I noodled with art too much to make a start screen again so the game just starts. Prepare yourself!

Really cool graphics, seemed really hard to get myself going at first, but once I had some momentum, it was a breeze. The music and camera got a little annoying after a while but really nice graphics and the concept is cool. Good job!

The graphics looked amazing, but for me playing the game was like staring at a photo and trying to get the stuff shown on the photo to move. The things ran at 1 FPS most of the time, peaking at 3 FPS or so. That's probably just my computer. Either way, I can't really judge. Still, I'll give you a 5 for graphics!

My computer is not that good so this game was lagging

Sick graphics, reminiscent me of flower. Lots of nice touches like the fov effect on restart. Gameplay feels good. Needs a difficulty ramp, I got to 100,000 with no end in sight. I had some difficulty at first gauging my speed versus the sun drops, I think the problem may be that the camera is angled slightly down, try aiming the camera along the same vector as movement. Also, I think you should simplify the camera by removing the roll component so the planet is always down. Nice ambient music. Great work!

Graphically it's great.
The idea is nice, although I had a hard time to really aim for those floating things and most of the times I stopped at 3-5 seconds. There are arrow controls that are bad, then I realized it plays with the mouse a little bit better.

Nice looks & style. Needs a sensitivity for the mouse + keyboard controls (I forgot to do this as well).
