I never did manage to crash my meteor satisfyingly into the planet earth, but it was fun trying! ;)
Very hard, but pretty cool!
This is a very different game, and I like the idea a lot. Watching the meteors approach earth while the small green turret tried desperately to defend it was quite fun.
But to be honest, I felt more like an spectator to the game than a player. I didn't manage to make a single meteor that I was controlling hit earth -- all the meteors that hit earth were by the computer. It was pretty to watch, but I didn't felt I was helping much.
Also, I know that in the space no one can hear you scream, but it would be nice to hear a satisfying "Crunch" or explosion every time a meteor hit the earth. Maybe some cries of despair? :-D
Nice little detail with the news ticker at the bottom!
Congrats on your first LD and your quite original idea!
Looks great! Feels like avoiding the laser is based on luck, near the planet, though.
@caranha You are right, I did not manage to make the meteorite control as satisfying as I had imagined. I thought on making you able to "shoot" the meteors on a direction, making it uncontrolable, but faster.
Ran out of time. :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Really enjoyed this one :)
Lovely idea! Also like the shadow-effects :)
Movement is bit wonky, as in "how do I move forwards". I move sideways, but "forward" (away from camera) seems impossible.
(Remember to upload the source, so it actually counts :)
Really interesting idea, with lots of nice touches. Not really sure whether it's better to try to guide meteors home or fling as many as possible at the Earth simultaneously.
So hard, but cool!
The news messages that appear below are super fun :D
This is a pretty fun idea. I'd love to see this get a little more fleshed out and balanced. Right now it's difficult, but certainly not impossible. An enhanced presentation would make this a really addictive game.
Very fun game, seriously. It's also fun just stay looking at screen how earth is shooting you. And that news are awesome :_D
Man, this is great! So much fun!
Getting past that laser is impossible, a better idea would be to head the meteors to the moon and knock it out of orbit, lets see the laser deal with the moon coming toward the earth.
Fun game and I loved the messages. Terraria players crafting phaseblades HA!
Good fun!
Wow, this game is gorgeous fun and creative,...also hard :D
Would've loved more options to thwart Earth defenses, but I think that's just a testament to how compelling the game scenario was. First time I think I've ever pitied a meteor...
