Very smooth game. I like the relaxing background music. The game is so simple I could play it instantly, which I love. The game was very easy however, I just sat there blasting asteroids for minutes. A difficulty curve is needed.

wow the music is fantastic! gameplay was great, movement a little too snappy maybe. Otherwise fantastic game!

Very well done! Loved the music, and the little animation and sound the gun makes. Felt great. Nice color mechanic as well. Couple of things, 1 the status bars were a bit offscreen for me (2560x1600 resolution..not very common). Also, it would be nice for escape or something allow you to quit. Nice work!

@superunknown ohhhh I should have tested in another resolution! Thank you for the feedback, I will do my best to be careful about those aspects in the future (pun intended with aspects lol)

cool! i just wish there was a bit more involvement because it gets a bit too easy and repetetive after a while. loved the music and sound and the graphics were really nice. a background would have added to the mood too. good job!

Music is wonderful and the cannon fire animation is so satisfying! really fun little game - well done!

Nice little game! Amazing music, good art and a really satisfying fire animation. The aiming sensitivity was just slightly too high for me though.

I love this game! I like the concept overall. I was cool that you can interact with the "cannon" in the main menu. The only problem i have is that it dosen't really fit the theme

I like that you can even survive without shooting and therefore technically play the game only with the mouse. Is the color important? I think I received more an extra star when I used the opposite color, but am not sure.

Congratulations for this game ! Nice audio and graphics but lacks mechanisms and difficulty.

Could be more difficult indeed. Did I understand correctly that you need to fill the purple bar to heal the planet and get firerate upgrades?

My mind was blown when I realized that you could hold Z to shoot. Maybe you could write "Hold Z" instead of "z" in the main menu. Also think of poor QWERTZ-keyboard users when setting up controls.

Nice try to try to discourage users from quitting by requiring 4 bullets to quit, but only 1 to start the game :D

I'll admit I was initially skeptical about the mouse button movement controls but I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it is. Nice visuals (cannon animation is great), pleasant music, and a well executed concept. Also ties in well with the theme. I think it's a bit too easy - perhaps lowering the fire rate could make it a bit more challenging? Nice job on this it's fun!

The mouse buttons should have been inverted, it would have made more sense imo

But i absolutely love the music and how the sound effects blend with it also the game looks really nice 5 stars for mood, graphics and music ❤️

Cool game with great visuals and audio! At the beginning I was looping around and accidentally shot on Quit instead of Start XD
