To be honest, I don't really think it needs to be mentioned at all. The subset of people who would care in a (casual?) game like this must be near nil.

Nice game by the way. Reminds me of a game called 'Astro Golf' which had a similar one-screen space view with smooth animations.

I got soft locked in the leaderboards view, they didn't load and I can't press the X to get back to the game.

Guess I can't edit my previous comment. Played a bit more so here are some comments.

- Impatient, but it would be nice to skip the initial 'spin' of Earth after a few attempts.

- The game starts to lag after a few minutes (iPhone X) but is smooth otherwise.

- It's annoying that the level select defaults back to first planet instead of the latest playable one.

- I was confused about the 'confidential' marked meteors I thought I had hit a paywall and initially shut the game down. Only after I realized that I could go past it. I think it's quite effective though, as when I finished all I went back to watch ads to unlock one (which I hate doing..). Maybe have the next planets visible in the edges of the screen.

- Brings me to the crash I had while watching the ad (during the game being laggy, not sure if related).

- I wish the particles bounced of earth and other stuff.

- Boost could be more visible.

Quite difficult, but satisfying when you make it.
