Really fun game.
Everything was nice and felt comfy.
I feel like the aiming pointer thing on the planet helped a lot with the aiming, and felt like a nice design choice that would have normally been overlooked.

You guys made it really good!
The gameplay, the art, the sfx, the cuteness, you did just good, nothing to complain about. Perfect feeling!
Congratulations folks!

Maximum adorable. Quite challenging, but I enjoyed it. It did crash when I collected 50 little friends, but I still had fun. Excellent work :D

Yes! only problem is I had some trouble knowing what I was suppose to suck in and what I wasn't, but I loved it!

I adore this - super cute art and I loved the gradual build up of the soundtrack layers. Will definitely give it a share :)

This game is adorable. The pixel art is great and the little animations are cute. The game-play is fun as well. Although I think the Time Trial is a good idea I wish there was an endless mode included as well.

Please disregard the last part of my previous comment. I'm just really dumb sometimes.

this is absolutely delightful. I got a fatal error when I beat "play to 50" on the windows port, but it didn't interfere with the actual gameplay at all so I don't really care!

This game made me feel so happy :)))
I wasn't really sure which things were stardust and which weren't though...

Cute, not too hard but not too easy. As some have pointed out, crashes when you reach 50 population. Other than that, good job!

Does it crash on the GameJolt client or the itch.io client? We are trying to resolve that issue.

Enjoyable game, solid controls! A little repetitive and RNG heavy for time trial, but a solid piece. Loved the art style!

Nifty shooter with some adorable graphics and sounds. Kind of easy to die early on and hard to die later on which is a bit on its head, but the controls are solid. Although, I would have liked a fullscreen option because I kept clicking away from the window. xD

Adorable yet very difficult game, everything is polished as one could wish, kudos for that.

What an adorable game, I really enjoyed playing this. The cuteness of it all was a nice offset to how frantic it got when there were tons of things on screen. The design of "shoot, but don't hit the stardust" vs. "pull, but don't pull the enemies" was a great twist for this, and it fit the theme nicely. Not to mention everything from the menus, to the sprites, to the music was beautiful.

Congrats!
