woof.. nearly missed this one as sideloading it onto the playdate didn't work until I renamed the downloaded file to be a zip and unzipped it first like one of the comments said.

I really liked the animations and art style!

Definently an interesting arcade game. I appreciate how the player has to put the inputs in faster and faster. I loved the animations and art style and thought that overall it looked really nice. The gameplay is overall solid but sometimes feels difficult due to the dpad being difficult to push buttons so fast.


Suggestions/critique:
- It would be nice to see a previous high score list 
- I would also like to see a title screen for the game instead of jumping right into the gameplay.
- Sometimes I felt that the darkness of what button to press was not dark enough to tell right away what button needed pressed. I also felt that the buttons where a bit small.
- for the (what I assume to be distance or time from supernova) bar, it would be nice if that was textured in some way, possibly like a steampunk gauge or something to give it some style
- It would be nice to have a little blurb on a possible story. but it isn't entirely needed.

Overall excellent work!!

Simple and well executed with a very well presented theme! My only suggestion is why not use both face buttons instead of only the one?

the art/atmosphere is great! easy to understand what to do and why

perhaps some different button press sounds for the B button or something would help spice it up and differentiate the commands more?

I love this game! Very fun button mashing action. I got to 90 seconds on my best run. The graphics are cool and fun to watch. And the game is super easy to pick up and understand. I really like what you did here and very creative use of the prompt! 馃尀

Hi there, thank you for your nice reply, I'm glad you found it fun!

Just a heads up the game didn't work when first downloaded to PC as it wasn't recognised as a zip file.

I got it working but others might have issues.

Yeah. For those interested, just rename the supernova.pdx into supernova.pdx.zip and it should load properly!

Thanks for letting me know!
