VERY CUTE AND ADORABLE! Love the kawaii art style and polished color palette. But the coziness hides the real challenge beneath it. The idea of gravity as the scaling component is creative but can use a little more balancing. Good job for this game! :)

Developer

Thanks a lot ! Yeah I agree for the difficulty curve :p

Really cute and enjoyable game ! I was hooked ! I thought I was doing pretty good, but got caught off-guard by the sudden difficulty spike at level 11. 

Developer

Thanks :D and yes its a bit to spiky at this level :p

It's so neat and tidy and cute that I don't know what to say... My only grievance is that, as say in the description, it's pretty hard, and I couldn't go very far. Good job though!

Developer

Thanks a lot ! yeah we should've smooth a bit the difficulty curve :p

Very simple mechanics that work super well. I love myself a roguelike. The art style is very cute! Good job team! I want to see more upgrades but I keep dying before I can get to more then 4 ;-;

Developer

Thanks a lot ! Yeah maybe after the jam we will smooth the difficulty curve a bit ahah !

The game is so cute ! The mechanic work very well, even if it become hard really fast 😅

It could use a little balancing.  But except for that, it's really great !

Developer

Thanks, yeah I totally agree for the balancing !

What a nice little game!

Love how you kept things simple while using an inovative movement / attack mecanic. The art and souds are super cute too!

The game feels very difficult, not so much that it becomes frustrating, but I think the main issue there is that upgrades don't do enough compared to the increase in monster quantity. 10% to moon size? Why not 100%?

I had a nice time and tried several time to go further, so it's clearly a good game! Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the detailled feedback !

Just a really well designed little game!

Enjoyment: I found the game easy to pick up and understand. Having the player level up to unlock new elements for the build was really effective at keeping me engaged and I genuinely kept replaying to see how much further I could get if I optimized my build.

Creativity: I think creatively the game is a nice twist on this genre of defend from swarm games. I like how you integrated the theme, i think changing the scale of gravity and by extension your range was a cool way to do it. I also like that you can scale the size of the moon, and that it is actually a major component in optimizing the moon because if its big and it blocks bullets then it becomes waaaay more useful. (very nice synergy! but now I have appeared to wander back into enjoyment talk.)

Style: The game is just so pretty and cute. Everything that should provide visual feedback does and most of the enemy designs are effective and clear. In general the game is just very readable. My one piece of feedback in this area is that I think the small drill enemies are the hardest to see because they are small and share a similar color palette to the background. 


All in all, I had a ton of fun. Well done.

Developer

Wow thanks for the huge feedback it really help us a lot ! <3
