Very nice concept execution! A bit overwhelming at first and I think some enemies are not reachable? Or just a noob here lol. But, overall it’s playful and enjoyable, I especially like the planet's asset, looks nice.
Thanks! You're right, the aerial ennemies can sometimes be very hard to reach, to the point where you can only reach them when they're right above the tower. Not ideal but you can still shoot them down!
I really like the atmosphere of the game. The music and assets were put together in a way that was really cool and insanely polished. Unfortunate the trajectory preview wasn't working, but I had fun abusing the pause button.
This game was really good. It took a while to get used to the upgrade system and survive. But the trajectory view on the Windows version really helps!
I really love the visual style. The planet looks so cool! The mechanics are easy to grasp, and there is a good variety in enemies. Personally felt like it was a little difficult, and I couldn't get past the second factory upgrade as I was swarmed by enemies by then. I did play the web version though so perhaps the lack of the trajectory was more of a disadvantage than I thought. Nevertheless, it's pretty fun. :] I also made a space related game! Space games for the win. 😎
Thanks for playing! The web version is pretty tough indeed. You can get used to playing without preview... but that may take a while xD
I'll check out your game as well, sounds fun!
I have a real soft spot for gravity mechanics and damn, those explosions look tight. Great job!
Really fun game! I think the game is a little basic, but if you continue developing this game, you should add new types of features or mechanics to planetary and spatial warfare, and maybe different types of missiles, etc. Overall, really fun game, and I love the graphics on the planet!
I'll have to agree, the game is pretty basic at the moment. I didn't plan the scope accordingly...
But, as you say, I think with more features it can be become a quite interesting game. I will see what I can do about it.
Thank you for playing and for the comment!
Nice idea! My game is also orbit-related, would be cool if you gave it a try :D
Thank you! Will for sure give it a try!
The game is gorgeous! Love the art and the music!
Was a bit laggy and hard to aim properly
Easy to understand the concept and to play!
Nice work overall!
Simple and effective gameplay, very straight-forward in terms of controls, easy to play. Overall nice experience!
I really loved the visuals in this game and the gravity mechanics! I feel like the SFX could be a little more varied and a lot of actions are missing sounds, also it seems that the upgrade are capped as I couldn't get more than 1000 currency. Still, I had a blast playing this game, good job!
Thank you for playing!! Yeah, I agree, the game is lacking in the SFX department: didn't have time for this unfortunately :(
About the currency capped at 1000. I guess, you're playing the Windows version. I could remove it from the Web version just in time but not from the Windows one, sadly. Glad you liked the game anyway!
Really cool game, so pretty! It needs a preview of the shot direction tho, without a preview its too hard to aim…
Thanks! Actually there is a preview... But it's not working on the web version, for some reason :(
On the Windows version, you have it!
Visuals are very pretty, and gameplay is super fun too! At first I was utterly destroyed, but then cheesed pause (you can shoot when paused, it is op) and got unstoppable ^) Very cool game!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, it's a "bug" that I chose to keep in (and I ran out of time to fix it anyway xD).
Glad you could use it to beat the game!
Such a cool game! And the visuals of the solar system are absolutely amazing! I just wish there were more upgrades so I could play more.
Thanks! You're right: more upgrade and more strategy, that was the plan. I didn't have enough time unfortunately...
Happy you liked the visuals of the solar system!
Beautiful game, no bugs, simple UI and mechanics. I really enjoyed! Well done :)
Thank you! (I wish there were no bug haha)
Genuinely had a good time playing it! There is a good difficulty curve; I went from “lucky first” to “gosh that’s hard” to “got it now” in a handful of attempts (something we didn’t nail down in our own submission).
It was also a pleasant audio/visual experience that was a nice change of pace for this kind of tower defense game, congrats!
Thanks! The balancing was a bit tricky, I'm glad you got the hang of it in the end!
The game looks incredibly good and has no business being this fun to play It was a very interesting take on the gravity idea, bit similar to mine. I really hope you get more ratings
I like the spaciousness of the game! Nice animation when you start the game. I think it’s a bit hard but it’s probably just a skill issue on my side hehe
Nice game bro!!!
