Would love leaderboards to see how my best time stacks up. That chart at the end was a nice touch. Very slick.
love the way the letters get sucked into the middle at the start. simple but effective game. nice work
Simple but effective concept. Pixel art is nice, really like the 'close' mechanic. Also this may be specific but I really like that hitting the asteroids isn't game over - I can see this being very tempting to implement as a designer but you've restrained yourself. Well done!
Like some other people have already said the animation was really slick and the color palette was great as well. I thought the gameplay had a good balance between easy to understand and fun to master. All in all great game, good job!
I liked the main character animation, and hits making you slower is a great idea, it gives the player some breathing room in case they fail. Do close hits make you faster?
Such a vibe.
Very polished game I love the art style a lot. Maybe it'd be nice to have more variety in the obstacles but I still had fun. Also like other people were saying it'd be nice if you could skip the black hole animation.
I love the graphics and overall vibe and the idea plays nicely with the theme too. The final scoreboard showing your speed over time is great. Maybe restarts could be faster - the opening black hole animation is awesome, but took a bit too long to get back into the action.
The color palette and all the effects were very nice. The graph at the end was a touch I especially liked. I felt like the player's hitbox was a little bit too large for a game about getting close to objects, and the tail should not have been able to collide as that felt really bad. The UI was very clean and readable. Gorgeous game, great job.
Good color choose, font and everything is clean and readable. Nice particle effects. The controls are very simple, yet a bit hard to master. Good little game
The effect of the black hole kinda tearing the screen from one end is really dope. Controls feel good although the little delay when you hit a rock kinda got me out of my flow, but let's chalk that up to skill issue. Fun little time waster!
Absolutely awesome game! I can already tell this is gonna place high. Well, made, polished, fun and technically impressive too! I love it love it love it!!
