I like the sound and the art. I wasn't quite sure how to "win" had fun watching the world blow up.

I think the concept is pretty cool, not something I've seen before! Adding some randomness to enemy spawn might help, as it seems you can get them to fall into a repeating pattern and survive forever

Really creative game mechanic! Also loved the music. Very cute game. Meteor hitting the planet animation and audio made me laugh. Nice job. Would love to see this game mechanic expanded on in a larger project.

Pretty interesting mechanic being able to drag around your spawn point. I think it needed some additional objectives or something to keep you from just camping one spot, but otherwise this is pretty solid!

Hamster vs SpaceDino, how can we not love such a game ? XD

Apparently some peoples survives forever when i try so many times and coudnt survive more than 15seconds, any advices ? ^^

Looking forward to play it again!

Nice mechanic idea, but it really needs some tweaking, since you can do this and survive forever (as @zeekza already said):

nice graphics!

I see it a bit chaotic at first but then you get to the controls and the idea is wonderful. Nice graphics and great game!

Great game. Nice graphic. Gameplay with spawn is interesting. I'll add this in my own gameplay mech list, if you do not mind.

It's good, but a little bit hard

Like lisyarus said, You can make the game play itself in that one spot;) Fewer or slower enemies and buttons positioned somewhere in the center of the level would make it better tuned I think. Anyway, nice cutscene, graphics, audio, and wow, even tutorial;) Good job

Starts off quite tricky but good fun once you get the hang of it. Art and sound are both really nice. I think it might have been a bit nicer if you could let a few enemies past you without losing straight away but that's just my preference.

It's definitely got a really cool central mechanic in the movable respawn point!

Really great music! I can't *quite* figure out what the mechanics are though. It seems like I'm trying to stop the lizards from hitting the spawn orb, but also I can't touch them, but also they're trying to press the buttons? Making this a bit more clear might be a good way to get the game to the next level :)

My feeling is the same as most, liked the graphics and sound but wasn't sure how to actually play. Found myself on the 2nd stage continuously blowing up trying to defend those things. But loved the hamster-dino part!
