I don't see a link to the game. Where is it? I wanna fly a moon!

transmit 2012-04-23 22:07

Fixed now! Don't know what happened.

angrygeometry 2012-04-24 11:09

it ran a bit slow on my computer but that's just my wooden pc. cool game, would have liked a bit more variance in the objects you collide into but it was fun all the same

laubori 2012-04-24 11:09

It's fun! 4/5 Very nice game :)

derosa 2012-04-24 11:12

Haha! Loved the ending! I even thought that a new level was about to start!

johanp 2012-04-24 11:25

Fun to play but not very challenging. Would love to actually take on the sun. :)

I thought it was a nice, funny little game. A couple of things I noted: For some reason the planets' textures go over the in game text, and the moon's mass maxes out at 711? I really like the idea, but I think it could have been more challenging. You can essentially beat it by traveling in a straight line, the missiles barely hurt you.

netmute 2012-04-24 11:52

Well, THAT was fun! :) Reminds me of Osmos, with a big load of awesome on top of it.
Well done!

transmit 2012-04-24 11:55

Thanks all for the positive comments so far! The Moon maxes out once you go over 700, because if it got any bigger we started having issues with the zooming out camera, and the moon itself would take up too much of the screen to see anything else.

jeroenimooo 2012-04-24 12:03

I have done it! i destroyed the world! though it took pritty long :s But it was worth it :)

homnom 2012-04-24 12:06

A fun little diversion. Thanks!

arhpositive 2012-04-24 12:13

It's a sadistic, happy feeling when you finally take earth down. :) Nice ending too. :)

joshua 2012-04-24 12:19

I really liked it! The only thing I think you could improve on would be adding a few more levels. I did, however, like the ending :P

opifexentertainment 2012-04-24 12:44

A fun little game, nicely done! Too easy though, I want a hard mode with more missiles to dodge!

gfm 2012-04-24 13:22

Katamari... on space? xD

Well, that's kinda how I saw the game... xD

Really liked it, though it would be better if there wasn't a max size and if you went on to take over the sun! :P

evilseanbot 2012-04-24 13:29

The music really made this one. This made me feel a little guilty.

tacograveyard 2012-04-24 14:17

Fun game. Wish I could keep growing beyond 711.

sanguine 2012-04-24 14:20

I love 'eat em to get bigger games'! Loved this one aswell :)

murrayl 2012-04-24 14:24

For some reason, a few seconds after hitting my first asteroid, the sound turned off in the game. Refreshing the SWF (even clearing the cache) did not bring it back. :(

Despite the deathly silence, I did enjoy the game! It was great fun smashing through planets.

transmit 2012-04-24 14:27

Thats amazingly odd. Flixel has a built in mute function when you push 0 I believe, which we didnt disable, may have hit that! But shouldnt have stayed between refreshes.

zener 2012-04-24 15:37

Lovely game

datw 2012-04-24 17:29

Fun game, it's a shame its so tiny. You should have done more levels :(

Also, i liked the music.

jrasmussen24 2012-04-24 17:42

Good fun! I was somewhat confused by why my moon appeared to be shrinking while hitting some objects-- were those missiles being shot by the planets or somesuch?

transmit 2012-04-24 17:54

Yeah! I said up in the description that there are occupied planets which shoot missiles at you, which knocks chunks of your mass off.

devwil 2012-04-24 20:14

pretty funny.

smvilar 2012-04-24 20:57

I WANT TO SMASH THE SUN!!!!!1

zamando 2012-04-24 21:37

Great game!

01010111 2012-04-25 00:18

I loved this! It's such a funny concept - I'd love to see where you can take it with more time!

make-a-game 2012-04-25 01:27

Shame it capped at 703 mass, I wanted to break the game and have the moon bigger than the game window. :D

drabiter 2012-04-25 03:51

Interesting story. The bgm and sfx are good. My advice, since it's space why don't make zero gravity so the moon keep moving and player have less key press.

strega 2012-04-25 06:12

Fun game! Simple mechanic, but still satisfying just to destroy things. Really liked the music!

thotor 2012-04-25 15:05

Loved the audio. Gameplay is fun

davidllanos22 2012-04-26 03:16

HAHa, very nice game! I like how the planets and the ufos shoot you but you get no harm :D GO MOON! Good job :)

toast 2012-04-26 11:24

It was fun, but a simple feeding frenzy clone with no real difficulty.

daandruff 2012-04-26 16:47

I loved the music! And the game was a awesome spinoff of Katamari! :D

derrickdool 2012-04-26 20:34

Nicely done.

alwaysgeeky 2012-04-27 02:16

I forgave the slowness and actually really liked this game, good stuff! :)

olkeencole 2012-04-27 20:10

vitou3d 2012-04-28 07:25

I love this game. So addicted!

vitou3d 2012-04-28 07:25

I love this game. Everything is good ! So addicted!

hungyg 2012-04-28 10:38

very fun to play with! the only drawback was the particle system, that the thrusters, the debris AND the bullets were all red and hard to distinguish. good job tho!

sodaware 2012-04-30 01:02

Great job! It ran quite slow on my machine, although it was still playable. It also gets quite hard to see things once you get large, but that adds to the challenge I guess. Good music, and the opening / closing cutscenes were nicely done.

matthias_zarzecki 2012-04-30 13:21

Lovely idea!

sidetrackgames 2012-04-30 13:44

Awesome music :)

remi_b 2012-05-01 16:17

Liked it! Would like to have some ennemies to add challenge!

azurenimbus 2012-05-10 04:07

I loved it. There's a very strong cool factor for this one.

Also, the music was awesome.

kevinworkman 2012-05-12 02:17

This was fun! It could have been a little longer, but this is good for a competition. Let me at the sun!

free_napalm 2012-05-12 16:32

A bit too easy for me, but really fun :) A game to relax.
