How does your game fit the theme?
You orbit around the sun in a loop, dodging and destroying meteors with your arsenal. Get upgrades as time goes on (there's only 2 sorry) There's also parry hitstops, yeah that's pretty much it.

Awesome idea! The tree punch felt very satisfying haha. Would love to see more upgrades/levels for this!
Great sound and concept!
Love the concept! Hitting the meteor with tree is really cool, great sound/visuals!
Cool concept! Had fun punching meteors with trees.
Interesting concept!
Cool concept and great effects!
Smooth mechanics, my favorite part of the game , the sun balls were a littl confusing which made it hard to dodge but fantastic job either way , amazingly done
This is a super cool concept for a game! The tree-parry was cool as :)
It was a little tricky to dodge the sun fire balls though, but that's a small things.
The music you chose fit really well too, great work!
very unique gameplay I love it that the sun actually fires too!
Took me a while to realize that you're just a planet chilling and dodging meteors rather than something with a clear goal. I really like the parry honestly, and the flamethrower does caught me lacking sometimes for not bothering much to that :))
One thing I find this game is missing, is that orbiting in a loop is not something crucial, or like one of the core thing of this game. You could just stand still and do a few things. Maybe find a way to truly motivate players to orbit in a loop?
Anyways, still a good submission. Well done!
Cute game with some nice interaction between hitting parries and catching the meteors on fire. Could use a little help with the directions, I felt a little confused on my objective. But overall, well done! I had fun playing it :)
Loved hitting burned asteroids into others, the explosion was very satisfying! First time seeing scratch, and its quite polished for it!
Cool game, love the parry mechanic and the planet orbiting theme. Until now i can't fully understand the objetive, but overall it is a really good work!
Pros: Good music Ideas are good I liked the justification for the powers Cons: I didn’t understand what my objective was The fire was not fast enough, and I could just outrun it. I could just keep orbiting the planet and not use the main mechanics
I would say to focus on the parry mechanic, it was the best part. Plus, all the effects you added added juice to the game. Keep up the good work
thank you for the feedback! this was my first game jam so it was mainly just a learning experience but yeah, fair. i put very little effort into the main menu and instructions, and the fire was supposed to punish players for not bothering to detroy the meteors and just zoom around the planet, however i had no playtesters and it was mainly just an afterthought. anyways this was very helpful so thanks!
The concept is so cool!
