How does your game fit the theme?
The Sun and Moon are fighting, but they are Joined Together in Earth's orbit. Their movement and projectiles all influence each other. They also must both make sure they Join Together to make sure the Earth doesn't die from both their own attacks, and the occasional alien attack.

Gravity rules! It's always fun when projectile movement is messed about by gravity.. tried to do it sniper sling shoot style to protect poor old earth, but my calculations are always off! Rambo style it is then hahah! Interesting and fun game mechanic indeed! Fun game with charming graphics, love the chilled out music! Well done :D
Scientifically inaccurate, yet positively fun!
Ahaha the bullet gravity is nice and unexpected!
Thanks! Glad it caught you by surprise!
Really cool concept! The gravity certainly makes it harder, but in a fun way. Also I always love space themes haha. Nice job on the game!
Thanks, didn't want to make it too easy! Who doesn't love gravity and space?? :D
Very unique and fun! Nice work!
Thanks! I try and think hard about what would make a game unique, so I'm glad you found it so :)
This was fun! The music and art are both very pleasent as well. Wish I had someone with me to play 2-player.
Thanks! The music was pretty rushed so I'm glad to hear you found it enjoyable. I was worried it would be annoying! I actually haven't played 2 player with another person yet either. The game will always be here if you ever find someone to duke it out with :) (:
Short and sweet. Was fun watching all those pellets you miss orbit around! Wish I had a chance to play it two player.
I wasted a lot of dev time admiring the orbiting pellets myself!
The art of this game is amazing. Really gives each celestial body a personality (especially love the cute earth sprite and the sun wearing sunglasses) which makes the game much more fun and lovable. The puns at the end after winning/losing (and even the title too!) were simply beautiful. Despite being really simple and not having anyone to play it with, I had a blast for the few minutes I was playing the game! Lots of charm all around here :)
Thanks for the really nice and thoughtful comment! This was my first time using a drawing tablet to make the art (vs pixel art using mouse + photoshop), which I gotta say was a lot more fun, and I'm glad it showed in the finished product. I spent a bit more time on "polish" than I normally would during a jam, so Im happy it paid off in the charm department. :D
Really nice game with cute graphics! Mechanics work very well too!
Thank you for also making an alternate ending :-)
Thanks! Glad you got to experience the alternate ending. The sad earth sprite might be my favorite graphic :D
Great premise! I was a little confused at first how it worked, but got the hang out it. I like the mechanics of the planets orbiting even if I wished there was a little more freedom in movement. The art style is fun and overall fun game :)
Glad you were able to get the hang of it! Yeah, I had some ideas about there being multiple orbits that you could hop between or something, to increase movement options. But 48 hours lol
First off, the name really sold it to me XD The gameplay was a lot of fun, and I'd love to try the multiplayer version. I liked the look and feel of the game too! :D
Thanks! I was worried the title would be a little too ambiguous, so I'm glad you liked it :D
Nice arcade space fighter! I enjoyed the concept and controls. I'll need to find someone to play multiplayer with! Good work.
Thanks! I tried to make it really simple so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think it's a bit more fun with multiplayer :) (:
Awesome!!! The gravity is so much fun
Thanks! I've never done any gravity based stuff before so it was all new to me. I like it too :D
Cool game, well done!! And the multiplayer is fun HAHAH!!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the multiplayer :) (:
