Cool music but no video.

my score was 37150. It was pretty fun! The best part was that apparently your house can be three times as big as the world it is built on.

Awesome game was very fun to play

I really enjoyed the way this game played. It had a very nice pace and was effectively balanced. The best part was where the house fell over, which came right after five blue carrier-looking ships overwhelmed me. Does the game have an ending, or does it just get impossible? Good music, and a very fun arcadey type game. It kind of goes to show that a really simple concept of "shoot enemies before they get to this place" can be entertaining if executed well.

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM! hahah was fun to play.

valeour 2012-04-24 19:17

Haha, definitely one of my favourites so far, that was fantastic.

lucas-tiridath 2012-04-24 20:34

Hahaha great fun and very amusing! Great range of enemies. Highest score so far around 45k but I'll try and beat that!

Awesome take on the theme.

the-force 2012-04-24 21:30

omg over 9k hours playing to beat it... yes Im bad, but I did it. Very fun and catchy theme

That was... very fun! The jumping from asteroid to asteroid was a really neat idea and the difficulty was spot-on.

Can we get a Mac/Unix/Web build of this? I'd like to play, but I don't have a windows machine.

murrayl 2012-04-25 18:27

Pretty funny game, although hard!

susanthecat 2012-04-25 18:55

This was an awesome fun game. With a fantastic name!

badlydrawnrod 2012-04-25 19:34

It gets harder and harder and then you die. But very innovative!

nilstastic 2012-04-26 05:53

38625!
Nice work on the moving from asteroid to asteroid! =)

Mac please!

arkazon 2012-04-26 18:59

Thanks for all the comments people.

I've just started looking into doing a linux version, the game is written in c++ using allegro so it's mostly cross-platform, unfortunately I have little linux experience and don't have much time available at the moment so you could be waiting a while. Sorry I can't do a mac version since I don't have one.

Fun game ! The five blue monsters are insane.
Liked how the house fell from the planete.

divillysausages 2012-04-26 20:39

Ha, that was great fun to play

derrickdool 2012-04-26 20:40

Really liked the art style used here.

artefon 2012-04-28 03:00

Had problems running on Wine. The game got stuck :( I really wanted to try this one.

sliv 2012-04-28 12:40

Had problems running on Windows 7. The music played, but no game screen appeared.

dracir 2012-04-28 17:14

Love the idea :).
Cool game :D

mneubrand 2012-04-28 17:16

Really like the style of the monsters. Enjoyed playing it. Can get really tricky to coordinate moving and shooting but it's nicely balanced.

cakencode 2012-04-29 00:27

Jumping from planet to planet at some moments felt disadvantageous and I was wonder why I would ever move from my perfect sniping spot... then the first weapon appeared and I jumped ship to snag it.

Awesome mechanic and good incentive to keep the player moving!! Nicely done. I'd love to see you keep going with this! :)

ddrkirbyisq 2012-04-29 12:10

Surprisingly fun! Simple but actually pretty neat, the gameplay mechanics worked together well and the weapon design was mostly alright.

The teleport animation+sfx was surprisingly satisfying, and even though the "NOM" graphic is a bit silly I think it works with the general aesthetic here.

nefariouszhen 2012-04-29 15:56

Mac please seconded! =)

schizofunky 2012-04-30 17:39

Amazing entry i love it! Very cute graphics, matching sound and instantly addictive with nice simple controls! I love the powerups too! Want moar!

moonkid 2012-05-02 11:04

I liked this - it made sense, it played well and made me laugh.

jeffalisk 2012-05-02 20:17

Pretty fun stuff. Damn those hungry aliens. Damn their eyes!

jwolf 2012-05-02 20:29

Pretty fun game! The art has a nice, consistent style to it. It can get really...cluttered...at times, which was a nice touch.

ratking 2012-05-02 20:39

Nice little game, very complete and stable. :-)

barigorokarl 2012-05-07 21:00

Awesome game! Nice graphics, nice music and nice balance. It wasn't too easy but not too hard either.

robcozzens 2012-05-10 07:28

I would try it if you had a Web or OSX version.

davidwparker 2012-05-10 19:47

Looks fun, but I don't have Windows.

menderslan 2012-05-10 23:33

Pretty fun little game! I liked the "jumping around on asteroids" mechanic, and the cool weapons you could collect. Good job!

m-gryko85 2012-05-12 12:41

Cool game. I like music and how aliens when die leaves some body parts. My high score 31975 points.

jellyfame 2012-05-12 23:40

Cannot play, don't have access to windows.
