Great and sharp graphics! Nice market system! Aiming is a bit hard to be honest. But good job overall!

Fantastic. Nice unique and original gameplay.

At the start aiming was annoying but upgrading it several times, game become enjoyable. It is worth to play. :earth_americas: :sparkling_heart:

That was surprisingly challenging game. I kinda wish there was some kind of laser designation, because it was not easy to judge where the rocket is going to hit. Cool game anyway.

@bearding8 @alpqty @dactarium @kszaku Thanks for the feedback! Laser designation is a good idea, I'll implement it. I'm considering improving/polishing and making a mobile port just to see how it works there.

Fun game with nice graphics :smile: The upgrades make everything more fun.

Cool idea. You should little finalize graphics. Add more mechanics. 4/5

Very nice graphics and the upgrade scene breaks up the pace. I'm not even sure what I can suggest :D may be adding more challange would be nice?

The turning speed can't catch up with the asteroid, it's annoying but that's what makes the game fun :D You want to fight and shoot that damn asteroid! I had a lot of fun playing this game, the first level was ultra annoying because of the slow turning speed (I don't mean that is a bad thing, it's a good game element) then it get much better and fun at next levels. The idea is cute, I like it, and space years is a nice idea too. I like modelling in the spaceship area. The upgrading screen was confusing to me, I couldn't understand it sometimes, but the presence of being able to upgrade your turning speed and rocket renew speed vs. was very good. And also the years was confusing, sometimes I go to a year I was not expecting. Overall I enjoyed it a lot! Congratulations:)

Ha loved it. Best version of this take on the theme I have played so far.

The music was good as was the art but I have to ask. What shape is the sun? :P

I liked the way each new level was harder and harder until I made a mistake and it was all over.

Great entry!

@cemre The year in gameover/level-done screens are wrong but its correct on left-bottom, forgot to fix those before uploading :smile: Seems like I should work on difficulty scaling and add better description to upgrades. I tried adding 1 more star but that was impossible to play against.

@tristian-tee The sun is just a sphere with VertexDisplacement shader. Same shader is also on the comet. The shader is really simple, you can find it on github.

Thank you for feedback!

Very enjoyable game, thank you. We actually had a similar idea, but decided to implement something else

Nice little game, the physic is on point. I was just a bit frustrated with the rotating speed at the beginning but it gets better really fast.

Good job :thumbsup:

I really like the designs, also the ui is nice. The game is smooth and fun, but somewhat passive. like something is missing

melik-cagan-oduncuoglu 2022-04-07 20:07

Love the graphics! and the gameplay is very good and smooth. Good Job!

seniorwombat 2022-04-08 20:24

Ok, I see that great minds think alike xd. Very good idea for a game ;D. I especially liked the rocket upgrade mechanic! Also the visuals are very pleasing to the eye, and the music fits the whole thing. Really good game - well done ;)

Good game! The upgrades ended up being more balanced that I thought they would be (thought I could skimp out a bit on pushback and reload speed, but you made the comet come in more frequently and not be pushed back as much). Would totally play this some more with even more upgrades.
