Omg, love it. Took me a little while before I figured out I had to throw the moon into the sun, i just kept using it as a landing platform lolz xD

Really cool game!

Awesome entry, It feels really polished and smooth, a little short though, I can totally see a full game based on destroying the sun.

Really good game. I did however land on the moon and shoot water trying too use myself as a rocket before I realised that you had to shoot it.

Really good use of the theme. Probably my favorite use so far? The game plays really well. Nice job!

This is so simple, yet really well done. I had a good laugh and there was some good humor involved. It also looks great, nice job! (:

The game is hilarious and actually quite fun to play with nice controls, but... You do realize physics don't work that way, don't you? :D I guess I'm physics nazi! :D

Cool game and nice story, good luck!

I believe this is my favorite game I've come across so far. You had a simple, quirky take on the theme and delivered an amusing and adorable (albeit short) experience. Thank you! Also, it's refreshing to see someone else using Love, I think you're the first entry I've seen that was Unity-based too.

Working out that I had to use the moon as a projectile (rather than simply a landing platform) wasn't very intuitive, but otherwise a solid game!

I love it! Maybe if there were some cool solar flares or sundogs (enemies of fire hydrants AND water!) coming from the sun you could mix it up with some enemy types.

Excellent use of the theme. Could be an interesting game with some more levels or something. I enjoyed the ending.

I had to read the comments to figure out how to beat it, but it was a pleasure to play nonetheless. The fire hydrant character was adorable, and the plotline was hilarious. Bravo.

That was a fun game! I almost solved it without spoilers, I guessed I had to throw the moon at the sun, but I tried to to it by landing on the opposite side and shooting.

Thumbs up for both idea and implementation! The humour in this is not lost on me.

Very good short game and nicely polished.

One of the most solidly built games I've played so far. What a sadly hilarious ending. Good work!

Oh i loved it. Plain genius. Humor at the right place, theme interpretation was perfect. 5/5!

Wow, great theme, great game. I enjoyed this more than anything else I've played so far, 5/5. Anyway you commented on my game saying it was running really slowly. Could you let me know what your CPU and graphics card are? And what happened when you tried to run the 64 bit executable?

This is amazing! I have no words. I mean, it's simple and all, but damn it's beautiful, fun, silly funny e very imaginative. It's complete. The best game I played so far. I'm rooting for you.

Very fun! funny take on the theme. The screen seems a bit too small on a big monitor.
