I live so many things about this entry!
Its extremely well done, seems like a finished product with all the features (menu, settings, pause, polish).
Game feels very fast (by its nature) but I like the idea and I like how you brought up to it (at start game feels kinda slow and then you kick in and zoom through the stars.
Well done this is amazing entry!

Love the game and it's colors! I couldn't finish it because it gets hella intense towards the end BUT, I did get to the graphics switch and love how everything blends with the music!!!! It is VERY impressive that you got the gravity physx to work like that in a GB game!

I'm flattered. This is not a GB game / GB ROM. It was developed in GDevelop 5, a Javascript engine.

Thank you for the feedback!
