ha, a pretty literal interpretation of the theme. i liked it!

I dug the music. The dead planets were somewhat hard to see, though and I never got terribly far into the game. I like the concept, though.

Well its...different.

Cambrian_Man: I should have tested on more machines. I could see them fine on my dev machine, but at work today they're nearly invisible. My bad!

I am totally bad at this game, but I like it !

I like the megascale structure interpretation of the theme, very space opera/sci-fi. The difficulty ramp was well judged and there were some nice risk/reward dilemmas thrown at the player. Nice crisp graphics too, I persevered until I beat it ;)

This game is so simple, yet I found it a lot of fun. Nice job!

Good concept, but a little bit wierd :P

I like the idea of playing as the world! ANd the shrinking mechanic is very cool too!

whitetigle 2012-04-24 20:43

I like the fact that shrinking a planet has a cost ;)

i was really enjoying the music, but it stopped playing after a while! started back up when i restarted the level, though.

I really liked the atmosphere of it, and I felt so guilty the first time I had to shrink. Controlling the planet was great.

I feel like the hitbox for the lightning and dead planets was maybe a bit too large; There were a few times where I was hit when I thought I was safe, but maybe I just suck :P

Hehe, very literal interpretation.

Quite innovative, well done.

I quite like the concept, the music was pretty cool too. I couldn't get that far though, since it's very difficult for me. Nevertheless, it's pretty cool.

Interesting concept and good music.
I didn't get very far though. The dead planets hitboxes seem to be square, which seems off as I keep dying without actually touching them.

wow! really nice! love the theme and how you adapted to it

Well, well, well: what have we got here? And unpredictable interpretation of the theme. And it's fun, too! =)
