The presentation of the game is so neat! :o Graphics and music are pretty cool. It was funny, even if it took me time to understand how it works. The tutorial didn’t help me much, haha. But it’s okay when we get how we can play this game! Overall, it was a nice game! Thank you for this moment!
Thank you so very much for playing it and thanks for the kind words! Teaching players is no easy task, but we’ll keep getting better at it ;)
Took me a while to understand that the astronauts color has to match the planet but after that, its very entertaining
cheers!
First of all art style and sound effects are so good and Gameplay is also super catchy . so thumbs up from me :)
thanks a lot! always happy to see somebody enjoy our work! :)
Nice idea! I had a bit of trouble understanding the mechanic, but with a little bit more polish it could turn into a great puzzle game!
By the way, the explosion animation is so satisfying!
thank you! with more time there would have been a more conclusive tutorial ;) happy you like the bang! xD
This game looks incredible. I adore this style of art and I think it worked excellently for your game idea! With a bit more of a smooth movement system, I could spend hours playing this! Great work, Sun Smasher team!
Thank you so much, I'm happy you had a good time with it. There is always room for improvement and tweaking so feedback is always appreciated. :)
The game looks awesome and feels great to play, well done!
Thanks for playing our game, I'm happy you enjoyed it so much.
awesome game, it was fun to play! and i totally love the art and the colour palette!
Thank you so much for playing our game, happy you had fun with it and enjoyed the art so much. I'll lead forward your compliment to the team :)
Great game! Took a while to get the hang of it but it was fun when I did.
Thanks for leaving your feedback, I see how it is a little hard to figure out the game at first but glad you still had a good time with it.
really really cool art. Love the itch page. Fun game.
Thank you so much for giving our game a try. I'll lead forward your compliment to our artist and vfx magician, glad you had a great time playing.
Hello! Excellent presentation, well done!
Hi and thanks for playing our game. Happy you enjoyed it and thanks for your feedback.
I really like this one! The astronauts are cute, the sound effects are funny, and the gameplay feels very smooth. Would love to see more!
Thank you so much for playing our game. The team did an amazing job bringing this project to life so your feedback means a lot :) Happy you had a good time with it.
This is indeed a fun physics game.
Thank you for taking the time and try it, glad you liked it :)
This is a really polished entry, love the presentation and the gameplay is a good time, great job!
Thank you so much, hearing it's a polished entry is the best compliment one could wish for. Happy you enjoyed it so much :)
I really love the art and over all this is a unique cool puzzle game!
Thank you so much for taking the time and playing our game. Happy you enjoyed it so much :)
The sound effects didn't work for me, but I assume they're there since there was the volume controller and all. Overall I would critique the lack of reaction from the game when you latch onto different planets, as well as the repetitiveness of the level design/lack of planet variation
I'm sorry the sound effects didn't work for you which might explain why it was a little hard to play the game since we have a variety of acoustic feedback. We have a variety of 12 different planets and 3 suns, but to make it feel less repetitive it might be better to spread them across several levels. However since not everyone will play multiple levels for this jam I decided to show off as many of them as possible right away. I'm sorry if you didn't like the game but still thanks for playing it.
I really enjoyed this game was funny, I liked the 3rd level the most. I think this game has a lot of potential but also fun as it is. Especially the smashing into the sun part since its pretty random, and i like that it has an old school feeling to it :)
Thank you very much for playing the game. The 3. level was the biggest challenge to design for me, so I'm glad the work paid off. :D
Great presentation and some nice little level design tricks. The shields around the sun and the colour matching between the astronauts and the planets was a bit unintuitive at first, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly.
Also, shout out for the best game page I've seen so far.
Thank you very much for playing our game. I'm happy you enjoyed the level design even it was a little unintuitive at first. Also I send forward your compliment about the page to our artist :)
A lot of great stuff here.
The music and sfx can get to be a lot, and sometimes I struggle to know which Astro I'm shooting (and what's going on)
Great job overall!
Thank you very much. There surely is some more fine-tuning possible, especially communicating which astronaut will be next inline but I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
It is fun. It is beautiful. Really enjoyed the game. :O
Thank you very much, I'm happy you enjoyed it so much.
Really nice art work, the sun exploding was well done -- the entire page looks really nice too.
Maybe I just didn't get hang of the mechanic, but I think a little more "juiciness" in the controls can really improve the game. For example, maybe holding the mouse button down causes the rope to go farther, or maybe moving the mouse can affect the swinging.
In any case, well done!
Thank you for playing the game and leaving a comment. Your suggested features would be a really nice addition to expand the game :)
