The aesthetics, art style and the whole vibe is so cool. Nicely done!

Since you were the first to rate me, you are the one I'll rate first. ;)

You game is very interesting. For me the theme is respected, having this gigantic astronaut trying to save tiny towns on a tiny planet. I like pixel-art, I had a NES in my hands, so I like it

The controls are simple yet hard to use, because when we are upside down, the movements are backwards ! I ended up jetpacking all the time because it seemed faster. Maybe a fuel gauge that would allow to take off only when it's full would prevent this and add more challenge (it's already challenging). Still, the asteroids have a high tendency to spawn on the other side of the planet and to fall very fast, which is frustrating when 2 cities are erased without any chance of salvation.

The sounds blend in very good. They're not too many and well chosen. I was upset when I stomped on the first city, hearing the shouts of the poor citizens. :( A small alarm sound when an asteroid is about to land would not have hurt, IMHO.

The music ... is ... great ! Spatial and with a sense of danger. Really good choice ! Did you get it somewhere or did you compose it yourself ? I love it, I'm ready to listen to it much longer.

Thanks for the game session. See you on the next jam !

Fun mechanics. Very nice entry.

Nice game. Looks great and always fun to play with jetpacks. I would have prefered for the planet to rotate though. Being upside down was not a fun time.

Nice! Very juicy 👍

I'm not sure I was playing it right - I found it a lot of fun stomping on all the cities lol! Awesome aesthetics, use of sound etc! I did find the text in the box on the bottom right very small and too hard to read though, especially compared to the larger mission text.

Yeah! I was worried that maybe the objective wouldnt be clear. You're supposed to basically defend the cities from the asteroids (not destroy them). Thank you for playing!

Really cool concept.  I think it would be cool if the world spun under you and you stayed still.  The controls are kind of confusing when you're upside down. The pixel art was really well done.

Developer

Yeah... I was debating on having the camera rotate with the player or not. It confused me as well 😂

Wow this game is so good and fun. Almost feel like a full flede game

Crushes many cities but that's okay because it's only 3 casualties haha. Cool design and visuals. Got lost in space a lot of times before checking gravity lol

The game looks great, and I really like the idea. I got kicked out of the game a few times for flying too high, but overall it’s a great piece of work

that was great fun I really liked the addition of being able to smash the cities, it took a while to get the hang of it but it was really fun!

Developer

Thank you so much, it means a lot!

I like the look of this game, and it's pretty funny, especially accidentally smashing the cities you are supposed to be helping.

Developer

Haha! Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

Nice Game, tooks me a bit to work out what I was supposed to do. There wasnt much info on your page. I found it hard to get to the asteroids in time. Well done.

Submitted

I'm not sure why, but I was unable to move or interact. I'm on Chrome, if that helps! Art and music was great through!

Developer (1 edit)

Oh no! Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: This might be because you didnt click inside the game window? Maybe :c
