At first I thought it would be a bit confusing and overwhelming but the more i played the more i found that actually it was pretty simple and fun. Good job!

God of Nullagyratus's itch.io pageGame's Take on the Theme
We interpret the theme of the game using a system of orbits that spin looking for alignments to battle the boss.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes
If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

Simple, clean, and very unique gameplay centered around spin.
This is a super unique game and I really enjoyed playing it. Orbiting planets is such a great take on the theme and it is executed really well here. The game was really easy to understand as well. Aside from gameplay the games artwork, sound and general atmosphere were brilliant too. You should be really proud of yourselves!
One of the most interesting takes on the theme. Not today discount Remina, we have orbital velocity on our side.
That was an interesting experience. I liked the tutorial as well, good introduction to the game, though perhaps it could have also teach you how to deal with boss attacks, because that's the only thing I didn't get right away.
But yeah, concept with 2 planets can be easily abused, for example I just set max speed for inner planet and then was just controlling outer planet speed to match with the inner one, so didn't need to switch orbits at all. Though yeah, after defeating the boss I didn't have too much of hp left, so if you would increase boss damage a bit more, you could get rid of this cheesy strat. 🙂
The description of the game called this game's main mechanic innovative and I honestly couldn't have said it better myself. Taking this proof of concept and building on it with multiple planets of varying orbits having to be put into alignment sounds like an absolutely superb basis for an action puzzle game. Really great job taking this jam's theme and doing something incredibly creative and unique with it
Unique mechanics for the game. I like how you used the theme in your game. Great Job!
I had to read the comments to figure out what to do. It may need more audio visual feedback to encourage players to align with those devices.
Very unique and well executed gameplay, aligning the planets feels very satisfying
Controls are simple and well made
SFX and art are fantastic
Overall, a stellar game!
Good idea, beautiful graphics, fits the space theme. The gameplay is a bit difficult to understand. You have to play it several times to understand it. It should allow you to adjust the speed up to 100 or upgrade it if you plan to continue making this game. I think this is more of a mini-game than a serious game.
Visually, I liked it. The aesthetics and UI are very good. The gameplay could use some more polish; it feels a bit too simple. As for the audio, it needs more care and attention 😉.
It was fun!
