Very simple and fun little game! I especially appreciated all the hidden features -- like the newspaper clippings. The science upgrades felt balanced, but I found that you could hold an arrow key on launch and flip the rocket over immmediately, but still earn $250 million. Also, it can be confusing when the rocket transitions into the landing mode as to what the player is supposed to do (or whether the game has stopped receiving input)
The audio is simplistic, but it perfectly fits the theme of the game. Gameplay can be tedious at times, especially having to restart following every mistake, but it's quite engaging nonetheless.
The graphics are excellent and very cohesive -- it seems that the game restarts suddenly upon failure without displaying any sort of message and the sacrifice can seem too frequent at times
Very interesting game - and complex and enjoyable to play as well. It can be difficult at times to re-group the robots and the camera has difficulty seeing all the robots if one gets left behind - for example at the spinning cylinder
Creative and unconventional; quite humourous and a unique concept. The floating/water mechanics are also excellent! I found, however, that if the starfish falls below the window that they can attain quite an unexpected speed and be impossible (in my testing) to slow down(see GIF below) superstar.gif
Quite an interesting game -- it can be difficult to figure out what to do in the first one or two levels and it seems unintuitive that you *must* lose one unit
A promising concept; it seems that the turn counter doesn't advance and the game can sometimes suddenly reset. Adherence to the theme is definitely unique and quite innovative nonetheless.
Certainly a very interesting concept for the game -- it's engaging while simple to play, and the player benefits from forming more complex strategies. I think it could be improved by making it a bit more interactable -- the first two waves can be defeated by the AI and the usage of the sacrificial attack can sometimes seem like it's best for scenarios in which that ship is certain to be lost already
The game is definitely unique and interesting -- and the art style and adherence to theme are excellently done. To improve, I think it should have been more clear to the player what condition (the progress bar at the top) would cause them to lose hearts and it seems that the Main Menu button at the end doesn't work and flickers when the mouse is hovered over it

Nice graphics and cohesive art style -- perhaps the Astra could track the enemy though as it is quite easy to just miss an enemy

Quite a good game with excellent graphics! However, once the player restarts the level, the game appears to be frozen
