Really fun game! interesting that your own bullets can end up hurting if you don't pay attention to what you are doing, as people already pointed out i would go for a little more precise movement so players can get a little more strategic in their positioning, but otherwise you made a great job!

Very different way of playing. It took me a while to get used to the black hole, but I soon realized that it's quite addictive to know how to use it correctly hahaha It's high risk and high reward. I hope you continue the development, because the game has potential. (If you follow the feedbacks, I think it will be quite good!

The music and the ambiance generated was pretty cool too!

A hug from Brazil! haha

Really interesting concept for a game. Liked the enemy designs where you have to manipulate the bullet paths to bypass schields or deflect their attacks. Felt like the controls were more difficult than they should be, too hard to make precise movements, but can be easily improved. And yes, I saw in another comment that you want to get rid of the friendly fire, which would be a big improvement. Looks and sounds great though, well done!

interesting game, fit the theme well. I liked the main character, would have been nice to have some parallax or something in the background to make the game more immersive, either way I enjoyed playing this!

Very Nice game, the visuals were really cool. Nice Job

Very very very interesting game! The visuals are on point, and the theme si very well implemented! Good job, I really enjoyed this game!

I got to wave 8, the black hole concept was pretty cool! 

I personally don't like the friendly fire at all, the enemy mothership with it's own black hole was pretty cool!

Interesting concept! While it does have flaws explained by other commenters, Asterism still oozes potential.

Personally, I think the game could benefit a lot from giving the player a wider field of view, maybe even letting them see the whole field, this way throwing black holes around will let you see exactly how effective it is without endangering yourself. Player controls could also be improved - the inertia effect and a sense of "choppy" movement makes it difficult to navigate and dodge around the level.

I really like what you have going here!

I enjoy the spacey mood set by the minimal graphics and sound. It really fits well with the dangerous scifi feel to the gravity mechanic. And it the jam's theme is nailed with the limited area and the danger you can build up in there.

I think a smooth camera would have done a lot to improve the experience. The camera moving glued to the player like that makes it feel a bit jerky and disorienting.

I hope you keeping working on this past the jam/ With a little more time and polish I think there's something really good here!

Feels a bit odd and might be a bit out of my alley. There is something good here but it needs more polish.

The good:

The visuals are both good and lacking. It's very difficult to tell how and where the player is moving when the background remains stationery at all times. Some particles or space debris to help ground the player movement is better.

Otherwise, models and sounds are generally in tune. There is a space-esque art direction to this that I see the team is going for.

To improve:

The gravity mechanic, while interesting, seems to be very flat in how they affect gameplay. A single blackhole mitigates all enemy bullets, can heal you, and is a great counterattacking tool, and affects the entire map.

It's too strong. And the only counter to it is a spaceship that immediately destroys it.

The design is very black and white and lends itself to somewhat flat gameplay.

If the blackhole affects a smaller radius, and or takes time to charge up and become effective, it may add more nuance to the gameplay rather than being too centered (and overshadowed) by it

Interesting physics based mechanics.

I'll get the issues out of the way first, the game feels a bit confusing at first glance with the shots that can self inflict damage when they orbit inside the arena, and some of the enemy patterns feel a bit eratic (mostly the rocket looking ones) zooming around at random.

Other than that the game is great, with the orbit mechanics, the hp recovery if you score a kill with the black hole, i particularily liked the fact that if you time it well the black hole can serve as protection by absorbing all bullets of a complicated pattern right as they're shot out XD

Once i got past the confusing begining to learn the mechanics, i had  fun playing.

Good job to the team :)

Very cool game. The fact that your own bullets hit you is quite interesting. I also found the player's design quite unique. An enemy appeared with an almost transparent shot, I think this can get in the way a little, I didn't know if it was to dodge or catch. Overall I thought the game was pretty cool.

Nice mechanics and visual. The blackhole curveball mechanic is super fun to play around with.

Cool visuals!!!

Nice game! I like it :D

Love the concept- the more projectiles you fire make the game slightly harder, with some enemies benefiting from it (like the vortex one).

Would like to see the Gravity Mechanics expanded on!

Wow, nice game! The graphic style is very unique and the mechanics are very creative. I was a bit confused at first with the mechanics, but the black hole idea and the healing were cool once I figured them out.

Damn you made a really impressive game here man. Real fun to play. My only complaint is that it's not entirely clear on everything. For example there's a sound cue for when that vortex enemy starts eating your spawn, but it'd be shown a lot better if the actual vortex part of the ship turned on. As for healing and the black hole mechanic, that went over my head too, I still don't get where it goes when I shoot it out.
