Wow looks awesome! Going to play it now.

stalker_23b 2012-04-22 22:43

Please post - is it working?

skullsoft 2012-04-22 22:47

Very cool! I'm amazed that you did that for a jam. One quibble: Since I'm playing it on a laptop, the view is way too big and it makes it kind of unplayable, trying to avoid and shoot the monsters. It gets my vote for graphics though!

thotor 2012-04-23 00:47

Same issue on my latop. Game view is too big.
The game is great, excellent graphics !

jeroenimooo 2012-04-23 09:40

Wow really cool! these graphics are really awesome

sdwil2k5 2012-04-23 09:41

Very nice. My favorite so far.

chartinboy 2012-04-23 09:43

Graphics are gorgeous, gameplay is very solid, but slightly...ehh, "vanilla", could be improved in my opinion.

But yeah, playing this I would assume a helluva lot more than 2 days went into it, so well done!

schizofunky 2012-04-23 09:43

Amazing job, I really enjoyed it!

lukerissacher 2012-04-23 10:00

Something tells me you've made games before...

robcozzens 2012-04-23 10:10

Amazing! I never would have even considered making a game like this in 48 hours!

oddgoo 2012-04-23 12:52

Solid build! The sky changing is fantastic.

Controls seem to get stuck every once in a while tho?

stalker_23b 2012-04-23 13:54

Thank you all, guys!

jami 2012-04-23 16:03

LOL I love how the dudes feet move while running xD Amazing graphics & fun gameplay. Good work

stalker_23b 2012-04-23 20:02

I am wonderinig, does someone ever win this game? )

ezolotko 2012-04-23 22:14

Thank you very much, this is a great game!

hazard 2012-04-23 23:49

Amazing work! Great graphics and fun to play. The most polished entry i've seen so far.

karnak 2012-04-24 00:14

Gorgeous!

mikesoylu 2012-04-24 00:43

@Stalker_23b I did :D

homnom 2012-04-24 07:12

I had some trouble with the controls, and felt 'thrown in' to tough enemies too soon. Awesome style though!

discofish 2012-04-25 01:23

Awesome graphic!

0xdeadbeef 2012-04-25 01:55

Could you possibly upload a mirror source download as a zip?

benw 2012-04-25 02:31

Needs music, otherwise perfect.

kato9 2012-04-25 02:33

Amazingly good. Somebody is making the most of Unity Pro's features :D Really fun, polished game. I wish it was a little harder, but overall really enjoyed it.

sonnybone 2012-04-25 05:14

WHOA MAN! So pretty! Needs music BADLY. The game gets really hectic and fun... and I dig the unique concepts you have going on. Keep working on this one! I'd love to play a final version. GREAT WORK!

cjke-7777 2012-04-25 06:18

Awesome stuff!

stalker_23b 2012-04-25 12:11

Thanks again! I agree about music needed, but i just can't make it myself. Initially i planned to use Wolfram Tones, but someone commented i cant use it because of copyright (

orni 2012-04-25 14:10

very entertaining shoot'em'up - loved the word transitions

the game looks incredible (games like this make me want to learn unity)

frederickk 2012-04-25 15:31

Wow! Really impressive!
Wonderful job man!

mesene 2012-04-25 16:54

I did something on unity too, but I'm not used to the graphics like you... Sir, im going to scope your project!
got some trouble with the camera & rotations like me.
Nice job man ;)

datamosh 2012-04-25 18:48

A few bugs, but looks great. Love the rotating world, nothing to envy to a Super Mario Galaxy! Could be improved (character design, but in 48 hs. it's obviously understandable!) It's super cute and loved the effects (the sunshine, blurry focus on the objects, etc.)

kunonooni 2012-04-25 22:20

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! This is one awesome game!

pq 2012-04-26 02:03

Definetely a good game, I like your graphics a lot.

gregdevice 2012-04-26 18:25

Wow, amazing visuals! Feels like a solid game. Controls take getting used to. Nice work!

codexus 2012-04-27 22:56

Nice shooter if a bit difficult, good looking graphics. But I died due to lack of mouse lock and then it restarted from the beginning...

dukope 2012-04-29 04:43

Nice visuals but ran quite slow on my mac, even at the lowest setting. I really like the use of dark/light and the planet transition concept. The upgrades added some nice depth.

matthias_zarzecki 2012-04-29 06:42

Ha, lovely. Love the graphics.

summaky 2012-04-29 09:48

The controls are too hard for me; I seem unable to move exactly where I want to and makes me look ridiculous circling a health box... I loved the graphics and I wish I could do something like that! ^_^

jezzamon 2012-04-29 10:36

I think this game will win best graphics!

