Nice music! It's a neat little game, I made it to wave 19. I have to say that I didn't find a use for the moon shield, as everything seems to be moving too quickly to use it well. The moon shot ability is situational at best, as you only need to point the moon in the direction of the enemy and they'll slam into it. It only comes in useful if they're just out of reach and there's another enemy on the screen.

All in all, a decent entry. Had fun :)

I like your aesthetic and your take on the theme... literally using the moon as something you shoot. Was easy to understand and play and I also liked the music. Nice job!

I like the visual facts where the Earth was getting damaged every time the enemy ran into it, overall good game.

Heh- that was fun. Made it to 14 waves before, alas, the earth was doomed. Was a cool mechanic; and the enemies were oddly cute :D

17 waves. Simple yet genius game. The sound pushes me to defend further. Those little green flappy things are so mean. Graphics overall are cool and fit the entire theme very well. Also the introduction story is great. Not too much and not too short. Really cool game ;)

Survived 10 waves. Fun game! Maybe a bit more movement from the center of the screen where the enemies spawn from would be nice. Music was really catchy as well. Good job.

This doesn't fit on my screen.

It's pretty fun, interesting mechanics. It's getting somewhat repetitive after a while though.

Gameplay: I liked how the moon always killed the enemies not just when you attacked or shielded. I know you've heard this a lot but upgrades/unlockables (something to add health and maybe another attack/defense) would help a lot.

Graphics: I liked the planet and the enemy art. The art all fit with the game.

Audio: The music and SFX were good.

Innovation: There weren't many games with mechanics like this.

Theme:  You can shoot the Moon, so that's kind of a moonshot.

Overall: Good game! Could use more work post-jam.

Can you try (and review) my game?

the graphics were blinding and it would be cool if the farther you got you unlocked power ups of some sort but overall it was fun

Cool start for a really well done game!

Fun game, loved the wave system as with my game haha. Some tips, having more control over the character (maybe with a binary star system) could be a lot of fun. Having upgrades and new levels would really add the game's design.

I got to wave 29, I liked some of the strategy of shooting them moon and using shield as an AOE attack. Some combos like that for upgrades would be a lot of fun!

This was an interesting take on the theme, literally. We are actually shooting the moon. I like it. I was also able to make a shield shoot combo, which was cool.

One point I think could make the game easier, is to have more (white) space on the top and bottom part of the game. We don’t see enemies that come from above/below when we are on the top/bottom part of the screen.

It is difficult to do everything within a month. I think you have done a good job with the current time limit. Cheers~

Hey this game was really well done! Sometimes the enemies did spawn a bit unfair but it has really enjoyable gameplay! Please find my video review below:

28:15 Moonshot

Very good arcade! Instead of moonshot, I think “Moonpunch” is more suitable as a name haha since I feel like I’m punching those monsters!! Superb!

Solid game and fits the theme really well. You executed everything you set out to do. A simple mechanic, minimal UI, and easy to distinguish visuals. Great work! Maybe the only improvement that can be made are small incremental adjustments to balance it a tiny bit better. I did feel like the moon shooting distance was a bit short. 

Nice game!

I'm on German keyboard layout, so Z and Y are swapped for me. Adding same functionality to Y as Z would be nice :) But it still worked fine.

The moon shooting distance felt a bit too short, I'd like to see how the duration of pressing the shoot button makes the moon travel further.

good fun game and well made

Love the concept and the graphics! I found myself wanting to be able to shoot the moon farther. I think a little "juice" on enemy deaths would go a long way as well.

Fun to play. Shooting the moon felt nice. Was kinda hard with a touch pad. But that is on me for playing with one I think. 

Nice twist in the theme and the tower defense genre, the graphics and music are nice, don't know how this could be extended, but you're onto something. Good work!
