very nice atmosphere you got going on.

josefnpat 2012-08-27 20:26

Damn, I wish I could play this game. Running linux, and no Unity 4.0 :(

commanderstitch 2012-08-27 20:53

Could use a speed boost. Saturn, why you have no rings? Solarsytem/milkyway/where am i? :D When i run into a "planet" it spins me out of control. :)

Loved the music, it sounded like an episode of the Twilight Zone :) Great visuals too.

pjchardt 2012-08-27 21:16

Agree with others, I love the music and atmosphere. Wish there were interesting things on the planets to see so I could feel a sense of surprise and reward for getting there.

Great game, didnt see much evolution, but really something!

brassawiking 2012-08-27 21:25

I think I can sum it up into WTF did just happened =) It turned really weird in a artsy way at the end haha. Since it was so long I got tired of crashing in case that I had to do it all over again.

@josefnpat i'm sorry for that. The flash version of the game seems to doesn't work normaly.
@commanderstitch there is a problem with the collisions, and i didn't have the time to fix it.
@others thanks a lot.

Making a 3d game for that of competition is a difficult challenge. Well done!

savethejets1 2012-08-28 01:54

The Camera is neat, I really like the textures on the planets.

Shuttle could use a speed burst or something. That might ruin the atmosphere though. Anyways good stuff!

Great atmosphere but the game is a bit long/slow. My problem is I went pretty far and then, while looking for an hypothetic boost, I pressed Enter and had to replay it for the beginning. What about a small confirmation screen for ifiot people like me ?

Cool graphics, not sure what the objective was though? I flew into a planet and my spaceship went nuts

raroadkill 2012-08-28 17:17

I wish it was faster. Like maybe each ring you hit increases your max speed. I like the idea, and a tricky thing to put together so quickly.

fredericrp 2012-08-28 20:21

A slow game (but that's in purpose I think ?) and I didn't know what to do after going through rings (did I miss one of them ?). On a mac with firefox or chrome, I can't see the ship, it's hidden by its burners so hard, that's tricky to see the next ring !
Well done though, it's a big 3D game for this little time.

The music is nice, makes the game feel pretty intense.

colapsydo 2012-08-29 09:25

The music add a poetic touch, the game is almost relaxing.
It just missing some system to indicate where is the next gate when one is lost in space.

vamflax 2012-08-30 18:11

Controls are a bit... mechnical, could do with some inertia. And the camera starts eating itself after a while... But, combined with the music, it all melts into a disconcerting journey through space.

By the time I transformed I had seen enough, as it did feel like I had traveled half way across the universe myself.

Nice one!

dekart 2012-08-30 18:16

Runs very smooth, music is good, and the gameplay is pretty easy. I do like space games like this. You definitely need to make a post-ludum version of it :)

eldaryze 2012-08-31 00:33

Nice atmosphere as other people said : great job for the graphics and the audio. Anyway, I found this game really weird and I was expecting more 'Evolution' : I certainly don't understand everything...

whilefun 2012-08-31 00:37

Good music, and atmosphere. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do after I went through the blue loops. The last one I saw was right near a planet, and then I got really lost, hit a planet, and went into a death spin forever :(

rodrigomotta 2012-09-01 01:07

Great atmosphere and music. =)

hamster_mk_4 2012-09-01 03:27

Some better camera controls and some space debris would give a greater impression of movement.

matthias_zarzecki 2012-09-01 11:35

nice work implementing french keyboard-layouts!

Turning (left + right) feels a bit ..off. Is the pivot-point actuall /behind/ the spaceship?

lurkingshadow 2012-09-01 12:09

loved the mood, my keyboard seemed to use the french controls only even though it is a us keyboard.

alwaysinbeta 2012-09-01 23:23

Good music and graphics. Could have done with being a bit faster/more difficult.

tomhunt 2012-09-07 04:35

I couldn't find any evolved life forms. All I found were these strange rings floating in the middle of space.
