You've deliberately, recklessly, or incompetently made this game difficult by using the gyroscopic features on my Chromebook without any mention of them in the description of the controls, which don't work as described. As far as I can tell, A and D, and left and right cursor keys do nothing. This game should be flagged for removal, the game is so unacceptably frustrating to use as a result. I shouldn't have to tilt my Chromebook so far one way or another that it tries to reorient itself from landscape to portrait mode as a result.
There's this weird clicking or knocking sound when I crash, like someone's tapping an empty disposable cup. Three taps.
Also, it seems that my movement before and after I jump is random. Why is that? It seems the cursor keys and WAD do little other than jump me off my own starting planet but I arch so severely that I can't really aim at anything reliably.
It took me too long to realize that I was actually trying to land on planets because asteroids seemed to kill me. For a while, I was trying to see if I could jump as far as possible, unimpeded by anything. So why isn't your description better if playing the game doesn't make more sense?
In fact, the description says "you have to jump from asteroid to asteroid through space and survive as long as possible".
... OMG. Why don't you say ANYTHING about the TILT of my COMPUTER being part of the controls??? No wonder the E keys did so little. My CHROMEBOOK has to be PHYSICALLY TILTED to control my character? Why didn't you SAY SO???
How can you say the controls are explained in the description and give an inaccurate description of the controls? I guess it's because you don't care about doing a good job or living up to reasonable expectations. Was the game too easy with keyboard controls? Thought you'd sneak in tilt gyroscopic controls without telling anyone? I guess you don't mind antagonizing your users and shattering their expectations.
Those things I die on, in the middle of the screen, between more spherical shapes? THOSE ARE ASTEROIDS!
Is it so easy to make a game like this that it just slips your mind completely to give accurate descriptions of the goal of the game or how to play? Is it? It looks like some things you did well while making the gameplay suck.
It looks like this game has been up for four years and this "final version" has been up for three. CONGRATULATIONS on making a game that's annoying to try to play because you didn't do something as simple as type words into the description or stick to simple keyboard controls. Awesome. You're "awesome".
I had alot of fun playing this game, definitely a game I would play if I was bored or something. It was very addicting lol I didn't want to stop playing, anyways good job and keep it up!
really fun and addicting to play, i heard about you guys planning to release to mobile, and i just wanted to say that i would most definitely play it regularly, its just SO addicting xD nice job and graphics are great!
Wow ! Thanks to all the team for making this game. Your graphics are so cute ! The gameplay is cool, sounds are good, i like animations. Congratulations !
The polish on this game is really great, good job! A small problem for me is that I'd expect the "a" key and the "d" key to be reversed, since we mostly hit the planet from the bottom it makes more sense for them to be mapped like that. Other than that, the game was really enjoyable, keep it up!
We were unsure about that for a while but when it comes down to it a is clockwise and d is anticlockwise which works much better. Thanks for the feedback and enjoy the game!
Thank you! We're glad you think so! We tried our best to focus on making gameplay simple and fun during these two weeks and spent the last few days just testing it hahah. We're very glad you feel that way!
I love it! Music is nice and calming, and the visuals are clean and simple. A thing that may add a lot more to the experience is to make it progressively harder as it goes on. I'd love to see a mobile release of this soon!
Thank you for the feedback! I think most of the team would agree that balancing the difficulty progression has been quite a challenge, but we hope to test and improve this in future updates! please look forward to it!
