Very smooth game. I like the relaxing background music. The game is so simple I could play it instantly, which I love. The game was very easy however, I just sat there blasting asteroids for minutes. A difficulty curve is needed.

Very well done! Loved the music, and the little animation and sound the gun makes. Felt great. Nice color mechanic as well. Couple of things, 1 the status bars were a bit offscreen for me (2560x1600 resolution..not very common). Also, it would be nice for escape or something allow you to quit. Nice work!

@superunknown ohhhh I should have tested in another resolution! Thank you for the feedback, I will do my best to be careful about those aspects in the future (pun intended with aspects lol)

cool! i just wish there was a bit more involvement because it gets a bit too easy and repetetive after a while. loved the music and sound and the graphics were really nice. a background would have added to the mood too. good job!

Nice little game! Amazing music, good art and a really satisfying fire animation. The aiming sensitivity was just slightly too high for me though.

I love this game! I like the concept overall. I was cool that you can interact with the "cannon" in the main menu. The only problem i have is that it dosen't really fit the theme

I like that you can even survive without shooting and therefore technically play the game only with the mouse.
Is the color important? I think I received more an extra star when I used the opposite color, but am not sure.

Congratulations for this game !
Nice audio and graphics but lacks mechanisms and difficulty.

Could be more difficult indeed. Did I understand correctly that you need to fill the purple bar to heal the planet and get firerate upgrades?

My mind was blown when I realized that you could hold Z to shoot. Maybe you could write "Hold Z" instead of "z" in the main menu. Also think of poor QWERTZ-keyboard users when setting up controls.

Nice try to try to discourage users from quitting by requiring 4 bullets to quit, but only 1 to start the game :D

I'll admit I was initially skeptical about the mouse button movement controls but I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it is. Nice visuals (cannon animation is great), pleasant music, and a well executed concept. Also ties in well with the theme. I think it's a bit too easy - perhaps lowering the fire rate could make it a bit more challenging? Nice job on this it's fun!

The mouse buttons should have been inverted, it would have made more sense imo

But i absolutely love the music and how the sound effects blend with it
also the game looks really nice
5 stars for mood, graphics and music :heart:

Cool game with great visuals and audio! At the beginning I was looping around and accidentally shot on Quit instead of Start XD
