You are the creature with the strong desire to live. Try to survive in this living hell, use only one button in you spacecraft, jump forward deep into space and stay alive.

Well polished and plays nicely. Nice take on the theme too, quite literal, love it. Only wish is a "restart" button (unless i missed it) for faster failure instead of waiting for ship to reach the edge, when you see you missed.
Idea, graphics, sound, gameplay, very good job on all those! Those moments when you think you fired a blank but end up on distant planet by luck are fun. Seems the scoreboard is fake though, as it always says YOU and I can't out my name in no matter how many points I get, or is it just the web version. You guys make a great team.
Really cool and interesting concept! I think the only critique I'd give is that the bottom and top cut off the game. Not sure if that's a design choice or not.
Fun game! Definitely difficult (at least for me haha) Love the graphics! The ambient noise seems to occasionally cut out, and then will restart once you've retried again. (Maybe there is just blank noise in the audio and it happened to sync up with me restarting) I like the tension between trying to aim your destination and not spending so much time that you get swallowed up by the universe.
So simple and addicting! The graphics are so clean, and the sun is beautiful. The full browser game makes it feel really immersive and adds to the mood. Great work here!
Very polished and fun game. My only complaint is that on fullscreen 16:9, the top of the screen is very risky since there is less space, I tend to wait to shoot horizontally, which I don't think should factor into a players decision.
Your game was very polished! The music fit the mood of the game very well, implying a sense of intrigue and "where are we going to next?" without feeling doomsday-esque. Overall, your game was intuitive and I definitely enjoyed playing!
Awesome entry! Love the monochrome graphics, with only the subtle red of the black hole (though, personally, I think the yellow guide line clashes with the overall aesthetic), and the audio used (music + sfx) was pretty much handled perfectly and really help sell the mood.
I like this game ! It's very fun and original ! The concept with planet, the mechanic are awesome ! But I don't understand why this is a sound of coin when we get a planet. :)
Mood, music and sound effects were spot on. I also loved the binary color graphics and the simple gameplay. Some people must be much better at it than I am because I don't even think I made it into double digits for the score even though I tried a number of times.
It did take a couple tries to get used to the velocity of the ship, but there isn't really any getting away from that. I was a little confused at first because of your note that "black holes consume everything" but then my ship was immediately positioned to fire directly into a black hole. I lost the first round thinking I was supposed to rotate around the planet somehow. Not a problem, and you figure it out the first time you launch, but thought I'd mention it.
Really eat game. The graphics are awesome, and the audio, you could make it phone game. I would download it definitely. Anyways I have a question, can you tell me how you dit whit dots orbit?
I loved the simple but effective gameplay! I think that with additional powers the player could have advantages to better target or have more chances as in the game "Peggle". However I also loved the minimalist style and the musical atmosphere! Great job!
Really polished, could easily be released on mobile as is even. I enjoyed it, especially the way you can balance the difficulty yourself by making riskier moves and flying off into the abyss. :D Well done in all the categories!

I particulary like the song played in the highscores table.
The concept with planet, the mechanic are awesome !
But I don't understand why this is a sound of coin when we get a planet.

Very polished and nice!
The best hit so far, +81!
If I understand your question, it very easy - the circle math (sine + cosine).
