Use the star's gravity to orbit the star and shoot down hostile ships before your ship's self-destruct sequence completes.

(Tip: Use inertia more than fighting against it. You stay in control at adequate amount by letting go of the desire for absolute control. Give the ship a few nudges at the right time rather than constantly thrusting)

More difficult than I expected, but still fun!

This game was fun. I got past the first level after 30 attempts and then I gave up. It is difficult but I will come back because I love the challenge. I like the music and the little ship sounds too. Also, the art is amazing. This game was great all around. Great job on this one.

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! What kind of changes would you recommend for a more enjoyable experience? Anything about movement, shooting, enemies, or other?

This game is very difficult. Makes me want to come back to beat that first level.

I loved this, it was very challenging which made it even better. I got it in the end though. Wonderful game and good luck on your jam!
