It’s a calm and a relaxing game with a cool concept but I think the gameplay needs more variety. I really like the storytelling though, following the little white dot and then seeing the planets orbit. It was also really cool when the camera zooms all the way out to show the scale of the sun. Great work there!

It turned out great, passed the second time, after I saw that I needed to play full screen :)

The animations are smooth, the colors are beautiful, the gameplay is not annoying, it turned out great!

Really enjoyed the design with the trails reminded me of some classic games. I did find it very easy to cheese tho as i could just move from corner to corner till lots of em appeared then go through em all. I really enjoyed the game though and think it was made very well given the time constraints.

Nice minimalistic mechanics with great visuals. The idea was consistently executed, with good pacing, and simple enough mechanics. I think some kind of stars in the background would help to convey speed and distances traveled. Another suggestion for the end scene: A very slow and gentle camera zoom out that increases over time until the star system fades away to indicate the end of the game, I was kind of waiting to see if something would happen.

very interesting mechanic...took me a little bit to figure out what to do (thought I was supposed to aim at the enemy things at first), but I got there after a few tries. Really liked the presentation and the gameplay - simple but effective idea! :D Really nice work. Congrats.

I really like the smooth visuals in this game! It took me a moment to understand the core mechanic, but once I did I enjoyed it a lot!
