This game was sooo cooool !\r\rIt's very innovative and it feels very polished. It "felt" very good just spinning the ball around like an idiot. Congratulations on the mechanics !\r\rThe graphics are simple, but not ugly. Pleasant "trace" visual effect. Maybe you could have either filled or removed the inside of the grey circle, the end of the rubber-band-like segment is displayed and it's not perfect (it's a details, because there isn't any big reproachable problem).\r\rMaybe losing is a little bit too brutal ? Just showing a "fake" elasticity could have help (you show 100% force when you're actually spinning at 90%). It would make the snapping feel less random.\r\rGood thing the next spawning locations are shown. Good "after-death" "animation" (the star bouncing feels good, it lowers your rage)\r\rSo simple but (very) pleasant game : good job ! It might be simple, but since I played for so long it means you have done your work !"},{"author_name":"LeReveur","author_uid":"7170","time":"May 6, 2016 @ 1:20pm","epoch":1462540500,"text":"It needs dexterity and attention to get a lot of points, it was fun to play and challenging, good job. :)"}],"images":["ld35\/5662-b20754ba60a3e8cec4a1070642f69fa2.jpg","ld35\/5662-6f25f158058b956f1d444fb128b21322.jpg","ld35\/5662-c5a226de7a94b288d57769f0a3803bdd.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/infinite-ramble.com\/content\/jsgames\/stellar\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/dwhiffing\/stellar-pendulum","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"2551","g_author":"5662","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"2482","g_title":"Stellar Pendulum","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"289","g_commentcount":"17","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/5662-shot0-1460942158.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/5662-shot1-1460940817.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/5662-shot2-1460940817.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Use the mouse to fling your star into other stars.
