Very clever design. I liked the tunneling aspect!

Wow, this game is actually very fun! And kudos to enfyrneaux for the tunnelling comment. It comes in handy.

Enemies have the perfect level of persistence. The longer I try to ignore them in favour of finishing off the last little island on earth, the more of a problem they become.

The only complaint I have from a gameplay perspective is enemy spawn location; it appears to be completely random, so if you're unlucky an enemy will spawn on/right next to you for some quick damage.

It's very fun though - I found myself playing through it multiple times

You can continue to shoot even after dead. The concept is neat, though I agree it doesn't feel good to have an enemy spawn on top of you while you are kiting everyone else.

@Monxcleyr Productions good catch, I never thought to try shooting while dead.

@awppy Yeah, it probably would have been a good idea to implement some sort of minimum safe radius around the player where they can't spawn.

Difficult and very fun! It reminded me of Curiosity, but in a good way :P

Well balanced and fun

As said above the difficutly is perfectly balanced.
Pretty fun game to play.

And with the destruction of earth, universe is finally mine.. wait, what?

Simple but fun. Nice idea, thanks to regeneration of the world game is chalenging.

Yay, square earth. Good fun.
Didn't realise I could kill enemies at first, ended up dodging loads of bullets.

strong99 2012-12-19 20:37

With the Earth destroyed the universe is mine? :0 I didn't notice the planet regenerated until it was too late :P haha, took some time ^^ Fun game :)

Fun little game.

nice game.
I was a little confused at first when the land started to regenerate, but it made the game more interesting and harder to win.

good job.

That was so hard, but I did it!

My strategy was to first dig a tunnel to the center of the world, then repeatedly circle it, avoiding enemy bullets until I destroyed it all.

Experienced some slowdown toward the end which really added to my anxieties!

In the future you might want to write shorter game descriptions. Most of that information isn't necessary to enjoy the game!
