All in all it's a very nice game, with awesome explosion effects, juicy sounds and a cool color palette :) !! Well done ! However it was VERY difficult for me to play properly because of the WASD controls (I have a AZER keyboard), just a shame you didn't have to time to implement controls for both types of keyboards. But other than that, really nice :) !

great work! the bullet effect around the planet was very nice, even if it didn't seem to hit the enemies very often :) i mostly ended up just running up to stuff and shooting at my own feet, more or less. Not sure if that's user error or not :)

Visually looks awesome, great job with that! And the sounds are amazing, though it would be nice if you varied them a little bit as it gets pretty repetitive. I love the idea, too, really neat take on the theme.
I really don't think the controls are particularly intuitive, which is a shame. I'm also on a trackpad so scrolling was a pain :sweat_smile:

All in all it was a good game, I'll play it again when I'm on my home PC but good job :grin:

Great work. I love the concept, the music, and the graphics. With a few tweeks this game has potential

Nice Gravity effect, nice explosion effects, nice firing sounds, Nice Music, A little hard, but I am sure it can be easy as you play more. I really like it, Good Job.

I like the robot player. Reminds me of wheatley from Portal. Graphics generally looks cool.
Sounds are cool to.
Planet shrinks too fast for my liking. It takes a while to get used to the controls. Feels like a game built for an gamepad. Gr8 entry though.

like the game so far. I think you finish the game even more by creating a high score.
power-ups would also work in this game as well.
furthermore, I like the music that you have created and the game matches the theme as well and the overall idea.

Super great graphics and audio! The gameplay is interesting. I really enjoy the game experience.

However you should change the key controls. When I press ctrl + w , the browser tab is closed :(

Only distance counter on the top-left corner on the black screen, background music, and nothing more. After some time "you failed" popup window shown.

Awesome game! Great use of screenshake, sound effects were very satisfying and bassy. Music is very catchy as well. Great work! :)
