Tricky but very addicting! I liked the concept, great work!

Developer

Thank you :)

This was a great spin on the theme, would have been nice to have a visual indicator when a planet was small enough to collect but overall fun. Great work Garrett!

Developer

Thanks Skeffles! Yeah very good point, even a color change/outline indicating that the planet was small enough would help a lot

Great idea, but the variation of how wasd affects the other planets feels random. 

Developer

Thank you! Yes the targeting is somewhat random, I didn't fully implement point and click targeting.

Really great idea, you made a really satisfying  game, but I think that it should have a red laser when it targets a larger planet, because at first I thought I could pull a planet, but turns out  it's a game over.  I mean you get used to your planet's size after  a few rounds , but I think this would make the game more enjoyable :)

Developer

Thank you! And I agree, adding clarity with the laser/planet size would help

Nice concept, spent a while playing this as it got quite addictive. There were a couple of times that huge planets spawned right next to me and killed me but other than that it all worked really well and had a fun arcadey feel to it, good job!

Developer

Thank you :) Yeah the spawning didn't take into account the player's position so sometimes that happens that they spawn right on top of you, sorry!

There's something about having planets in orbit around you that feels... SATISFYING! X)

Juggling between shrinking down planets while avoid the big baddies was a lot of fun!

Nice work dude! :)

Developer

Haha thanks so much!

Really cool concept! I think the music was a little too loud when I loaded it up though.

Developer

Thank you! Sorry didn't add volume control :)
