Nice game, I enjoyed it. I would only say that:
- 2nd boss, 2nd phase, fireball explosions. They have kinda loud sfx cuz they explode at the same time;
- "E" attack seemed a bit weak, because dps was similar to autoattacks and it didn't generate a lot of stun. At its laser-immune feature is kinda meh, because it is much more profitable to just get dodge counter attacks to stun the boss.
Thank you so much for the feedback! :D
Very impressive art and visuals! Really fun game too, feels really nice to play, the animation is cool!
Thank you so much! :D
the best game i played with very good gameplay and mechanics and also very polish. as well as a very good tutorial to explain skills to players. Good Job !!!
Thank you very much! :D
Very impressive amount of polish and feel for this one! I was surprised at the number of weapons and abilities that you packed in. The visuals are fantastic - simple, but eyecatching and stylish. Excellent boss design, too - each has unique attacks that get tougher each phase, and I never felt like any combinations of attack were unfair or unavoidable.
I feel like I could cheese the bosses a bit with the fire and the spin attacks. The fire charges very quickly, and it massively increases stagger, so I knocked out the last boss pretty quick with it - didn't really use the ice missiles. I could also chain normal attacks with the spin attack to coverup the cooldown for both types of attacks. But that's not really even a criticism - it took some practice to figure those tricks out, and it look and felt awesome.
That's awesome! Thank you very much for playing! :D
Top notch visuals and esthetics as well as game play. I really like how you made spin an integral part of the game, it feels very natural!
I didnt manage to kill the first boss, but was very close. I really like the fight mechanics and visual feedbacks.
When steam?
A job very well done!
Thank you so much for playing! :D
The action feels so powerful here, the effects make the attacks feel so good, the movement with the orbital path is good and everything works nicely, we learn to play really fast. I rate graphics, fun and control the most, but all is cool, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!
Thank you so much! :D
This looks so polished, the tutorial is very well done too introducing the mechanics step by step and making so much fun to play, well done!
Thanks a lot for playing! :D
This is probably the best game i ever played
Thanks again lightningstriker_666! :D

Good tempo, good visuals, good sound and visual effects. Well polished. Like the game and the gameplay most. Good job.
Thank you very much! :D
Wow... just wow... That might have been the coolest thing I've experienced. The FX, the SFX, the difficulty, the mechanics, just wow... the only criticism I have is that it has to be continued, and I can't just buy everything now. This is definitely steam worthy and probably a contender for 1st place. Good job!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! :D
I am genuinely speechless... This is probably now my favorite game in the jam. This game feels like something I'd buy on steam. Really really really fun!!! I hope this game gets updates in the future!
(PS: It's not nearly as good as yours but if you're willing to I'd really appreciate it if you could rate and give me some feedback on my game! This is my first jam, and I'd love to improve for the future!)
Thank you very much! That means a lot! :D
The best orbit game in the jam. After I beat Light, at the same time I hoped there wasn't another boss because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it, I was so glad to see the To be continued, because I want more of this for sure. Clean, quick, the new attacks enter seamlessly into the game and flow. The formula for this was get a new skill and get to use it right away, but just imagining the full game where you have a full arsenal and can tackle the boss trying to figure out what skills are the ones you need/can solve it with sounds like heaven.
Wishlisted before it ever even showing up on steam.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! :D
Brilliant game, looks so clean and it is really fun. Great job!
Thank you so much! :D
Good job!!!
Thank you so much! :D
vfx is my passion type game, insane presentation
Thanks a lot for playing! :D
Absolutely amazing game! The gameplay was slick, the theme implementation is creative and this deserves 5 stars all around!
Thank you so much! :D
This is a masterpiece. I can't believe I get to play this for free. The polish is perfect and the gameplay is intuitive. The challenge is also excellent and when I die it's because I suck, but everything feels doable and skill expression feels rewarded. Amazing stuff.
Thank you so much for playing! :D
Solid 5 star! Everything, and I literally mean everything, down the most minute detail was perfect. It was fun, the bosses are great, the theme is flawless, I couldn't have asked for better controls, the SFX and music is godlike and the art is so cool! I've got into it and I was in the zone and when it ended I was craving for more.
I can't wait what awaits for this game.
Thank you very much for playing! I'm glad and it means a lot! :D
An absolutely PERFECT game! I have no suggestions for improvement because every aspect was nailed! Visuals, sound, vfx, theme were all on point! Attacks are super satisfying and dodging for a counter-attack followed by a stagger for a bit of a breather AND getting free hits in...it is all so precisely choreographed, I am absolutely stunned! This is hands down my favorite game so far, I personally really hope you get the recognition you deserve and bring home the big prize! Congratulations on a game so well made!
Thank you so much! It means a lot! :D
Game feel really is king, this game feels AMAZING to play, it's so immersive because of how clean everything is and how punchy all the feedback is. Fantastic job on this one
Thank you so much! :D
