This was a really interesting concept! I liked the puzzle dynamic of trying to figure out which of your color guns was going to shoot next, and how the meteors came from different angles so you were constantly being forced to move around! Really smart design. It was hard to tell how I was taking damage when the meteors did hit, and it would be cool to see that in a clearer way post-Jam! Maybe the orbs could show visible damage as they were hit. I enjoyed playing this a lot, and hope you will continue working on it post jam! Good job.

I really liked this, simple but engaging.. Could see myself playing this for hours.

One small change i'd personally make would be to increase the rotation speed of the weapons so you can react a bit quicker as the number of asteroids jump up.  Really good take on the theme and quite fun to play.

thanks for playing and I appreciate the feedback!

Yeah it was hard to balance the speed versus the ability to do small precise movements but I could definitely fine tuned it more (maybe some amount of acceleration hmmmm)

After a few tries it all made sense, and I liked it!

I am glad you liked it :)

I liked it, probably would need some time to get used to the strategy and all, but pretty cool game overall :D

Developer

Thanks for the nice words and playing my game :)

A bit weird since you have three autonomous canons, but I get it.

Developer

Yeah there where some additional mechanics tied to that but reality came in the way of implementation xD.


Thanks for playing!
