Neat idea. It took me a while to figure out that you could jump to other planets, but I really like how there were unique powerups tied to each one. Since I see it mentioned in several comments: my suggestion for the controls would be to not have a dedicated fire button, but use the arrows for firing. Since you already have A/D mapped for movement, you could use the arrows to shoot left or right (similar to how a twin stick shooter might work). Keep it up!

Developer

Thank you!!! Never really thought of that but we'll definitely keep in mind in the future :D

Great idea! My highscore was 350, but I think I can do better.

The movement took some getting used to.

Nice idea! The player movement was a little difficult for me, but for the rest really nice idea :D

Developer

That's certainly something we'd want to improve on for the future. Thank you for the feedback :-)

Lovely art style and bloom effects. I didn't know if I was defending my planet or just trying to live on the last remaining planet. All in all it was a lot of fun and  the movement was very slick :)

Developer

The bloom took a while to get right but it paid off,  glad you enjoyed it!

The art style is awesome!  I found it a bit tricky to control the player but I think the concept is really great and fits the theme well :)

Developer

Our lead artist is very happy to hear that. Thank you so much :D

Nice implementation of the theme. I had some difficult to move the player.. but the idea is nice.. good job.

Developer
