How does your game fit the theme?
By destroying asteroids and collecting their materials to grow your planet you are joining them together. By holding the space bar to keep your planet joined together. Lastly by forcing you to hold the space bar, physically joining you and your computer.

A great take on the theme, that works really well! For some reason, after I played a couple of rounds the letter bullets stopped destroying the asteroids, even when it was the correct letter. Did I miss something or is this a glitch. Anyway, really great concept and amazing visuals and sound!
Interesting concept. I don't think it fits the theme very well, but it's very pretty and fun to play!
twister but for the fingies, fun game!!
Interesting idea and well implemented, Also I liked the art. good job
I really like this game! Great idea and amazing realization! At some point it becomes complicated! You have to tell me how to press the space bar, "O" and "Z", and shoot using the game at the same time.. I only have two hands hahahaha!
Very interesting mechanic. It was sometimes a bit hard to press all the keys needed to kill a asteroids and it was a bit slow in the beginning. But overall a great game!
Super-Interesting! Most unique (and funnest) concept I've seen! I got the ALTF4 and pressed it before I had time to think, haha. The graphics and music are also amazing!
I think it's a little undemanding/repetitive at the start. If there were some very moving slow, but just a lot of them, it could be a better difficulty ramp?
It also took me a second to understand what the game wanted me to do, because the buttons aren't very clear when they light up on screen.
REALLY well done though!
this is a solid game
Very interesting! it felt like I was playing twister with my fingers trying to keep my planet together! The only issue i had was when numbers were introduced, I couldn't tell the difference between 6 and G. not sure If a colour differentiation may be helpful. Great work!
I like your game, good job.
Very cool mechanic, when the double letters come stuff is about to get crazy! Also nice art! :) I liked it a lot :)
This is such a cool game! it took me a bit to realize that I had to keep holding space, but once I did I had so much fun with it! You guys did a great job with the color pallet and the music really gives that space vibe. good work!
Thank you so much for playing and we are glad you enjoyed!
Cool mechanic! Feels like playing Twister with my fingers. Had a lot of fun with this one :)
It's really good arcade game! One of bug(?) that happened to me is when there's PgUp meteor, my screen suddenly go to top haha. Overall, I'm enjoying it
Oh dont worry that was part of the fun! We also hid an alt tab and alt f4 asteroid in there just to mess with people :)
It's a very clever idea that reminds me of Girp by Bennet Foddy. Trying to focus on so many things at once was a fun challenge that I really appreciated. The only negative is that how you play isn't that obvious at first. Well done all around.
I think, with a bit of tweaking, that this could become an awesome game to teach people how to type, I'm serious, lots of potential and it would be so much cooler than the way I learnt by typing words in text program that tells you when you made a mistake.
Seriously, I think this has a huge potential beyond the jam!
Now for the jam, a very good looking game, the music is relaxing which is nice and the theme is interpreted quite literally by forcing you to hold the spacebar, very interesting and well done!
We were actually thinking of going back to this after the jam and looking for a way to make it more educational. The typing programs I had growing up were awful as well.
Fun game! Makes me stretch my hand in times to reach that dreaded I character ... so far away! Very nice 8bit atmosphere, the graphics are really good. I like that I have to physically join something instead of linking bullets/characters. This way the game happens both in the machine and the real world, I think that is a truly unique approach.
Thank you! We tried quite hard to push that human/computer interface idea to the forefront and are glad it worked!
Twister for your hands is right. Good job with the theme and the presentation
Very unique concept! Itch won't let me upload the screenshot for whatever reason, but I got 11,200 points. I was playing Twister with my own fingers a couple of times there...
Hi SuperSalteGames!
Wow! This game was so tough! I think the tagline really sells it well - twister for your fingers. I think the concept of putting it in space and then defending a planet from meteorites is a pretty cool artistic setting!
I would suggest easing the player in to the difficulty a little bit more slowly. Although it may seem like a small jump up to go to 2 keys, I was utterly frozen when I saw my first LM combo. Maybe force the RNG to spawn a VB combo or something similar to build their confidence, and then hit them with the left-hand-to-right-side-of-keyboard power move.
Overall a good concept! I like how you mentioned you are physically joined to your computer throughout the game. Very novel!
Best,

Hey Brandon! Thank you so much for the feedback and we are super glad you enjoyed it! Difficulty was very hard to get right and I agree it gets a bit hard a bit fast. I like the idea of making some easier double asteroids come first, in a next build ill add a new difficulty type!
