I got 54, allegedly better than 99% of players. But I also note that a score of zero is apparently better than 32% of players.
Very fun.

#12Brilliant game. Thank you so much for this.

#13Fun, but the way they fly doesn't quite match my intuition. Why would an object curve when I send it out on the tangent? Wouldn't that be a straight line unless it's affected by a different gravity well?
Yes, you have to imagine a much bigger star beneath the viewport.

#14Fun. Not sure if this applies on desktop, but on mobile the quick/fast/blazing/skip text often blocks vision of the ball making it harder than it should be to make combos
This precisely.

#15Fun, but dark grey text on a dark background? Bit hard to read a bunch of the text.
It also seems like there's gravity coming from off screen assets (or maybe it's the bottom of the screen?) causing the projectile to curve in unexpected ways, and not be captured as strongly by the gravity of the visible objects as I'd expect.

#16I don't see the "orbital" part. Ship flies in straight lines
Doesn't seem that hard, just a boredom endurance

#18Fun :)
Small idea for improvement: the "fast" text is often over the same space as the ball, which makes it harder to see where the ball would be going.

#19The use of the Web Vibration API Navigator.vibrate() is well done! I haven't seen it used much, but it really adds to the game.
(Apparently iOS still doesn't support it [1]? It's been in Chrome for the past 12 years. Maybe someday.)

I imagine it as slingshotting my way up a tree.
