Whipped this up in 8 hours after giving up on my Plan A game last night. Pretty simple and lacks polish. Hope it's a bit of fun though.

Great job making a simple, enganging game.

The game seems to very suddenly get too difficult to continue at some point (After I could get about 1400pts). I'd suggest balancing the difficulty curve so there's more of a gradual doom.

Poor Pluto! :(

Simple as it is there's not much to say about it other than the fact that for an 8 hour game it's pretty nice. I think you've got all the basics even if you don't have much polish (though the particle effect on the shield is nice).

Highest score 2462 - longest chain 46. I am not very good.

Game brought a big smile to my face - very straight forward and good fun. While I struggled massively with abrupt changes of attack I kept playing. I could see this either being tidied up a bit to be a cool minigame in a full release, or having many cool tweaks to make it really polished looking and give the gameplay some more legs.

Excellent for 8 hours. Big smiley face is nice.

Surprisingly fun, good controls. Love the pop at the end (a balloon pop sound would have been cherry on top, though). :D

Very simple yet fun to play. I like Pluto face and game over explosion

Managed 943 points. Not bad for 8 hours :)

A bit tough when the bombs start to come in from the opposite site, since the shield movement is hard to predict if you move fast.

cute game. reminds me a lot of bit.trip beat on a circle. some music and more score feedback would go a long way. also wasn having trouble getting from one side of the planet to the other accurately enough when the direction flip-flopped. fun though.

Quite a simple game, but a bit of fun :)
