Nice artwork 10/10

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the artwork!

A simple game, but it was fun! The art is cute too~ I do think the controls could have been mentioned though, I had to figure out what keys worked on my own (unless they *are* mentioned and I just missed it, in which case lol my bad) but regardless I really liked this!

Developer

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the game and liked the art! I appreciate the feedback about the controls—I’ll make sure they’re more clearly mentioned. Thanks for playing!

The artwork is cute, nice work!

Just a minor thing, I'm not sure exactly what the win condition was but I still had planets left when it said I won

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! I appreciate the compliment on the artwork! As for the win condition, I didn’t have much time to come up with a better ending, so I made it so the ‘Win’ button appears when the score reaches 2500 or higher, regardless of remaining planets.

Cute! The asteroids were annoyingly hard to notice sometimes, though.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you liked the game. I’ll look into making the asteroids more noticeable in future updates!

Cute game!! Didn't really have any idea what was going on at any point but the vibes were good

Developer

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the vibes!

Nice pixel art! I didn't understand at first time I had to avoid asteroids but I made a better score on the second try. Simple gameplay, maybe a chrono could have had more challenge (be faster = taking more risk with asteroids). Good work btw :)

Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you liked the pixel art and enjoyed the gameplay. I appreciate the suggestion to add a timer for more challenge—I might include that in future updates. Thanks for playing!

I adore the art style in this! The movement can feel a little unresponsive at times moving diagonally, and I somehow manged to get outside the map, but the concept is cute and the style is awesome!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you liked the art style. I’ll work on improving the movement and fixing that map issue. I appreciate your feedback!

Very cute art and fun little game! Was a little control-confused at first then found the how to play section.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the art and the game.

Well, it said I  won but the black hole kept going regardless!

At first I wasn't really sure what was going on but eventually I got the hang of it. Kind of barbaric to sacrifice so many other planets, though it looked like they were going to get eaten anyway. 

I would have loved to see the black hole be 'satisfied' so I know that the cats were going to be safe

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I like the idea of showing the black hole being ‘satisfied’ for a clear ending. I didn’t have enough time to add that, but I’ll definitely include it in a future update.
