Great job! I agree with other comments that a tweak to the control scheme would make a huge difference, but there's a lot to like. I like the various hazard types that made you strategize and prioritize.
this is a neat idea! but it's very difficult. you can't move fast enough to catch all the meteors
I really like your idea on this submission. Clearly it fits the jams theme.
During the development phase, did you try out what it feels like to control the satellites with the keyboard? I feel like the satellites are a bit too difficult to control with the mouse. Mainly because you can't move that fast.
Overall i think this is a pretty solid submission. Good job.
Liked the concept, very fun! That would be a cool game if you keep developing it!
Really like the concept of the game and the implementation is solid! The movement felt just constrained enough to make it difficult but manageable. My only issue was that there were no consequences for just smacking the asteroids with the ship itself rather than using the net.
Cool game. Just feels pretty hard to move the net because you need to drag one by one.
Smart concept! The gameplay is really fun and the art is cool. Would have loved to see a bit more juice when you block a meteor. Great job!
Really cool game! I like the idea of using the ship connection to destroy incoming dangers, the music is also really nice! Good work!
Really fun
movement is hard but thats the point
love the enemy variations
The game looks good but feels incredibly hard to control (at least on desktop, might be more suited for mobile). The mechanic is otherwise original and the overall feel of the game is nice :)
Good job!
I guess we had similar ideas about two ships joined together! I thought it was really original and liked the enemy variety. I found it a bit hard to control since you were having to switch between dragging the two ships. Maybe you could allow the other ship to be pulled along the end of the rope when dragging the other one? Though maybe that would make it too easy.
I've not done much 2D stuff in Unity but I'm curious how the rope was implemented!
That was really fun! Love the idea and the presentation! I found it a bit difficult to click on the ship sometimes, but otherwise, it was great!
Thanks for your rating on my game! Yours is fun and it looks great. I think it would be a great touch screen game but I found the controls just a little too fiddly for the mouse. Would also make a fun couch co-op if two people each had one end.
Thanks for the input! Touchscreen control is an excellent suggestion, I'll have to look into it.
Interesting take on asteroid! Great fun. I've found myself resting the net on the planet which makes things a little too easy!
Thanks for the feedback!
Very cool! I really like the art and main mechanics, though I found myself bumping heads with a lot of objects rather than using the tether at points lol. I do agree that perhaps a buffer zone around each ship to click in might assuage some frustrations.
Seems very well realized for a game jam game though, so kudos to you!
Loved the game, great job! I liked the way you used the theme, also great spritework.
Thank you!
fun little game, although the ships are a little tricky to click for people who have big ogre hands like me
Lol, I'm glad you were able to enjoy our game from your swamp. We definitely should have taken the ogre population into account and made the hitbox bigger. Thanks for playing!
Cool concept - and really slick presentation (I especially liked the motion line).
Thanks, Thomas! I'm glad you enjoyed it
I really like the concept of catching asteroids with a net, i think it fits the theme wonderfully while being quite creative in the implementation of "2 objects linked together cooperating to do something" . honestly, great work, the execution of the concept is quite good too, my only woe being how small the ship hitboxes are and how hard it is to click them in a hurry. I think it would be much more fun if the ship were easier to click on. I have beaten the game and i think its just about the perfect length for how challanging the controls are.
Love the game, the art looks sick, the music is fitting, the concept is cool and quite unique, i love the implementation of different enemies and their trajectories, i think the game would greately benefit from larger ship hitboxes / areas where the click is registred around the ships. and also maybe more levels accompanied with new enemies, maybe some that hang back and prefer to shoot from affar dealing little damage, but forcing you to go after them. also it would be nice if you could earn funds from destroying enemies and spend it on upgrading the length of the net and or the health of the planet, call it planet wide asteroid shielding. ;)
Thanks for all the feedback and ideas!
What a unique game idea! I had fun playing the game even though I wasn't very good at it. It would've helped if the "interaction distance" for selecting the ships was a bit larger so that I didn't need to click right on the small ships to move them. A good game overall and bonus points for the space theme :)
Yeah, the game could definitely benefit from a more lenient hitbox for clicking. Definitely an oversight, but I'm glad you enjoyed it anyways!
