Simple and fun game, I like the controls, great work overall ! This would have been a pretty cool arcade game

Submitted(+1)

Maybe more variety in obstacles would be nice if you were to add onto the game ;)

Submitted(+1)

The Art style is just incredible, but gameplay felt a little bit too boring. May be you can add some objectives or obstacles?

Score: something around 8000

The art and presentation are on point. I like the simplicity of the game, it's easy to grasp and get going, yet still a challenging game. Would love to see it a bit more fleshed out!

I liked this. It eases in, then gets harder and harder. It's a simple game with good controls, and the increasing franticness is the right pace to ease someone in to the controls. Good graphics, fun game play, liked the music. The only thing I disliked was the rocket sound. Just a little grating.

Nice art! I think the difficulty should increase faster, but it's nevertheless a fun game.

why is it that for me there are so many games that dont load

Developer

Are you on Safari? If you are try it using Firefox or Chrome

Submitted

nope im on chrome

Submitted

I have problems with Chrome too in the latest version.... Almost all the games are failing, I recommend using Firefox. Not a big fan of it, but it was able to load all games I've tried so far.

It felt a little easy at first, which is fine! But I felt once it kept going and more black holes spawned it got more and more fun. I felt if that would have happened quicker, it would be even nicer! Over all really nice! Also, it’s a small thing but I would have loved if some stars in the background periodically twinkled, haha.

Developer

I agree that it was too easy at first! I struggled a bit trying to scale the difficulty, I didn't want to kill the player in the first 5 sec by starting too hard but because of this I made it too easy in the beginning instead lol
Thanks for your comment!

Developer

Thanks you for the honest critic! :3

I wanted to make the stars twinkled!!  But I had to much home work to do haha

It can evolve to something cool and challenging as for now its a bit repetitive. But it looks great :)

Hey there, you have that can be way better if you take the challenge from VERY EASY to HARD. 
Thanks for your entry Protosev

Developer

Yeah good idea thx! :P

Great visuals but gameplay is a bit boring

Submitted(+2)

Although the game is very simple, it is addictive.

I really like your page design!

Fun game. My highscore is 11730. :)

I like that the black holes actually suck you in, that's quite cool.

Lovely audio and visuals, the gameplay while simple is fun.

Score: 5670

arnnw thanks!

Loved the Art and Music! It gave the game such an amazing atmosphere. The gameplay was also very fun and got incredibly tense when you start reaching the 5000 mark. 

I saw someone else suggest this, but seeing more variations would've added a nice touch! 

High Store: Around 7500

Very cool graphics and soundtrack, the spacial audio makes everything even better! The gameplay is a bit too simple tho, maybe things can be more interesting by adding some sort of collectible objects. Anyway, good job.

My score: 6774
