Very nice, atmospheric. Funny enemies. The topic is not immediately clear.

Love the graphics and the prologue! Controls are awkward though, i think if the ship flew towards the mouse cursor, it would be easier to aim and dodge attacks. Also adding a life bar would be very helpful :D

Very beautiful and calming game ! Bonus for the wholesome message :)

Great visuals and gameplay! Feels very polished. My only comment is on the controls - it's very difficult to dodge the enemy fire without a strafing mechanic. Recovering the stars and returning them to their position feels very satisfying. Good work!

What an amazing ambience! (art + audio + visual effects) I was thrilled that I had to figure out the game myself. Putting a star back into place for the first time was a great feeling. Good job on not punishing the player for mistakes. I liked the breaks between action and cutscenes. While the wording was awkward, I appreciate the effort.

Really cool game :) I prefer it a bit more when the spaceships are a bit faster/more agile but I guess that is my personal taste

The look of this game, the audio, and the presentation are all great. I love everything around the gameplay, but the gameplay itself felt incredibly clunky. As others have said, dodging and firing isnt possible which makes fights really hard and not feel that great. Also obscuring how much health you have doesn't really do anything for the game, perhaps you could show health on the ship if you don't want UI elements. I also didn't really get the connection to the theme. Once again though, great job on the visuals and audio!

Nice game. Quite hard at the beginning to dodge and fire: would be nice to have retro-rocket or something to be able to fire while flying away. Liked the ambiance.

Outstanding graphics and awesome intro.
Very familiar game play.

Loved the art, audio, intro. I don't see a connection to the theme, but that's not a big deal.

A health bar UI would be really helpful. I agree with what others have already pointed out about the controls, using the mouse to rotate would've been better.

Overall, great job!

I had fun playing, however, I feel like this game lacks lateral movement to avoid enemy projectiles.

Otherwise, it's a pretty decent and cute entry with a good mood. Well done !
