The game is interesting and its style is cool. There were some difficulties with the controls "I almost always ended up in a black hole)))", but otherwise it's a fun game

I did it! very fun game. But difficult, but fun!
Cool gravity pulling system! feels like im in space hahah
I like the mouth sound effect, go very well with the doodle graphic. The game is a bit hard in the later part where there are lots of black holes. Thankfully the checkpoint system help it a bit.
I think this game is good, The graphics are definitely the best part about this game, they are very stylized. I did not like how your own projectiles could kill you, I think they would be better if they just went through the player. I also think some background music would make the game feel a lot more fleshed out. Other than that I enjoyed it :)
There's a ton of charm in this game. I really liked how the bigger planets had a noticeable gravitational pull and could cause me to kill myself with my own projectile. Ended up not fighting too much but I loved slingshotting myself around black holes to skip checkpoints entirely. The entire physics system works really well, even if more often than not I was throwing myself out into the void. Really nice work!
awesome game idea about the silent walker! You guys are great! Cool realization and gameplay about her flights in space! Nothing superfluous. 10/10
Great idea! Found the mechanics challenging, but fun.
Kinda hard, but very fun! Also, gotta love tardigrades <3
A wonderful game with interesting gameplay and an intriguing concept. I really like how movement and gravity are implemented here. In my opinion, there are some issues with the weapons and shooting; it seemed inconvenient to me. But overall, the game is unique and captivating.
Nice one, orbital/gravitational mechanics work extremely great. I loved the "acceleration black hole tunnel" you've made! Sometimes it was hard, but that's space flight! Screenshot 2024-10-12 at 10.34.11.png
Really nice game! Great player feedback with good sound effects and particle systems! Also perfect with the quick reset button and easy controls. In general a nice game jam game!
I thought it was a little bit hard to steer. Mostly I wasn't sure where my input would take me. Maybe it if the particle effect behind the player lived a little bit longer and there was some kind of indicator or the direction of gravity could help. Gravitational objects could also have a circle around them showing their gravitational pull (but maybe that would be too cluttered). It could also be nice to reuse the green of the bullets in the wormholes - telling the player green is bad, blue is goodimage_2024-10-13_162451164.png.
Anyways nice game!
@bjornstenlund Thank you for the detailed feedback and the mockup! You're dead on about giving the player more information, that would have been a really good addition to the game and would have made it more readable. If I was making this game again, I would definitely add that
I've messed around making games with interstellar body gravity, and it's surprisingly tricky. This feels _really great_ for a jam game though! Got me trying to slingshot my way from planet to planet (I didn't do a good job of it.)
Instant :star::star::star::star::star: for the sound effects.
Oh yeah! Tardigrade! They are certainly not from our planet. Cool sounds btw
Hey: you get top points for humor and mood. How is this not THE theme of the dare. Nice work. It was very good that there was so much physics involved in everything: the bullets, the dynamics. My one feedback would be to avoid a feeling of sickness from the rotations would be to use some smoothing on the rotations and not instantly turn. Great level design and good retry mechanic. Loved it!
Cool! And actually fun to play!

A really hard game. Gets harder since you could get killed by your own unreliable shots. I have to replay this again to complete it but I managed to reach 3rd checkpoint.
