I love it. The controls feel great. This could be expanded to a much larger game but is so lovely as this tiny package, and the musical choice is (chef's kiss).
Thank you for playing and commenting! In the early game, you have to be pretty conscious of energy use, especially when you start travelling between star systems. After you find a few artifacts and/or get better at orbital mechanics, this becomes less of an issue. (Hint: let your momentum carry you and be patient)
Very cool idea. I'm gonna propose this at my next game night for as a hold-over for players who have been eliminated from a larger game, or even maybe use it as a puzzle/challenge in a D&D session.
Very fun game. Just the right amount of challenge. I like the different attacks for each vegetable, and the idea of having to grow them but also having to fight them is very imaginative. Well done.
Excellent game. It was a little frustrating at first, since I personally struggle with the mouse-point-gunfire thing, but once I got some walls built I just had to stand in one spot and rapid fire in one direction.
I like the concept a lot, and the mechanics are great, especially for so few buildings/animals. It could definitely be expanded into a much larger game with different crops with different effects, more animals/buildings, and even more gnome types.
Music and sound effects were excellent. Very professional and fit the mood well.
And I absolutely love the style. The characters and buildings look great and are super cute.
At one point it randomly decided to add a curse to me mid-level? I suddenly fell to the bottom of the screen every life and couldn't move upwards, only side to side. On one life it made me move to the bottom right corner and get stuck. Once I died again it just made me go to the bottom again, not the right. Is this a glitch or a randomly chosen curse once below 10 lives?
Super cute game. I really enjoyed it. I did get stuck once. I walked left from the main barn area and somehow got stuck in the trees above the path and couldn't get out. I had to reset.
Very cool idea, and I like the tone chosen. It's pretty difficult to make any stable orbits or systems after adding any new stars. I end up tossing my planets off screen constantly.
This game looks and sounds amazing! Very polished menus and look overall. It's very difficult to control, and the ramp-up in gravity vs distance to the gravitating body makes it hard to predict what will happen, but it was still fun to play and I kept on trying, failure after failure. I also love all the flavor text.
I've also made a gravity-sim game for Pico8. Let me know what you think of it if you get a chance!
Did you even read my comment? 1. I played until the audience was the size of Wyoming. That's not 30 people. That's 500,000 people. 2. What's with this strangely defensive/hostile tone? I said I liked your game, dude. I also asked you how I could better enjoy it, and thanked you. 3. The guy below me had literally the same issues and questions I did. Learn how to take constructive feedback.
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Yeah, orbital mechanics can be a little counter-intuitive at first, but with some practice it can be really fun. Some of the later artifacts might have some upgrades for your ship ;)
It's kinda fun, but it needs to be able to adjust to different screen sizes (resolutions), and don't make the camera lock to the player when they jump. It's jarring. It should move less, or slerp to the position. The art in the beginning is great.
I played it for a bit. This is great. The whole thing looks really polished. Simple yet fun puzzles. I like all the little particles flying around in the background. The music is chill and nice. Only thing missing is a little congratulatory sfx when completing a puzzle.
This is a really lovely, polished looking game. But the Esc key did not work. (playing on an old Macbook Air) There was no way I could bring up the menu, so I couldn't exit the game, or see if there were any sort of graphics options.
