Use of the limitation
The first idea I had was just making a "fishing" game in space, instead of fishing in water. But then I realized planet Earth had water, lol. Therefore: fishing game in space, but around a planet with no water.
Cookies eaten
Hmmm around 10 xD

Really well done on this!! I played for quite a while, it was really fun :)) great music choice too. I think it would be super addicting if there was a time limit mode!
I did kind of cheat (i think) by holding the grabber against the planet and waiting for trash above me - maybe a penalty for literally scraping the grabber across the whole circumference of the planet would be good 🤭
Really fun game!!
Someone else also told me about the claw holding exploit xD I think it's a smart way to play, but your idea is a good way to penalize the player uwu I also like the time limit mode, thank you very much for your feedback and ideas!!! :D
Very simple but very nice. I could see myself racking up way too large of a highscore instead of...sleeping.
Hahahahah thank you so much XD
Its really enjoyable, everything works great from sound to visuals to controls. You requested feedback the only one I can give is to expand the game.
Hahah thank you so much!!! This makes me really happy xD
pretty cool game and nice concept! I had fun playing it
Thank you so much :D I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
It looks really cool! Gameplay-wise, the game is fun, but it lacks some kind of challenge.
Thank you for your comment and feedback ^_^
I really enjoyed this game! Love the simple gameplay and very chill vibe! I think maybe some sort of upgrade system would be really cool but overall, this is a very solid entry! Well done :D
An upgrade system sounds really cool *-* Thank you for the idea!!!!
Music is soothing and perfect for this chill game. Enjoyed it a lot. Good game.
Thank you thank you!!!! :DD
I like this game alot! It looks good and runs smoothly. I would have liked if the trash built up more quickly to create a sense of urgency, and so that players would want to challenge their previous high scores.
Ooh that would surely be a fun challenge xD Thanks for your feedback!!!
It was fun, maybe you could've added different colored planets after certain number of score and lose after some number of asteroids, but overall it was fun. I also found an exploit in your game, if you hold the mouse down you can wait until there is trash above the claw and then release.
Thank you for your feedback!!! Changing the planet is a great idea :] And other people suggested a game over from the asteroids as well ^.^ The exploit could be just a useful technique heheh But that gives me ideas (such as losing points when you hit the planet). Thanks again xD
Simple, and nice athesetic! :) Love the orbital motion too.
Thank you very much ^.^ !!!
Great art, great idea, great implementation! Really enjoyed playing this game. It is just so nice, soft, and soothing.
I think it might be developed further into a nice idle/clicker game.
Thank you so much!! That is indeed a great idea :DD
My score is 2755
A well-polished game with really good use of assets on stage, the whole orbit looks cool.
By the way, it would be great to have another condition for losing, for example, losing after 3 asteroids.
Nice score :D and good idea!!! Thank you for your feedback ^_^
Sorry, I meant "score", not "account", I forgot to double-check my text:D
I really enjoyed this game! Felt polished and the art style is really nice too! The game is simple yet fun! Great work!
Ahh thank you very much!!! ( ^.^)/
Love me some claw games!
Same XD !!
Absolutely fantastic, very polished and a unique take!
Thank you so much!! ^_^
Great work! Ended with 2465.
I love the art style and everything included.
IT works, it would be great to have more of a challenge, picking up a rock doesnt really give much of a negative, and i was unsure why the game ended?
but other then that, good work, i enjoyed it.
Nice score!!! Beat me :D
Thank you for your feedback!! I'm still thinking about challenges, I did think of making life points that you could lose when picking up a rock (instead of just losing points). The game ends when there is too much trash on the screen, I was thinking of corrupting the planet or creating a dark cloud as the clutter appears to give some visual feedback, but I couldn't decide :P
I recommend trash falling to the planet after X amount of time 😉 and maybe an indication of older trash that needs to be cleaned up.
And trash cleaning power ups 😆
OOH those are awesome ideas, thank you so much!!! ☆_☆
