Sounds were really good. Graphics were cute. I had trouble with the pull back to move mechanic. I had the best luck just clicking in the opposite direction I wanted my ship to go, but that wasn't so reliable either. I liked that there were enemies that could shoot and charge. It was kinda hard to see when I was taking damage, sometimes - for example it took me a couple of games to realize that the edge of the screen seemed to damage me. Keep making games, yay!

This is a gem. The vibe establish in the intro sequence is great. The entire concept of accidentally hitting the end of space too hard, breaking it in the process, is fantastic.

The actual gameplay left me wanting slightly more control over my fart rocket, but I also feel like some level of imprecision is part of the charm, and in general it felt appropriate for the game. I also loved all the silly little sound effects.

Solid entry, this game has a distinct personality, and that can be a really tricky thing to get right in just one weekend.

Would like to have some UI for how powerful pulls are

Really interesting idea with the pullback mechanic for the spaceship, like the others said it wasn't so reliable but it was fun. A space jellyfish killed me, 10/10. Good job guys!

I like the graceful design of "reverse control" since it always make the game even more funnier lol. Love the fart-like boost sound and nice job!

Sounds are fun and this is definitely high on the Humour side of the things ^^ I wish controls were a bit more explained (like even right here on the page), I felt like it just moves with my mouse but wasn't sure how should I fight the creatures, so I just tried evading them and collect the stars.

This was a funny (and silly) game. I also liked how the controls where introduced. It was also hard to defeat the enemies, but I'm not sure if you wanted them to be hard to beat.

This is so silly and fun. A spaceship powered by what I'm assuming are farts. The art is appropriately silly too. Your take on the theme is very literal. I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to fight the creatures or avoid them, as the score is only show at the end and there is no health indicator (except the ship getting red at some point).

Muhahaha, that's great. Loved the sound effects and art. Like others, I kinda struggled with the controls.

This lived up to the promise "silly game". The bonks were my favourite part. The fact that the ship looks like a silly face also helps. The mechanic to move by pulling back was a bit hard to use, I kept fumbling with my direction. But really, that is the only thing less than ideal, the idea and tone are very funny :)
