After a while I also found out there isn't really a challenge, so that was unfortunate. You have a nice little game though. With a bit more balancing (and please add sounds) you might have a fun game.
26 days, 2 hours and 16 minutes, not bad at all. Very cute graphics and a entertaining game. Very good use of information in the minimal interface. Great job overall!
Sometimes I seem to be unable to outrun enemies, responsiveness of the game might be the problem (as previously mentioned). Great game though, the sound is very good and the graphics look very cool!
As you mentioned, the controls are difficult. I sometimes got the critter to move in directions I wanted, but the lack of purpose and not gaining points after a few minutes (no clear indication of what gives points). The sound effect in the Ice world (growing ice?) is a bit to chaotic for my taste. Game looks nice though and I will give it a rerun later, thanks!
Nice story in such a small game. Would hav e loved a bit more variation in the enemies. The mood is quite right, now I have to make an appointment with my sister because I haven't seen her for a while! Well done!
Your game reminded me of Slither.io The stars in the backround don't feel right. At some sizes there at looks like static on the screen. It is not always clear when you can "absorb" a larger sized planet. Als it wasn't always clear if I was hit by debris and thus losing parts of me.
Initial interaction frightened me a bit because oof the voice acting. After some time exploring the planet I got used to it and it fits the vibe of your game. Love all the movie references you put in your game, you score great on humor!
Insta favorite of mine. I got some Q-Bert vibes from your game. Really love how the controls get updated by rotating the world. Audio brings an extra layer to a game, but you opted out of that category and it didn't bother me at all that there was none. Very well done, hats off to you!
Your game looks interesting, I had unfortunate spawns where there was almost no room to move. Don't know if it was intende, but when moving sideways you sometimes stick to a wall and you do'nt fall back to the floor. Seems you were quite ambitous for your game, maybe focussing on the essentials would have made the game better. Overall nicely done (had fun for a few runs)
I really lik the concept of your game. It started out with me wondering why the controls of the ship felt awkward and why the floor was rotating. Zooming out made it a differnt game! Great entry and I wonder if you manage to get a great post-compo game out of this.
Very nice graphics. Got bored after lever 31 though. When you figure out the way to attack an enemy there isn't much challenge. Overall very well done!
The lack of sound never bothered me. Best game I have played so far. Great twist on the theme and marvelous graphics style. Best of this game is not going for the ball, but for the opponent :-p I won myself a little worldcup, hope you win something too.
Great work! Love that you created a multiplayer game. To bad there were no others connected when I played. Love the following camera of the bullets. Graphics are lacking polish, but it has its charm. Hope you receive the credit for your work!
Very good entry! I like the music and the use of the theme. SFX are not great though. Implementing a highscore let me play it a few more times! You are a great teacher I love your youtube channel. I used your dreamlo tutorial for my own game this LD. I wanted to get a good ranking in your game, 4th place is good enough: Capture.PNG
Very polished game!!! First time ever, that I drove a car around a shrinking tennisball. Took me a few tries to see that the craters disappear over time (because I didn't survive that long). Good luck with winning this year!
My god, I'm bad at playing LD games... First round of playing I tried to get under the carpet because there is a little part where I thougt the key lay. Got really annoyed by the lack of speed when getting smaller and smaller. More liitle bug were seen at a smaller size. Had myself a little rage quit. Because you got me pumped up for LD with your brilliant postmortem videos I decided to give it another try. Solved it to quickly the second time! Great visuals and music. Can't wait for your postmortem!
Did take me more time than nescesary to find out, that the planes need to go to the start of the dark grey lines. I manouvered them onto those rectangle shapes hopeng they would fly off. The chat messages where very funny, so you score with that! Landing on other planes or a physics glitch here and there also brought a smile on my face. As stated in other reviews it lacks a bit gameplay, but it was quite fun to play.
Nice little short game which fits the theme nicely. I got a highscore of 12488 points after a few runs.
Fallingbricks are sometimes difficult to avoid because they fly offscreen. As in your previous games I like the music your game has. The graphics are clean and simple too. Overall good job!

If the blocks would drop from a higher distance and add some sound your game would be better. Like the idea you were going for.
