meteors slower and smaller and work up to the bigger ones. I thought this was pretty fun, good work, cant wait to see what you do at the next jam!
The game took a few tries to figure out what was happening and what was required. I still don't think I understand it fully since the planet still frowned at me.
I think some instructions would help. I originally thought the sun symbol meant they were too hot and needed water. Then I thought it might mean they were fine. Then I realized after a while it meant they want to be in the light haha.
I think it eventually becomes unmanagable to balance the sleep, sun, and rain cycles.
Honestly I didn't expect you wouldn't have enough rating, your game looks and feels pretty nice. I've seen some other games with similiar idea but your execution is truly the best so far. So good job and have your ratings :)
This is a fun little game, with a catchy chiptune loop!
Very good execution of the theme.
If you have the time, please play and rate my game, I only need a few rates:

Minor points:
- I would've liked a pause function.
- I think the score could've been a bit more visible on Low graphics. While I was playing, there was a dark gray box behind it. I see this is different on the screenshot above, though, and I later discovered this was actually different on Ultra. Maybe making Ultra the default would work, too, as it didn't seem slow at all.
- I liked how the planet actually had some life instead of just being a earth-like ball!
It would be great if you could rate [my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/the-final-world) as well.

The low poly art works well - especially how the light passes by the clouds and the title screen. The music fit the tone really well (hard to go wrong with chiptune). I just wish the audio kept going longer.
