Very interessting concept with easy to under stand controls. It was difficult to know where the shadow was sometimes since you couldn't rotate the camera, so you had to look at the suns to try and do a educated guess where to go, which was quite fun. I really miss some music/SFX but otherwise good entry!

Thanks for your feedback! I totally agree with you that we're missing feedbacks/sound/music!
Good thing you found out about the fact that you need to look at the suns, it is our techniques too to get high score :)

I agree it's a bit hard! We wanted to add more progressivity but we lack of time ^^ Thanks for the feedback!

Very funny and original. And also beautiful. Really enjoyed playing it.

Sometimes I don't really understand why I'm charging and not discharging... Also visual and sound indicators of the situation would be a nice add

And detail: when you play on keyboard, you like to be able to restart the game from keyboard, without taking the mouse to click.

Thank you for your feedback! We would have love to add more feedbacks/visuals/audio to communicate when you're charging or not, it's cool you're confirming that!

The visuals are very good. I love the 3D look with the suns going in front and behind the earth. I managed to get a score of 7 years :)
Maybe it would be nice if the suns starting rotation was random so that the game would be less about memorizing where to go.

Wow a 7 years score is pretty impressive! Most of the people get 3/4 years I think!
If we managed a way to better communicate why/when your charging/discharging, maybe having a random path would be nice indeed!
