Use of the limitation
You have to fail some attacks to survive, if you add too much mass to the sun very fast, it becomes a black hole (although you can't miss forever)

If cookie cake counts, then 1 slice :D

Definitely an interesting concept. Lots of thought required to maintain success! I actually also really enjoyed your graphics that you used. Great job :)

Developer

Thanks :D

The huge backward force makes movement difficult but also definitely makes the cannon feel powerful.

Developer

Hi! Thanks, I think that was the idea, I'll try to make the general movement a little easier anyways :D

I like the concept! Having to balance the size of the sun is interesting. Maybe it was just me but i couldn't move left/right.

Srry to see that, the ship inertia is high (as a mechanic), but maybe I added too much, and each shoot pushes the ship in the opposite aim direction, maybe trying holding the keys would help :D

For everyone to know: This are the issues I know and I will improve when jam ends in an update:

  • Lack of sound/Music
  • Lack of gameplay: I'll add a simple history mode and arcade mode with diffcults
  • Maybe too much innertia, for now try holding the keys

(I'll add more when I know, thanks for playing :D)
