Loved it!
Cool art and I liked the concept. I'd just recommend adjusting the colliders to help the player a little bit, because I felt that some of the levels demands some level of precision that, for a game where the planet gravitation is the main controller, feels a little too rough. Also, I've been having some problems to keep scrolling the planets, but isn't like my mouse is the best one, so it could be a "me" problem. Overall, interesting gameplay and it's a good way to unconsciously teach people about gravitational force. Good job :D
I actually really enjoyed playing it. Great idea with neat adaptation!
Awesome game, it's a pretty interesting concept.
Hmm, never thought I'd fly through space by controlling the planets, but here we are.
Creative concept, great execution. Balancing putting planets close to the "player" to get better control while not smashing into the planets leads to surprisingly naturally balanced gameplay. Game is fast enough to be challenging and fun without being so fast that it feels unfair or stressful.
I generally try to give a point of constructive criticism when critiquing games, but I genuinely don't have anything to say except well done, and good luck!
I think this game fits the theme out of control better. But still good job
Great game, very fun and fairly difficult, the art is amazing as well as the music
Amazing job!
Great game, love the theme interpretation at play here, and it's a simple mechanic that is surprisingly hard to play right.
Creative interpretation of the theme, and a really smooth gameplay mechanic - definitely hits the "easy-to-learn, hard to master" sweet spot. Loved the aesthetic as well. Excellent job!
Gorgeous little game! Really challenging, but not in a bad way. I didn't realize at first that you could actually move the planets around, which was a fun discovery! I still struggled with it because in the first level where I had to move the planet around I either wasn't quick enough to stop the ship from getting out of range and running into the wall or, when trying to go faster, by exploding my ship by running the planet into it accidentally. Still, really cute and enjoyable - one minor complaint is that I didn't realize the super nova was a black hole at first, I thought it was a star or explosion that I needed to avoid. It would be really nice to have this as a scrolling level, so that instead of hitting the wall ending the game, only hitting obstacles ends the game.
Wow. Pretty amazing!
Was definitely very fun, but I can't help but feel that it would have been better if you could always move the planets, not just when they are in range.
The visuals are perfect! Love the satisfying little squishy animation when you beat the level (honestly, it's what kept me going!)
Not super convinced it really fits the theme, but great job overall!! Hope you had fun making it.
Really fun idea and super polished!
Neat gameplay. Would love to play it on my phone!
wish i could move the planets even when they arent in range of the ship but very nice concept and game!
Nice concept, music was very cool!
The Idea is very awesome, so is the gamplay.
The music and the gameplay is very cool. i really enjoyed it.
Epic concept
Thanks!
Indirect control is very good idea here. Maybe colliders are bigger than it's needed
This game is very fun! It is fairly difficult but very neat! I do just feel like a bit too much freedom is given to the player since they can move the planets, but you still executed it wonderfully! Job very well done! The art looks great too :D
