Reviews for "Run From the Sun"

Great, but maybe a sequel would fix some things

Simple and fun game, but there are some things I'd like to see some improvements in the next version (?)

First: when you unpause the game there should be some kind of delay, so you could still press Space at the right time without having to wait a full rotation.

Second: change the multiple rocket system to an improvement system (so we could build our own rockets using parts we collected as rewards or maybe some points). Either that or make each rocket more different from each other (Showing us a full statistics like launch speed, gravity affinity,oxygen tank capacity,... and REAL special abilities - like a laser gun, teleport, selfdestruct button, planet destroyer, hyperspeed, etc)

Third (and last): Give planets more variety... When they are too close to the sun they start to burn and damage your ship. Create a mechanic planet that recovers the rocket health over time when you're landed on it.

There are many other things you could build into the game like other spaceships trying to escape, help signs in foreign languages...

good for what it is

i'd have to say it is a good game and if there were to be a sequal which there easily could be since it has potential, you might want to expand upon the just few ships you get and have customization, upgrades, ya know the works.

but this is a good game and while only one button is hit i found myself amused by it for like half an hour and im sure the rest of you did too so stop complaining about the one button thing gosh.

A Single Mistake = Death

Yes, it's cute as an arcade game, but there has to be some forgiveness...
You know when the ship does not reach the next planet, but flies off of space?
That's the most annoying part of the game, and the second most annoying thing is that mistakes can cost you big time!

At least make it slightly easier, like 3 lives, fuel to redirect your ship in mid-flight, anything really.

Fun, with a few flaws

Name that, if you realized you screwed up, you couldn't self-destruct. You had to wait for your oxygen to run out, and by then the sun is where you used to be.

If you were leaving colonies that rebuild your ship on the last planet you visited after falling off, instead of just teleporting there, it would be much more satisfying. Neat nonetheless.
