Excellent and solid game. I was a little confused on what caused me to lose, whether it was getting hit or the planet being destroyed? Good music too!

Excellent graphics and game. Congrats to the team.
I'd like a way to move quicker, like a dash (on quick double press button) or alike, but it fits well for a less difficult game.
You'll probably receive top ratings for this.

Simple and cute, I liked it! The game is really RNG heavy, and you are forced to lose due to all the running and meteors :( made it to lvl 11 though.

Fun game. It took me a while to work out the little red pad wasn't a pool of lava. I'm a sucker for a circular world.

Nice game, a little repetitive after a while though.
The red, pointy things that spawned upon you and the super fast meteorites felt unfair as there was no way to notice them and try to do something about them before they hit you, meaning unavoidable damage.

This is a surprisingly well polished game for a game jam.

The game felt really trollish when spawning enemies below you. other than that, nice concept.

The cow looks fantastic! And the game mechanics are cool! Maybe a bit too easy at the beginning :P Keep up the good work people!

I never noticed the core growing until I re-read the instructions here. Cool idea!

Not very innovative, but the gameplay is solid and the controls are nicely implemented. The graphics and audio are nice too.

Also, is that a spherical cow in a vacuum? I thought they were just hypothetical.

Great presentation, with a unique visual style for the character and the world itself. As a player, I wish there were more I could do to stop meteors from hitting the planet -- maybe if double tapping a direction made the character sprint? Anyway, really fun to play -- great job!

By the way, if I understood the credits right and you didn't make the music, you may want to opt out of the Audio category.

Sadly there are no extra categories for music and effects - (and in terms of missing categories graphics and aesthetics:( )

Very fun and simple! I liked it! Sometimes meteors move too quickly, and you can't apply shield.

Very nice Animation. I liked the gameplay (not so innovative, yet very solid !) good job
