I adore this game, except that I need to have the playdate perma charging to keep it idle live. Also upset that sattelites no longer spawn. STILL! Worth it for the price, and the love of an asteroids game you don't have to panic about being hit in. <333
I have just sent a fix for this bug to Playdate for review. Thanks for catching it and I am very glad to hear you are enjoying the game! Didn't even think about it draining battery while idle. During all my testing I likely had my device plugged into my computer and never noticed. Not sure if there is anything I can do about this.
Fantastic news! Thank you for your hard work! lol Ya I have no doubt that while you were working you were too deep in it! lol. While a game is running it almost doesn't matter, but I did set the playdate to not go idle, but they ONLY have an option to not go idle while plugged in. Not sure if it's too much of an issue because tbh the battery doesn't last super long if a game is running. Thank you for checking out our feedback! <3
Just sent the fix for this to playdate. That is a reasonable guess, but it was actually just a stupid mistake on my part. When I am loading the save file I correctly check if the player has satellites unlocked and update their variable, but I forgot to actually start the spawn loop lol. Sorry for any annoyance/trouble this caused.
Just sent a fix to Panic for the first bug since it was negatively impacting experience and will look at the other one next since it isn't as pressing (Enjoy it for now lol I may have to add some logic to revert your save file to the intended maximum). Thanks for pointing these out. A lot of my testing was done in single sessions so I just completely missed these.

Bought on Catalog - but guessing that Satellites spawn after Asteroids, and too many Asteroids are taking up sprite slots?

The game is great but yeah same problem as the others, satellites don't spawn any more.
Also another small bug, but this time to the player's benefit, you can keep upgrading past the max amount allowed by restarting the game.

I absolutely LOVE the idea of this game. Great concept!
Aside - I'm also experiencing the no Satellite bug.

Great game, and an absolute bargain. I have a bug report:
If the game is closed (and reopened) after Satellite Radar is enabled, satellites will not appear.
