This is such a cool game play, you should make it available for mobile! Keep the good work.

Developer

Much appreciated, thank you.

That would make a great mobile game, it was fun, looked and sounded great, and most of all it had me wanted to try one more round.

Thanks for taking the time to play and for leaving such an encouraging comment!

I like your game idea and concept . dont give up to develope

Developer

Thank you, I was influenced by simple games like Flappy Bird because I didn’t have much time to work on them. I don’t know if I’ll continue development right away, but if I have time again I’ll add some improvements and content to have more procedural variety. ^^

Cool idea! only version I could get more than 1 or two planets in was the straight line of planets. everything else seemed too unpredictable. With a little level design tweaking, I could see this as a mobile game.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you, that’s very kind of you.

Regarding the moving planets, which can be unpredictable, I think it would be helpful to show their positions visually. This way, players can better anticipate when they’re entering an area with moving planets and avoid rushing into one that suddenly appears. Perhaps a mini-map with markers indicating potential hazards could also work. I’ll look into updating these features when I have time.

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share, they could be very helpful!

Hmmm.. I think that’s probably the way to go, some sort of visual indicator.

Maybe little HUD icons where nearby obstacles will intersect the edge of the screen would work. Similar to how nearby, but offscreen POI’s are displayed in a lot of games. They could change sizes depending on how soon they will show up on screen. That way you can adjust your speed to help navigate the upcoming encounter.

Not sure how helpful that would be, but maybe an idea to consider.

well that took me a few tries to understand xD

is kind of soothing but sometimes there is just nothing you can do (except crash)^^

Developer

Yes, sometimes, I guess you need to wait for a certain moment to avoid crashing. However, if you have any ideas for solving this aspect, please share them, especially for those who don’t want to wait.

At the moment, the only idea I can think of is based on Mario’s principle with the star: the ship would become temporarily indestructible and could thus destroy the planet. But I’m not sure about this solution yet.

Cool little game. Controls are little hard to get used to, at least for me.

Developer

My advice is to go slowly and only then go fast. It’s voluntarily simple to understand, but difficult to master.

Submitted(+1)

This a real cool mobile experience. Thank you for sharing. You definitely need to publish it. 

Developer

Thank you. I don’t know if I would, but I appreciate the compliment.

Developer

Thanks

Nice job. The game looks good and is addictively difficult.

Developer

I’m happy you like it! The planet graphics are by Kenney, but I designed the rest myself. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Actually quite hard to get good at and strangely addictive. Nice game
