Really enjoyed this wee game. I think mixing up the planets and potatoes more so that the obstacles dont all appear together at the start of the level would help add variety. Great game, thanks!

+1 for tagging [Unity web player]... too bad I can't play it on Linux. I like your screenshots... "lost in space...again" hehe

The only problem I had with this game is that my orbits were perfect ellipses, so the logic I have learned from playing far too much Kerbal Space Program kinda made it harder for me.

Interesting, great potential.

This is very impressive for 16 hours. Not only is it polished all except for level transitions, it also seems like an actual game, unlike my entry.

Really good fun! I kept getting lost in space though.

i found this one very enjoyable - great job with the gravity physics (especially the interaction of gravity fields between multiple planets), and groovy music. Overall, very polished and well executed. Good job my friend.

When I actually figured out the controls, I really enjoyed this game.
Loved the smilies on the planets.

Minuses: annoying music and maybe could've been a bit more zoomed out?
And why the player wants to destroy planets, when the player dies if being in naked space too long... beats me :D

But the thing that matters, played for a good while, as it was real fun!

A bit confusing how the jumping worked at first. It also seemed liked the planets furthest away had the strongest pull on the player. But the presentation was nice, and it was pleasing when I managed to thread a jump through a densely packed pack of space spuds. :)

cool, Linux version works for me on Fedora17 (dunno what's holding back the Unity browser plugin, then). Played to level 11 before I got bored. Gets interesting around level 5 when you can't get to that one lone planet because a bunch of other planets (and potatoes) are pulling you the other way :)

really cool idea. felt the game was a little too easy but other than that good job !

Really nice game, excellent work for 48 hours.

That's a very, very neat game you got there. Loving the idea of using gravity like that. Also, looks neat.

The graphics are quite nice. I enjoyed playing the game very much. I think the levels would be a bit more interesting, if they were more "2-dimensional", since they seem to be a single chain of objects. Although very nice entry!

Nice game. The gameplay its really original and the graphics looks nice. Sometimes the orbits works weird, but other than that its really good.

kgs0142 2013-05-02 06:57

Nice idea,
Simple yet challenging!
Good job! :p

Nice game. Graphics look neat and funny :D

aeveis 2013-05-02 22:10

Pretty fun, could figure out how to play without the instructions which was nice.

eatenalive3 2013-05-02 22:11

Fun! It got annoying that the planets take 1-2 seconds to be able to destroy, since sometimes it means waiting for another orbit to be able to go to the next planet, but that was fine ;P

Enjoyable game.

tozy 2013-05-05 16:10

Good game! A minimap to see the whole level at all times would be useful to avoid potatoes.

aquilicoco 2013-05-06 14:45

Good work!

sebastian 2013-05-15 17:21

I love the style!

Cool game!, love the gravity effect, reminds me Angry Birds Space
