Omg this is what 2020 has in store for us! Massive red blocks will attack the earth! xD

I enjoy the simplicity. Good level of polish on it.

The difficulty curve seems very steep, I think if game became harder on a slower pace it would be better. Also, sometimes enemies spawned really close to the planet making it hard to react, which seemed kinda unfair. The graphics and music are pretty nice! And while your take on the theme is rather straightforward, it's not something I expected to see here, cool idea!

Art is nice except you left the red box to be a red box. Other than that it has a nice polish, I think there's enough feedback and juicyness.

Fun and simple game
I feel like the shooting direction is kinda counter intuitive(its strange to have the shooting direction aligned with the line), but maybe thats just me.
Overall its a very fun game!

As others have said, the graphics and effects are really satisfying. Just which there would have been a few more mechanics to give players more to do.

WOW
Is it weird that if found the *very* therapeutic !!
The mood was AMAZING!

Really loved this game so thank you!

If I had to say 1 improvement, i would probably say the graphics coulda been enhanced with some fancy lighting, but it's really not too much of a big deal as the game is awesome as it is!

Thank you all for the feedback of the game! I really wish I could have added some power ups during the game jam, however I ended up working two of the three days so I couldn't spend a lot of time on it sadly. I'm very grateful for all the positive feedback and criticism!

Really cool game. Much more interesting take on 'circle around the planet and shot things' than anything else I have seen here. Art and sound are well done.
Looks like you might have your pointer offset configured incorrectly? I know in unity it defaults to the upper left of the cursor texture, and it seems like that is where the bullets go in your game rather than the center of the reticle.

Really good as a first submission! I like how it shoots from an orbiting side arrow instead of the classic front gun, also simplicity gives it a polished look. Congrats!

A bit too simple for my taste, but it works and is well-polished, so good job

It's a good twist on the "protect Earth from incoming baddies" - really turns the idea on it's side!

Lots of good polish with the sort of glow everything has and the light screenshake when you hit things.

It sounded like the music was ramping up as your score increased as well which is pretty cool!
