I wish I could hold the button for the bullets, but the difficulty was just right, I made it whith just a tiny bit of hp lef

Very well done. Smooth and polished game, and fun to play!

We have the winner of LD23.

The art style is very nice, and it's pretty well polished, but the enemy dudes are just too annoying. Once they reach you, you have no close range fighting ability which makes it rather frustrating trying to kill them as one mistake can get you killed very very quickly. Also maybe it's just me, but I don't think the fixed rotation camera suits this kind of game. However, I will say that the bullets arcing around the surface is awesome!

smvilar 2012-04-23 13:15

@Darkcoder, yes, the enemy AI is f***ing annoying, that's right. And maybe if the world rotated instead of the player the game would be nicer to play, but whatever, I'll left it this way.

*I'll leave it

Nice Work!

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 13:32

Hard! but awesome sauce all around! Yay!

danvil 2012-04-23 13:48

Nice! The controls needs getting used to.

eshredder 2012-04-23 17:39

The game is fun and it got a nice look to it.
It is a bit hard ingame as the enemies can catch you pretty easily.

cornedor 2012-04-23 17:40

Very nice, it is sometimes a bit confusing if a alien jumps right behind you and you cant shoot him because if you turn around he is behind you again.

Thumbs up to the art style.

ncannasse 2012-04-23 19:05

Liked it, but would have like more levels with different enemies :)

uuav 2012-04-24 14:35

One of the best games I tested so far!

transmit 2012-04-24 14:37

Hard but fun! I probably would have prefered the planet to rotate than the player, but only because I couldnt work out which way was up!

ahm99 2012-04-24 14:45

Nice game, good job : )

tsj666 2012-04-24 15:19

It was too short, finished in less than 2 mins. But smooth and very well done, expecially the graphics.

evgis 2012-04-24 15:21

Nice work, a little hard, but pretty well balanced! I like the graphics, a little annoying that you rotate, not the planet, but it adds to the difficulty!

nehmulos 2012-04-27 14:13

I really had some short-time fun! The graphics and audio are really nice and I mostly liked how these spaceships crashed on the planet.

It was a little bit annoying that you are practically dead once an enemy reaches you, because you can't run away fast enough without running into others, but in the end it added to the playtime and I enjoyed the game even more once I finished charging the last tower.

sdwil2k5 2012-04-28 11:38

Very nice, I only wished for a melee attack to get the guys that get in too close and are hard to shake off :)

But, just as all good games do, this game presents a nice fun challenge which takes a few tries to get the hang of.

Well done!

de10ter 2012-04-28 21:51

I liked it.
Though it was a bit too difficult for my tastes :S

alex-k 2012-04-30 18:05

Nice game!
The fact that the camera doesn't rotate is a bit disturbing at first, but interesting!
Difficult at first, but gets very easy once you've finished to read the explanations and played a little.

schizofunky 2012-04-30 18:23

Nice work! The music sounds eerily familiar, its very good. I had trouble with the enemies when they get too close and constnatly jump tho, maybe a way to fight close range would be cool?

jeffalisk 2012-04-30 18:25

Superb look and feel, very addictive gameplay - top job!

My only complaint is it's a bit hard - haven't been able to beat it yet.

But even having rated it I will probably come back and have another go!

datamosh 2012-04-30 22:34

I could not stop playing until you complete the objective! Great game is really fun! The only annoying are the enemies, stick to the player more than in KungFu Master.

smvilar 2012-05-01 05:02

Thanks for all the nice comments and critiques! You're awesome!

robcozzens 2012-05-02 09:09

Seems really cool, but very frustrating that the bad guys would line up exactly with you so you couldn't shoot them while staying still to charge the towers.

ratboy2713 2012-05-06 05:08

I like that the bullets arc around the planet, simplifies soo much. The invaders move too fast, once they get on top of you you really can't get far enough away to shoot them.

someguy22 2012-05-08 01:01

Nice and fun but way too hard! I think it needs health upgrades or weaker enemies. Oh and the music sounds good but I think it should match the fast pace of the game!

mrphil 2012-05-08 03:05

I would like to keep playing but two issues made me give it up:
1. The controls feel backwards in my mind when you are on the underside of the planets. Really messed with my head.
2. The aliens jump-float made shooting them to difficult and I died too much.

castor 2012-05-08 17:07

Really cool to play. Great use of the quake. The game looks great.
