I would suggest adding a help menu to tell the player what they are trying to do, e.i. hit the asteroids, avoid them, which of the objects are they trying to keep safe, etc.
The game is pretty challenging but once I got the controls right, it was pretty fun. Great work!
I like the art a lot, very beautiful. Nice work!
This is awesome! It feels very satisfying and fair despite the randomness. It seems very polished, too :)
Only note of criticism - I'd like a quick-restart button for when I die. I kept having to take my hands off the keyboard and reach for the mouse.
My other feedback has already been said on other posts: make inital difficulty a tad easier and some invincibility after getting hit.
Excellent job overall! Had tons of fun :)
Aesthetically also pretty neat
and i don't know if it's just me, but the game lags...
a little difficult to understand the controls at first, but I pretty fast got the hang of it :)
audio is quite nice as well, but it can get a little annoying after the time - but this game has the possibility to change audio options (Y)
I played it for a while and I thought it was really hard! Good job!
the graphics are cute and the game is very simple!
Anyway, nice graphics and music and once I got the hang of it I played for a good 10 minutes to beat my last score.
Everything ties in nicely, and the powerups are a nice addition to keep it interesting
But seriously, this game is fun as much as he's cute: And he's cute as hell, trust me. Also the music is perfectly reflects the mood of the game!! I can't even find an flaw in this game: it's perfect... :3
228 top score.
Sound effects are very nice, as I did not feel the need to take off my headset while the sun was being hit by 10 asteroids per second.
Release it! Good luck! Cheers!
The music was nice, along with the graphics. The controls feel very awkward. I would prefer maybe moving the moon with the D key, or spacebar or the mouse or something, but the A key and the Left arrow are so far apart and it doesn't really make sense why those are the keys to pick. This is a little nitpicky though, but it made getting the hang of the game much harder having to synchronize my hands. It's not a big deal though.
Overall, good polish, nice concept, mediocre execution with a bit of clunky gameplay. Despite this, it was still an enjoyable experience, and you did a great job.
One critique is that I wish the difficulty ramped up just a little slower, maybe even just a second or two before the first enemies start appearing would be nice. On one attempt I had a game over before I really got my hand moved from the mouse to the arrow keys.
The speed was too high for me.
Still a cool game, keep up the good work!
