End life plan
The game doesn't need any online services for it to work. I also plan to make my own portfolio website with my games on it.

Transparency note
The work on this project started on 16.07.25 in the evening. It uses ready free assets for music and a 3D model for spinner. No AI was used in the production. Only the website thumbnail was partially AI generated.

This game has a simple yet enjoyable concept and is fun to play. I would have liked more obstacles or enemies, though.

Really fun game! Was the world randomly generated or was it all planned out? I feel like this also work better in a smaller space. Also, how many stars are there, or is it infinite? Great job overall!

Objects are randomly placed every new round and stars respawn in a different place each time you collect one. The reason why the map is somewhat big is because I wanted to give players space to bounce around. Originally  I even planned for the map to be infinite with culling but I scraped that due to lack of time.

Cool game, graphics look nice, very retro haha, and the movement felt very smooth, although it was awkward when the mouse ended up being behind your lauch direction and it slowed you down, I wanted to go faster!! I think it would make for a nice isometric platformer or something like that, if you ever wanted to continue working on this, but great game!

Very nice take on the theme, really creative, feels and plays and looks really nice.
At a certain point I just enjoyed spinning around without even collecting the score stars XD.
Restart button was bugged a bit for me, it reloaded the level but the "Game Over" UI kept on appearing, had to click a couple of times to get it running.

Yeah sadly I'm aware of the bug :/. There's a new build with a fix already waiting for the jam to finish so I can update it on the site. :D

It wasn't easy at first, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it.  I like the concept of the game. Quite nice to play - it's addictive. You shouldn't give up on this project. It has plenty of potential development opportunities with diverse, increasingly difficult levels. And the music is superbly chosen – it creates a great atmosphere.

Fun game, my feedback is that you should lighten the effect of the mouse, it feels like it takes away a section of the physics aspect of the game, but still, good game! :D
