A interesting game with some amusing enemies. The graphics and sound effects were pretty good.
The movement was very confusing at first but I did get the hang of it in the end.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Good tridimensional objects as background. I liked the ambient music and the visual art inserted.

I had some difficulties to kill the different enemies, but I really loved how the arena is a kind of space flipper.

Love the art style! The controls and concept took awhile for me to get a hang of- Love that you can send bullets around the blackholes!

Pretty fun game to play! The controls were a bit difficult, but not too hard after awhile. The sound effects could use some work. Love the visuals! The flying sharks are the best

The defining things here were the graphics and the names/types of enemies - Spacetopus?!

The controls and ways of damaging enemies were not obvious, and I mostly seemed to die over and over again. Still, slingshotting around black holes is pretty cool, and the graphics reminded me of Super Mario Galaxy somewhat.

You might want to make the controls and gameplay a little more obvious in a post-jam release, should you decide to expand on it.
