here's a minimilist space shooter about keeping a star alive... your movement is restricted to rotation, but besides that it's not really a good representation of the theme. sorry!

here's a round of gameplay, if you need convincing

Feel free to criticize as harshly as you wish. Not sure what you could say that I haven't already thought about... but i guess that's what feedback is for

not sure what else to write here. it's weird that the game ended up lending itself so well to simplicity, considering my initial idea would never have worked with the time limit. This was also the first time i tried working with this sort of dynamic-y music. couldn't come up with anything better that would work with the game's aesthetic. also... the screenshot is of me playing the game wrong. you're supposed to shoot the asteroids, not the drone things. whoops

have fun!!!
