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 :)
