Great Graphics
I like this game in all aspects: it has challenging, but pleasent gameplay. The mechanics are intuitive and the sound/visual effects greatly help. Keep it up ^^
A fun game with great music and art! There were so many actions, it was good you had a tutorial :sweat_smile: I was almost overwhelmed, but the music kept me going!
Nice graphics and art! Overally nice game, I can really see current theme in the game.
An hour just passed, wow, amazing stuff here
Excellent game! Fits the theme perfectly, has excellent graphics and audio, and feels really polished overall. Great work.
Fantastic game, quite tricky to play, but I guess I just need more practice
Very polished game with great graphics and sound. The game play was super smooth and satisfying. The random nature of the asteroids meant that I lost droids more quickly than they were replenished though. I had to blow up 4 asteroids in a row because they were going to hit the satelloop. Nice idea and execution though!
Excellent mechanic :) Takes a better take at some of the games I have played. Small addon -> I had to zoom out on itch web build to properly see the game. Probably a build issue. Flawless execution though!
This is really nice! I found the tutorial quite overwhelming and took me a while to get used to it, especially the repairing part. Maybe try making the tutorial a little slower. Like, let the players get used to movement, shooting and retrieving for a while and then introduce destroying and repairing.
Great job overall! :)
Graphics are pretty good and you can learn evetything about game via the tutorial, also nice mechanics here !
Good Job !
Realy fun and addictive gameplay loop. I liked how drones come back without rmb if you have a hook on them and they are nearly out of screen.
Could be better with some more loops. Like upgrades or diffirent lvls.
Cool game, always though this type of game would only make fun in multiplayer, but actually single player is also very fun!
Great game! One of the best submissions I played here so far. Fun to play, with original gameplay that isn't too hard to learn, and the soundtrack is amazing!
(I could imagine there being some station upgrades that'd let you craft miniguns and whatnots. That would make me happy.)
Excellent job!
very thorough gameplay ! Very fun to play!
Graphics are good and the music is catchy. I'm amazed by all the interaction you can do. controls are very easy to understand even without a tutorial.
Good Job :thumbsup:
I always enjoy space games that don't revolve around blasting things. This was a creative take where you had a lot of options and things to do. Very polished as well, great game!
Cool look, the art is really nice! Interesting game design and fun to play. Good work guys!
Very cool game, I loved graphics and enjoyed the time I spent on it. It would be awesome if you add more features now ;) Great job !
Actually pretty cool. Having to manage everything at once can be tough. But it seems kind of well balanced. Also very innovative
Really cool and great graphics. Maybe a few too many mechanics for a arcade game. On my run I easily defended everything, got 1 impact but never bothered to repair it. Then sunddenly it was game over because the energy run out.
Thanks for all the comments fellas!
@hoolop @kuro @sayuri The original plan was to have an upgrade station (to upgrade slots/generation rate etc.) and a turret station. Expectedly that was too much for the scope and we concentrated on the core bit instead.
@keyurrana Understandable - there's a lot to learn. The tutorial doesn't progress until you do the specified actions though so you should have time to screw around with other actions you learned to test them out. But yeah, like always, it could have been made much better with time. :)
@reallyqbert Yeah, could always be more balanced. Did you have all the generator buildings turned on? I find that helps in the later levels to always have 5 drones + 4 as backup.
It's always disturbing (the controls) this kind of game where the character walks on a sphere XD But, it's a nice game !
great job!! great graphic! great game!! i like it! one of the best game i think!
Super fun.. The polish is mint. I think there needs to be a way to ensure I have enough drones.. No matter how well u play you'll always find you're outnumbered.. I could find myself playing this for hours.. But I must rate more games.. Great job btw!
*Edit* after playing some more.. I think it might be balanced pretty well, as is!
Awesome game ! I liked the mechanic, feels like a production ready game!
nice! polished. great sound choice, good controls, crisp feel overall
Super well designed on all accounts, it's a fun take on the theme and the multitasking involved really makes the gameplay engaging!
This was really well polished and the mechanics were very, very interesting. It feels like you managed to pack a lot of depth into a very concise package. The audio in the tutorial was incredible, but it seems that the backing track went away after a while. Also, I noticed that if one mouse button is held down and you click the other you can cheat the speeds a bit. Those minor gripes aside, this was a really fantastic entry. Great work!
@morrilet Thanks for playing! I've only seen that music issue happen once - would you happen to know under what circumstances it stopped? Were you still in the tutorial when it happened? Were you playing the HTML5 build or the downloadable one?
@diptoman I had just skipped the tutorial after I got most of the way through it (after repairing) in the web build, actyally. Not sure if the tutorial is meant to repeat once you restart (hit r, not refresh) but I kept having to skip the tutorial - maybe that has something to do with it? Hopefully that helps!
really cool concept! great job!
Great game! Love the concept. The only thing I didn't like was the hook speed, too slow. Good job :smiley:
Well polished, good game. You nailed the music for this. Kinda reminds me of good old Flash games.
Enjoyed it!
I really like the music! The game was cool, but somewhat hard to understand!
Like the idea and the sound. The Loop theme is applied well with the space station. Good Job
Great game to play, addictive loop, solid concept. Job well done!
Wow, the game is really funny, quite complex and very addictive. Well polished, the art is good, and the music is amazing!!! I reloaded the page 5 times just to listen again the initial song that starts with the tutorial, make it a full track! Congrats!
realy cool entry :)
•Graphics are cool •All ellements of design are polished •Signes and feedbask are realy clear. •Good sound fx, maybe a bit repetitive. •Solid concept and good theme using
juste healing mecanics is not very intuitive.
Good jobs to the team
Satelloop
**I really liked this game!** Everything about it seems to have been extremely well thought out, from the great on-boarding tutorial to the actual gameplay. The idea of having to deploy the drones to collect energy, and others to defend the satellite was pretty great. The graphics and music were also pretty clean and catchy, and the game really nailed it down on the space-atmosphere!
I did run into the issue with audio that was already reported by someone before, where the music just suddenly cut-off. I was playing the Windows version, and had just restarted for my second playthrough. The music cut a few moments after I skipped the tutorial. It didn't return afterwards, so the third playthrough was only SFX. Still, listening to the game music during my first playthrough and as I write this review, I can guarantee you its a great tune! :musical_note:
I can't really see much flaws in this game overall (I was a bit unsure how to rate the humor category here). While the mechanics were on the safe-side, everything worked as intended, and the balance was very good. I fell towards the end it was a bit hard to balance energy with the speed I had to deploy drones to destroy the asteroids, but that's common as far as arcade games go.
**My final highscore after three playthroughs was of 323 days!** Almost a full year, but I couldn't quite pull it off. Seeing you guys profiles, I can tell that you already have some experience in this rodeo, so I made sure to follow and I look forward to seeing your projects next time around! Thanks for the great time, and cheers! :whale:
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

Wow, that was awesome. Really fun to play, and the music was great. Great job, I look forward to seeing your future games!
Great, game! I didn't understood how you are supposed to get enery, until I checked out Elysias stream (but also no one else seems to complain about that, so that might be on me). Playing it with retrieving energy is much more fun :D.
I really would like to discovery this in competition time. Amazing game, exactly the type of gameplay that I enjoy the most.
top 5 imho.
Congrats.
