The VO was fantastic, definitely had me sticking around.
Launching meteors past the sun and out of the system was hilarious and I enjoyed that a lot.
Game was really hard and I didn't know how to control the meteors well, but it was still fun to muck around with so I didn't really mind.
The biggest issue I had was that the web-build wouldn't fit my screen properly (even in full-screen). Not sure if this is because of the UI scaling? Still, it didn't make the game unplayable. Another issue was that sometimes the planets would find an orbit where they were off-screen for 70+% of the time, and were thus difficult to aim for (But you stayed true to the game's physics, and those physical laws can be a harsh mistress). Still, the game was excellent, and the theme was well executed! Great job!
As for the planet distances, I'd imagine that if they're outside the "Goldilocks zone", the asteroid military would consider them "dead enough", haha.
However, my biggest praise was your visuals and audio.
The music was great, and fit the vibe perfectly, and I don't even know how to describe the audio. All I have to say is I loved the voice lines.
Your visuals look really good too. The art style really suits this type of game.
Nice job on your game. With some work this could be really fun!
Side note: I just sat there jamming to the music for a couple of minutes in the menu screen lol
And for sure should have done that with the planets. Though to stay in the spirit of the jam, I won't be making that adjustment.
