really fun to play! some of the black holes were a bit hard to see against the background and it was occasionally difficult to know where to go next but otherwise a total blast

Can't play the game in LD and Itch

Hi fellow pulse game (mine is named named Pulsar, lol)! :) I loved the mood and pre-rendered 3D style. I think I was able to reach the dying star! The controls were a little hard, but overall it had great atmosphere. Congrats on your game!

Kinda funny.

Very fun to play!! I really liked how the music fits with the spirit of the game. I just didn't quite understand the differences between each hole. And it wasn't so intuitive to throw myself on the star, but wow, it was gorgeous!

Really cool take on the theme. As already mentioned the black holes were a little hard to see. I think your control description may have the mouse buttons reversed as LMB throttled up and RMB slowed me down. Overall nice work and congrats on the entry.

Fun To play, it's really fun to go through black holes and crash against asteroids

Nice concept! Though the red wave is a bit too strong, will be nice if adding some kind of warning mark before it occur.

The audio design on this one is amazing! Loved the use of the different black holes. Controls were a bit challenging, but maybe I am not playing enough space games :D Good job with the game ^_^

Really nice atmosphere, only issue was that the blue arrow didn't reappear at any point and I forgot which way to go so just had to try random directions until I got it right. Overall, controls a bit awkward but fun to play :)

You've built a really nice atmosphere here, particularly I love that the audio is impacted by the black holes. I'm also a fan of the black holes being hard to see, they are black holes after all!

The checkpoint marker should probably stay up for longer, and there seem to be gaps between them which were impossible to bridge without getting wiped out by a pulse.

Great game!

Cool simple game, played it to the end. I liked the serene mood floating in space. Nice Idea, haven't seen such gimmick of covering from a shockwave in this type of game.

I had some problems finding the next satellite, it was trial and error at places when I couldn't see the next rock or even a partially blocked shockwave.

There could have been some kind of ending though.

The black holes slowing down time was a very smart Idea. And I really liked the graphics. I think that you should have kept the direction of the objective on screen Because I frequently lost track of where I should have been headed. (But it would have broke the immersion a bit so I don't know). Very good entry

cool game, super nice sound and the shader effect of the black hole killed it for me, love scinece fiction and space in general so i enjoied it a lot :) well done :* very immersive

Really cool game! Fantastic atmosphere, I love the distortion effects on the black holes. Great work! Time to go watch Sunshine again...

wetburritosupreme 2022-10-12 02:08

Really well done, I think the additions would be to telegraph the star position and maybe keep up the target for a bit longer, but maybe I'm not gamer enough:) It was a good challenge, and the atmosphere was expertly done, music, 3D pixelation with physics, and the sound design (especially the black holes and the pulses) Great Entry!

I see a lot of people saying this, but definitely really liked the black holes. I see a lot of people plying with the idea of distorting the 10 seconds and that seemed like a really cool way to do it. Audio vibes were immaculate, and I loved the chunky 3D asteroid sprites.

Very good game! I liked even the details of adding the arrows after you finished it once, made me do it again (:
