A cool little mechanism. Definitely very interesting and new! I wonder if this could be made into something that is a bigger scale. Could become a very good platformer or puzzle game.

Theme interpretation
You can shoot the Moon, so that's kind of a moonshot.

Quite interesting concept. I struggle a bit at the beginning to shoot enemies that were far, but then I understood that it was enough to use the moon as a shield.

MoonarchistsFun game. Controls worked great. Well done.
If you like platformers, please try our game.

Lumi and the Dark NightThis game has a very simple but satisfying playstyle. It was very fun and had a decent level of challenge (I think I lost somewhere in the 20s or 30s), and it didn't require me to go tryhard mode which I really enjoy. It seems like very much an open canvas too, like you've created a game where you can easily add on more and more to it post-jam while maintaining the core game loop. All around a great game and a fun time!

MonMonSimple and really fun! The controls are a bit hard to get used to at first but after a couple of deaths I got the hang of it and got pretty good (made it to wave 23 I think that's good? haha)
I liked the two kinds of attacks and it seemed well thought out for the enemy attack patterns. Would have liked to seen some sort of progression through the game though. Maybe the enemies can get tougher as the waves go along? I saw a couple of other games in this jam where they palette swapped the enemies and gave them different abilities/attack patterns. That might be an idea to explore as well.
Hope you keep working on the game and add more to it. The core mechanic is really fun and you could build a lot of interesting gameplay around it. :)

The First WaveThanks! Wave 23 is actually pretty good haha.
The game progression was quite out of scope for the jam, I just added the random generator for the waves since it was too hard to think and test a nice progression, but definitely gonna work on something for the post jam version.
Once again, thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Simple and addictive, did get a bit motion sickness after playing quite some waves though =)

Lunas QuestI like this interpretation, using the moon as a shot. It's a little dizzying to watch the earth rotate constantly, maybe you could focus the camera on the earth?
