I found the game’s concept really engaging and had a great time playing it! I recon adding a feature that gives the layout more significance could bring an extra layer of depth to the experience. Overall, though, it was a fun and well-executed game. Congrats on your submission!

Very Interesting! I like switching around the map to hit the boss at a better angle.

I also like how the boss puts down spikes on the roads and makes it tough to dodge but lets you zip around the map to avoid damage in a fun way!

Nice minimalist design. Controls took a bit to get used to but weren't too bad. Overall a great game!

Really awesome game design! I was having a lot of fun until there were too many obstacles to jump over, it was impossible haha. Congrats on submission. Feel free to try our game if you like!

I like the minimalistic graphics, it looks cool here, also the mechanics are nice, its very innovative the fact we can jump from one circle to the other like this and control so well the flow to attack at enemy, I rate the graphics, control, fun and theme on top, really well made everywhere, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback and for the comment! I will check your game out :)

Fun game. Changing orbit is a fun mechanic and the boss felt good. Only things I would want is a way to move keys around, not a fan of having the change orbit button be on the same hand as movement personally. Also an option to hold down to shoot instead of tap.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. The control positions could definitely be better. Regarding the shooting btn, I wanted to create some power ups, and one of them was going to be automatic shooting. But I ran out of time :p. Either way, thanks for the comment and playing the game :)

This was a really fun game! I love that, despite the character being incredibly small, I can still see them clearly and control the situation with ease! The visuals are minimalist but very pleasant, which is great. Overall, this project pleasantly surprised me—excellent work!

Controls are intuitive and interesting twist for the planetary orbit mechanic approach. I like this.

I think the idea behind this game is exceptional, but the execution could be improved. It took me a while to figure out that I could break the smaller pink points, and then I just kept breaking and switching between two points since the boss wouldn’t hit me. All I needed was patience. I mentioned the execution, but I’ll admit I don’t have any big ideas to offer. It’s very creative and requires something different, but I’d remove the part with the small points where the player walks. Instead, I’d make the boss act normally and move around the map, and I’d change the map design. That part of the map needs a good idea, FOR ME, the goal would be to make the game more dynamic, forcing the player to move between points both to dodge attacks and to attack the boss. But really, the concept of the game is very creative, and I loved the sound design and art, you did well!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback. I agree with you to a certain degree, I think the little triangles could have been better done. Originally, I wanted them to be seen as an attack from the boss, with more visual representation of what my intentions were. But I ran out of time :p. Thanks again for playing the game :)

the controls take a bit but once you figure out how to stay relatively still and spam shoot at the same time, you cna rack up damage pretty quick. the fact the boss acts directly proportionate to how often you damage it, this gives a fair learning environment.
the spikes are too much though, and it seems almost impossible to actually beat this game, but it could be a skill issue. Great work though!

id prefer it shooting and changing direction didnt share the same finger to use them. space for shoot i think would make alot of sense as its usually shoot in other games too. e usually for interact etc. traps kinda nasty ya xD very responsive controls and overall performance in browser though i like that! thanx for sharing!

Developer

THanks for the feedback and for playing the game:)

Simple but difficult. Those traps are nasty. It made it more difficult to navigate between orbits when it spawn more.

Such a cool and unique movement system, the game is designed so that I'm constantly feeling like I'm making meaningful decisions, which is such an important thing for a game to instill in its players

Developer

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad that you liked the movement mechanic, is were I spent most of my time :)

Cool idea! really liked the neon style that the game has.

I also liked that the boss moved around the stage, making me have to think about my positioning in the different circles to be able to attack and stay alive.

Very well done!

Developer

I'm glad you liked the game! Thanks for the comment :)

Very simple and nice game but sometimes it feels unfair. Purple triangles can spawn inside green cube making player take a damage that they couldn't dodge in any way. it would be better if there was some kind of warning that would inform player where exactly those triangles are about to spawn

Developer

You are totally right! That would make the game more fair to the player. Thanks for playing the game and for the feedback :)

Very suits jam theme

Developer

Thank You :)

Such an original idea!  Needing to switch orbits to get different firing angles isn't something I've seen in other games, and balancing keeping a pin on the boss and moving around enough to avoid the spikes the boss drops in orbits really required me to think on my feet.

I loved the idea and how it implements the theme on the game, it was pretty difficult tho, but I enjoyed it, and the art was simple but I really loved the colors, it was a very pleasing experience! Well done! :D

Developer

It was tough to defeat the boss, haha. I really liked the mechanics, very complex for playin

Developer

I tried making it more balance, but its hard to know whats a good measure of difficulty when one is the only one who has play the game :p
