Compact but fun game! It took me a while to figure out what's happening, but once I understood it, I still sucked at the game. LOL 

I can't help but keep playing though. Adding the temperature-management was a great way to keep things frantic.

It's very repetitive but I'm glad you put some effort into it.

Very smooth!  I had to play a bunch of times to get up to 59 stars.  It was hard at first but then you get into a flow.  Very well done!

Very fun game, certainly got me in that one more turn mood. I found it to be a bit difficult at first, the alien always seemed to spawn too close to me to make any progress but after a few turns it sorted it self out.

I just reviewed your game thanks for stopping by the stream! https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission I thought that it had a good arcadey feel if a bit on the difficult side.

i liked it, just need a button on keyboard to start the game with out touch the mouse, and to avoid the monster to spawn on the side of the ship

Very fun and addictive!

Simple yet addictive gameplay loop! Micromanaging your temperature while dealing with the alien is incredibly fun. The graphics were really and yet made good use of the palate, awesome game!

It's something I could see being in a Wario-Ware game as is.  Cool concept.  I like the temperature resource balancing mechanic (resource mechanics are my favorite part to any game and you chose well I think).  It was a bit too fast for my reaction time, haha.  Well done!

I like the concept, it is quite arcadey and the overall experience is good! Going around the planet and collecting stars is enjoyable, and making it a score-based game is a brilliant idea for a game jam with such a short dev time 😁

However, I don't quite see how the theme fits in this game, other than being in the moon and collecting stars

Thank you very much for playing and for the feedback. I didn't quite hit the theme, you're right, but my thinking was that you have to create your own day /night cycle by going between the day and night sides of the moon to regulate your temperature :)
