HoleGuard

You orbit automatically around the black hole as a little spaceship and try to protect it from incoming objects to hold it stable!

Keep in mind that crates give you either a fifth of the life of the black hole back or when you destroy it, you get one bomb!

Shoot - Space / X

Shoot Bombs - Y

Rotate - A/D

Change Line/Speed - W / S

Music - by me

Sounds - also by me (only the Explosion-Sound isn´t my creation!)

Art/Design - not by me, shoutouts to Brett Gregory (Space Kit 2D) and DINV Studio for the planets!

I found the ship rotation quite 'wobbly' and uncomfortable to control. Apart from that, the game seems to have a pace that's too low... it feels like "nothing's happening on the screen" for the most time for me. 

Just to give you some feedback, hope it helps :-)

Thanks for the feedback, it definitely helps! Do you have any tips how I could improve these issues?

Hm, maybe try to have the ship not rotate around its own axis due to gravity, but due to player input only.

And then maybe I'd speed up the incoming planets, play around with their HP stats until it feels fast-paced and build in times where more planets come and where less come (so the player can breathe in-between).

Those are ideas of mine, see what appears useful to you as the game designer and what you like and what not. After all, I'm just one player giving feedback :-)
