Giant space bird ends a galaxy, more at eleven. Jokes aside lovely game, simple and controls well, music reminds me of Metroid. The planets could use a different delay when exploding, like they turn into something after you are done, then they explode, sometimes I wasn't sure if I was done or not, then it just exploded and I couldn't help but get hit.
Got a 25 score at the end, probably pretty bad, will try for a better one, great game.

Thanks for playing!

Also, thanks for the feedback! If I update the game in the future, I'll try to add some better indication for the explosion. 25 is a reasonable score I think, so you didn't do too bad!

I'm glad you enjoyed!

I really liked the fact that you don't die or restart but simply have to lower your score! I also enjoyed the whole planet drinking concept. The hummingbird is also a great animation to play with! Well done

I did a few runs, my best score was 6.

I have to say a giant hummingbird drinking planets and stars is one of the most badass creature one can think of.

I like the bird animation and the overall consistent artstyle, the music fits and the game is fun to play, the various speeds feel right and attracting the ships onto one corner to drink a planet or the sun on another one is easier said than done, they won't leave you alone that easily.

That's a cool little game, thanks for sharing.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed!

Cute game with a nice main mechanic (drinking the planet juices).

I really enjoyed playing a game where I can't fail, just succeed less well :)

I can definitely see this expand into a bigger game, it somehow reminds me och Katamari Damacy.

Great job!

Man, that's one evil hummingbird sucking away those planets' water! Of course, that's reflected in the consequence of doing so, angering the planet's defenders. Nice work really taking tthe consequences theme into consideration.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I'm glad you appreciated my implementation of the theme!

Art, music, and gameplay are well made! I like the movement after image and planet explosion effects. It would be funny if the hummingbird had a space fishbowl helmet with its beak sticking out.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed!

I can imagine what you're describing and agree that it would be pretty funny, lol

Thanks for playing!

Hey, this game has a really unique concept! The mix of space and nature elements is super creative. I love the pixel art style and how it makes everything look charming. Awesome work!

Awesome surrealistic vibe tied together by a great bgm. A relaxing experience. I wonder what flavor the sun is :)

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed!

Also, that question about the sun is quite interesting, lol! Not really sure how it would taste, though I would imagine it has a bit of a spicy kick

Thanks for playing!

Interesting concept, 'drinking the sun.' I liked how the game fit the bullet hell theme. It would be helpful to have the hit counter displayed on the screen. During the game, I was looking for something like my health, but I understood it when I finished the run. Great game, well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

And thanks for the feedback! I put a number on the bottom left corner indicating how much damage the player has taken, but I guess I should have clearly communicated what that was at some point, which I failed to do. If I make an update, I will try to make that more clear

I'm glad you enjoyed!