I HOPE this game will win best graphics!

moop 2012-04-29 10:42

Graphics look amazing.

bitslap 2012-04-29 12:45

Cool. Played it through with one death. Could be deeper in combat but the graphics and setting makes me not care.

Congratulations on a good performance.

caribou 2012-04-29 16:59

Awesome :)

lidfrid 2012-04-29 17:11

Great game, These zorg are terrible!!! They're evil, what fear, like zombieeees

Well done, very well executed, graphics gorgeus and catchy as well!

funkydelpueblo 2012-04-30 00:47

As everyone's said, awesome graphics! A little music could have really helped with the mood.

vilborg 2012-05-03 16:55

Lagged too much to give you gameplay ratings. Good graphics, though!

sidetrackgames 2012-05-05 01:26

Love the art! Kind of overkill with the Unity pro effects here, but its appealing at the same time. Good job!

maple 2012-05-05 11:39

Amazing graphics, not as amazing gameplay. Very well presented.

tifu 2012-05-05 12:12

Pretty good gameplay, I can't get very far though =D Love the visuals

ad-edge 2012-05-05 15:27

Very nice game! The best combat in any LD game Ive ever played, and it was a good challenge as well. Almost died on those last 2 planets, that boss planet was mental!

kibertoad 2012-05-05 16:56

Amazing graphics, although a bit more optimization wouldn't hurt. Some extra lives or ability to continue where you died wouldn't hurt, though.

mrbarnslig 2012-05-05 18:36

Amazing graphics, I couldn't figure out what to do though. I ran around and collected these blue boxes, and tried to shoot things but no dice. Wasn't able to figure out how to "launch" to other planets unfortunately. Frame rate was also an issue, but it looked stunning. I enjoyed just running around the planet to see the effects. :-)

gritfish 2012-05-06 01:34

Amazing graphics - the upgrade system is pretty cool to include in a 48 hour entry, but with so few options, having to run around and collect all the cubes at the end of every level was a bit of a chore.

What I loved about the cube collecting though, was if you DIDN'T grab them immediately, you could use them as cover, and that allowed for some cool moments of strafing behind and shooting out from cover.

pixel-house-toast 2012-05-06 02:19

day and night is sooo good. Does night time affect the aliens? it seemed as if they sped up on the dark side of planets, but wasn't sure. graphics overall = amazing. super great. it'd be awesome if you were to continue this onto something outside LD, just to fix the frame rate issues and some gameplay elements + add music. nevertheless it looks super mega brilliant.

knighty 2012-05-07 10:14

Fun game. I liked the lighting effects, where if you go on the other side of the planet it becomes night.

dr-pingu 2012-05-07 15:30

Graphics are impressive!
a lot of content for a 48h compo.

Great work :)

m-gryko85 2012-05-09 10:15

Wow really cool graphics! Amazing work!

thotep 2012-05-10 13:15

Stunning graphics, very polished and actually fun. Congrats, it's an impressive entry!

tyruspeace 2012-05-11 02:10

Nice graphics! I'm a little unsure of how well the pixely texture works wrapped aroudn those trees, but the DOF and shadows look really nice with the pixelated grass. The walking animations on the characters can be pretty distracting, and I had difficulties shooting enemies until they were right next to me (even with the bullet speed upgrade).

Nice work, though! The level transitions are really nice looking and the sounds work well.

angelk 2012-05-12 21:21

Wow, the game looks great! I'm not sure how much unity is giving you for free here, but it's clear I need to learn to use it. I like the power ups, the art is definitely my style, and the shade mechanic is cool! great job.

scgrn 2012-05-13 07:37

Just WOW!!

angerus 2012-05-13 10:51

Some much fun playing it ! I'm amazed by the view you use for this game. Really interesting ! gotta look at your source to see how you did this ! Really good game !

jonathang 2012-05-13 11:54

A very nice looking game! The gameplay is fun too, although there was a bit of lag on the movement controls which made it hard to dodge the enemies. I like the upgrades between levels, that adds a bit of depth to it. Well done!

midgard 2012-05-13 15:53

Really good but It's hard to still playing when you die and you return to your original planet :(

firstrowgames 2012-05-13 23:34

the game looks great and its really fun.
