Very exciting concept!

By no means was I ready for that boss :D I really liked how you work with the scale: you can feel how gigantic these planets in the background are! I would probably prefer the boss fight not to be that tense as regards the amount of projectiles, but that can be just my personal impression.

Always happy to find and try out another "space" game at this GMTK :)

Developer

Thank you very much! We definitely would put some more time into balancing in the future. Thanks again for playing!

Love the hand-drawn art style and the core gameplay also left a deep impression on me, nice job!

Developer

Wow thank you so much! That means a lot! It was such a fun concept for us to pour our hearts into

Did not manage to kill the snowman but fun little game ! Nice job

Developer

Thanks for playing! That cosmic snowman can be tricky for sure.

Submitted(+1)

I didn't expect I would be fighting a giant snowman in space! That was such a fun game! It took me some time to beat the boss because it's quite difficult but I like the challenge :)
Maybe it could be nice to have a checkpoint after the boss, because I didn't have the courage to start all over again 😅

Developer

I absolutely agree that a checkpoint would be a nice relief! Thanks so much for playing!

Cool rock star game! Watching the star grow is nice.

Developer

Thanks! It was fun to make little lumi scale!

Love the concept! I also went with an space theme, Try out my game if you get a chance :D

Developer

Thank you! You got it!

This is sick. I really loved the subversion of expectations!   

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad we were able to tell the story!

A challenging but fun game, with an interesting idea. After many attempts, I couldn't get past the second boss, so I don't know how much more of the game there is, but what I did play was very enjoyable. The art and music(especially the second boss) were great.

Developer

Thank you, and great job! That second boss is a tougher one for sure. Spoiler alert: that was also the final boss, so you did great ;)

I like the background effects, star movement itself could have a bit more dynamics, like some animation or particle effects.

Developer

Absolutely agree! Would love to make this a little more juicy.

Submitted(+1)

It's pretty well made! I like the sounds and visuals. For 48h it's very fun to play.

Developer

Thank you! We really crunched to get this as polished as we could in that time!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, the bullet hell wasn't too hard but not too easy either. Though the art is not too much my style but it has it's place. The snowman boss is especially cool.

Developer

Hey thank you! Glad we were able to get the balancing right!

Submitted(+1)

I love this! The art style is so great: the star is really cute. The music is a banger too.

This was fun to play!

Developer

Thank you so much! We went through a couple stars to get to Lumi so we really appreciate it!

This is extremely impressive for just 48 hours. The aesthetic of the game is very cool and I was very immersed. Had so much fun playing too. You deserve way more ratings

Developer

You are so kind! That means so much to us! We went for the shorter time cause the weekend was all we had. So glad you liked it! 

Submitted(+1)

Fantastic game! Didn't expect the bullet hell at all. Fantastic job for creating this in a few days! May the best game wins

Developer(+1)

Thank you! We didn’t expect it either, but next thing we knew we were knee deep in it and just went with it! Thanks you :)

You can appropriately adjust the size of the web game page in the editor to make it more convenient for players, but I still enjoy your game. The bigger the stars, the vaster the universe!

Developer

Good call! Definitely something I'll do next time. For now, scaling the browser size should work haha, but that's not as convenient. Thank you for playing! :)

Nice game! I liked the music and didn't expected that last boss

Developer

Thanks so much! The boss was fun to make and our musician was talented! Really proud of her. Thanks again!

Submitted(+1)

Loved the visual style and the music as well! The game could be improved a little by having the asteroids spam further from screen. I died on second level just by asteroids spawning on top of the star. Could also be more fun to have a secondary objective like getting point for destroying asteroids.

Developer

Thank you for playing and thank you for the wonderful suggestions! I appreciate the feedback :)

Totally forgot things were even scaling until I'm fighting Cosmic Snowman, I was in the zone and it actually shocked me when it scaled out to that. 😅

Developer

Yes! Thank you so much for playing!!! I love to hear your experience :)

I love the art, music, and game idea! The twist was really surprising and that last level is HARD! Great job! fun to play

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!! We had a lot of fun making it!!

Developer

This was such a fun experience and we're so proud of this cute little adventure we made! We hope you like it! 

Last year, our submission crashed right when the deadline passed. As much of a bummer as that was, it fueled us to push this one through with time to spare! Let us know what you think, we had a fun time coming up with a story "twist" to match this years "Built-To-Scale" theme.
