nice game i found a bug if you die you can still score points for a couple seconds

Developer

Thanks you!

Nice presentation and super cool concept! I enjoyed playing the game. The controls felt a bit strange however, I didn't really have the feeling I can control my fate. Maybe make the left mouse button extend and the right mouse button retract the radius? Other than that very good entry.

Developer

Thank you! I actually first had a control setup like you suggest in mind, but then decided to make it playable on mobile. Maybe I could have done a slider that sets the radius more intuitively.

Nice idea, with good realization. I would add more feedback on the buttons though, sometimes I didn't know if I had clicked them or not. Also, I got 3000 points by just clicking "Fast" at the beginning and waiting :D

Developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback!

I agree the buttons should probably be visibly pressed and maybe make a sound when you do so.
Yeah just going fast and staying close is kinda strong, but luckily not the optimal strategy to get the highest scores :D

Pretty good - liked all the feedback and explosions, felt odd to control - I could not get back to the orbit I started off on...?

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I think i forgot to set the start radius to the correct distance ^^'
