doesn't even feel the need to tell me their backstory ;). Took me a while to figure out the orbit mechanics (namely that you speed up when close and really slow down when far away). I feel a bit bad for making my planet's population freeze to death. but they seemed to get over it quickly enough. Mechanics wise I liked the idea of the second meter once your planet sprouts up life, but it felt a little too generous to have much effect and I never came close to hitting zero, even when perched at -300 degrees while I waited for a nasty set of asteroids to move by. A bit more variance in the last stage would have been nice too. Graphics were simple and effective, but I would've liked a few more ambient background things such as other planets. I did really like the end screen though, it seems that's the bit that's often forgotten about. Nice work!
I liked the nice originality of the idea. I personally would've liked if the shrinking and expanding happened a bit faster. The sun was pretty funny and the graphics were cute. The music also stopped when I was playing. Maybe make it loop when the song ends so that everything does suddenly go quiet? Also maybe make it a bit easier by slowing the spin of the planet and letting it expand and shrink orbit faster as it was a little hard.
The sun was definitely heckin' cool tho
The game idea is very original and nice!
I played it under wine and had some graphic and audio issues: background sound was somehow grating and the health bar of the planet was right in the middle of the screen (above the sun and everything). But no point reduction for that since it was made for windows.
also like the humour of the game.
All in all very good entry. Keep up the work :)
Very interesting idea, was very fun to play.
You really had a great idea for the core mechanic. The game is very fun to play, last level is pretty difficult but I enjoyed it a lot. Congrats!
Super fun game with a really cool sun. Good job!
