very very nice game ! GOOD JOB <3

love the music in this one! very nice atmosphere! I was struggling to find the best jump point to the last planets I think and I would have liked a marker on my screen that points me to the next pole thing that I need to press E on. Well done though!

and the music person loves you ❤️

sound tracks and art styles are just my taste. really really love them. but mouse sensitivity is a little too high for me so it's pretty much unplayable for me :(

Nice core gameplay loop! Very fun and good mechanics. As has been stated before in the comments, I did think that the enemies were a bit too easy though but overall great job!

Fun vibes in this one and ran well. I liked it but I had a couple small gripes:

  • It was maybe a little easy. Enemies didn't seem to pose much of a threat and were pretty slow
  • The mario galaxy style planet maps are really fun and flavourful but a bit of a nightmare to orient yourself on. There weren't enough landmarks other than the lasers to actually know where I was going so finding the lasers was a bit annoying. So much so that:
  • I didn't actually realise that I had left a planet before it was completed. The first desert planet still had a laser that I must have missed somewhere because I didn't realise until the next planet that it should have gone all brown and shooting a red beam when it was done. I carried on and got to the final planet but couldn't figure out a way to get back onto the previous planets so I think I was soft locked

Wow, thanks for all those insights man !

For the softlock thing, it's kinda by design, but by time constraints, we could not put a "You missed a pillar, goodbye sun" screen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for playing, really appreciate it !

Nice game, excellent global feeling, I liked it!

Small thing though: I didn't get if the goal was to shoot enemies, activate the towers, reach the final planet, or simply if it is an endless game.

Really fun game, loved it. Easy to understand and play. So refreshing from playing complicated jam games. Loved it. would appreciate an effort if you could look into my game too.

Great quick fun! Really loved the art style and the enemies are interesting! Shooting the enemies was fun. It was a bit confusing to find the planets, I think a little indicator towards the nearest planet would have helped after you completed the planet you are on.

Really fun game!

It makes me a little dizzy to play, but it's really fun. XD

The music and artwork are great. 

It runs quite smoothly on the web.

Doesn't adequately fit the theme but is fun nonetheless!

I REALLY enjoyed this. Very well executed idea that felt great from start to finish.

I very like the artstyle and gameplay. Could be a bit harder tho. Sad that you didn’t fit the theme properly besides of orbit loop.

Great game! Loved the outer wilds style little planets. Music and SFX were great! I missed one of the pillars on an earlier planet and ended up not being able to get back but other than that it worked really well

So cool the way you combine the 2D with 3D and the gameplay. I miss some indicator of how many pilars i activated on each planet because i have a goldfish memory, but the game is great :).

I was confused how to hop planets at first but once it clicked it was a lot of fun

I love the art for this game. The overall vibe is amazing. Great work!
