i thought the visuals look really nice and I really enjoyed playing the game! Although one suggestion I have is that I though playing around with the planets orbit and gravity was more fun then the gameplay, like shooting the asteroids to go round the planet and then round the sun, like a double orbit, and the line wich shows you where the asteroid will go was a really good and useful touch, if you leaned into that mechanic the game could have been even more fun. overall, I though the game was really cool and has potential, well done!

This game's sick. Love the art style and theming. Gameplay is also really solid, even if the controls can be a little finnicky. Tutorial is really thorough and taught well, if a little slow.

I wish it kept track of best survival time, but otherwise it's just a solid, fantastic game!

Cool concept, and great handling of gravity!  I ran into a small bug and got stuck because I fed my first planet to the device immediately and couldn't continue the tutorial. Fun game though!

This is really good! You guys did amazing with the tutorial, I dont see many jam games put so much effort into teaching the mechanics but you guys did fantastic, I dont think i wouldve understood the game with just text and pictures. Its also paced very well, not too overwhelming. Its kinda wraps if you lose one of the red balls after the tutorial before getting 3 but thats just a skill issue. I got to like year 20. But i could see this being very addictive. Great work! Oh and obviously very polished, the line rendering and gravity system is awesome.

I second that, the game is really cool and lovely mechanics but the tutorial is too long sadly

Unique and striking art style - particularly love the vibe created by the fonts, simple shapes, and the sounds.  Very cool!  Just wish it took less time to get into the main game loop.  Fun regardless!
