That's really fun!
Very creative idea.
Good Job!
Loved the way you utilized the theme, probably mechanicly the most interesting game i've played from this jam. Great job!
I agree with the other that you made great use of the polarity concept.
Your art concept is also fitting together great.
I would have liked to see better AI. But that is obviously hard to make in such a short time.
In addition I was missing the feeling of sling shooting with planets. More me it felt like that the major force was direct push and pull. And not really sling shooting around objects more like away from them. Hard to describe. Check out my submission to see what I mean.
Nevertheless I enjoyed it.
My final time on track 3 was 6:21. I am sure that could be improved :D
Edit* nice music you had
This is all good feedback, and nothing I wasn't already thinking, lol. I just ran out of time to bring the full vision to life and make the AI less derpy.
Its good combination of the polarity and race concept. loved the game.
I really liked how you implemented the core mechanic, it works well and makes the game memorable p.s. sorry, I made the game in a team and I did not upload our game to the jam, so I can not rate your game. Here is our game https://itch.io/jam/wmj2024/rate/3212971
