Very good job ! And it takes some mastery, but you manage to do this in pico8 only with this little part of code ???

Great stuff! I really like the concept and it's funny how a simple yet fun idea is seemingly more complex to make. Really good stuff congrats! :)

Such a great, juicy game! Love Pico-8 games because of the movement of the pixels. Great Job! :3

when the stars appear at the top left is the hardest. 

the physics of the ball bouncing move is great.

Comments:

This is an enormously well-optimised game! I find it fascinating that PICO-8 developers can create things with such short and elegant source code. This game is a simple physics-based collect-a-thon with a time limit. I found the background showing the elapsed time as a pie chart was quite cool. The game plays well and the physics feel good, bouncing off the edges to build momentum with the dash.

Feedback:

Not much you can make better about a small game like this! I found some of the star spawn points on the top half of the circle quite difficult to reach, breaking the momentum of the game a little.

Thanks for your comment! I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's sort of a prototype for an idea I've been wanting to make for a while, and now I'm just more interested. I've gotten a couple people saying the top ones are hard, which I like because it gives it a natural difficulty curve, but maybe it could be tuned a bit.

Thanks for playing!
