Nice game!

Submitted

Great arcade game! A nice original idea. However, I don't like having to scroll around looking for asteroids. Doing that takes me away from looking at the planet I'm protecting, which I do not prefer. But a good idea.

Submitted

The idea is great looks like a very polished game and that you know what you are doing. The artwork is amazing! Good job!

Submitted

Cool take on gravitational orbits, needing to get asteroids at a variety of orbits in order to protect against attackers at different ranges was fun. I also like the visual style, it was very readable even when there's a lot going on.

I think adding WASD or arrow keys for camera controls would help a lot, it felt a little clunky having to move my mouse around to find asteroids and then grab them.

Submitted

I thought the art style and UI matched really nicely 😁. I also liked the music and audio! Overall, I thought it was a nice use of the theme loops and was a fun and challenging game. 

Submitted

Ok, that was fun even though I sucked at it!  Great job!

It felt like witnessing a planetary defense battle—super interesting!
Great job!

Interesting concept!
I'd love to have more controlability with the orbit of the rocks. It felt a bit random before I figured out you could just aim for the ships with the asteroids without them orbiting! Then it started to click!

Very creative!

I like the audio, concept and the core gameplay. Good implementation of the loop too! I saw myself away from the planet. I wish I could see what's happening at my planet or get there with a click. 

Submitted

Simple and interesting game! The only thing I’d change is the camera movement , like sometimes I got a bit lost. Maybe click-and-drag would feel a bit more intuitive? Just some feedback.

nice game overall :)

Submitted

Very fun game, satisfying to play, the art is also really nice!

Submitted

The gameplay is very unique and relevant, I enjoyed!

Good game that fits the theme well! It's fun to statergize how to use the astroids, and the fact you can destroy your own astroids is a nice Risk&Reward system. I think the difficulty needs to ramp up over time though, because I survied over 20 minutes with little to no damage.

Thanks! That's very good feedback.

I just learned "Asteroids good! Satellites bad!". That was fun to play. Sound effects, design and controls all worked well to make it satisfying. Final score time thing was a little funky. Would have loved to earn points or seen a timer on screen.  Great job overall!

Submitted

Fun game, cool concept.

Submitted

vary fun, i enjoyed the orbit physics

Nice concept to continue on! Creative it was! criticism would me the panning controls. Would like to use keyboard for that.

Simple, fun and unique. Well done! Would have liked to have the option to move the camera with the keyboard. Art looks phenomenal and I liked the music
