Very fun! I love the sound design, beginning text, and the main gameplay xD. Very well done! Visual design is spot on too. It's very tight <3

Cooooooool.

Interesting game! I failed to do my world justice, but I had fun failing to save it at least. :)

m0n0quartz 2013-12-16 17:16

Wow, nice game, I really like the concept of being on a small planet - Graphics are sought and neat, good job !

zhugolaf 2013-12-16 17:33

very good game !

lofe09 2013-12-16 17:58

I really like this game, great job :)

kayz 2013-12-16 18:02

Black holes have consumed every star and every planet. Except for all the stars sparkling in the background :). Love your art style and humor.

coblynau 2013-12-16 18:07

If this doesn't win at least one category then someone is joshing with me. Seriously, you excel in this game. Well done on every level!

cwkx 2013-12-16 18:09

Love the intro, audio, and the art is fantastic, especially when in motion. C++/SFML -> .exe makes it a little less portable, try to compile with emscripten? Maybe make enemy spawning a bit more predictable. 5/5/4/5/5/5/5/5 Great!

xaychru04 2013-12-16 18:13

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate this!

@KayZ: Haha I know, but I didn't want the background to be empty... Oh wait, you're wrong, the stars in the background look like they were billions of year ago, because the light isn't coming instantly! :)

xaychru04 2013-12-16 18:25

@cwkx: I never tried emscripten, I don't know if it's compatible with SFML... I'll have a look at it when I got time!

timtipgames 2013-12-16 18:52

Love it! Spent at least one minute enjoying the fact that I can run into my own bullets by inverting my direction ;)

soy_yuma 2013-12-16 22:06

Neat game! I love the graphics and the wall of text! :-)

voider 2013-12-17 03:16

shatley123 2013-12-17 05:44

This was a great game. Best game i've played so far. All 5 stars...because really when i think about it, it was all great.

jaymeemak 2013-12-17 06:33

Wow, this is some really nice visual design! I liked the humorous intro, the gameplay is straightforward and easy to grok, and the audio does an excellent job at supporting your visuals, gameplay and mood. This is a coherent and really enjoyable entry. Good job!

bradleysmith 2013-12-17 14:38

Gorgeous pixel art, really impressive for just 48 hours! :)

mortl8324 2013-12-17 17:18

The graphics really shine here. :D

jellycakes 2013-12-17 17:28

Really cool entry. The mechanics were definitely interesting and it's very addictive to play. The music was also very FUNKY. Really nice work, well done.

adventureislands 2013-12-17 18:43

Great art, music and gameplay! Fun and challenging. Overall really well done. Love the pixel art.

atomicvikings 2013-12-18 16:27

awesome graphics, gameplay, music, sound effect. it feels so satisfying to shoot stuff. animation is amazing. really awesome game!

archaeometrician 2013-12-18 16:53

Great job ! The graphics is nice and the music is awesome ! Amazing !

norgg 2013-12-18 18:18

So smooth. Loved the little touches like the icey patch.

zkenshin 2013-12-18 20:40

Really nice entry, well done, loved the art. :)

roguenoodle 2013-12-18 23:27

Man, that art style is awesome - like, pixelart, but more fluid or something. Hard to explain, but I loved the look. Gameplay was really fun too :)

ghostinthesoft 2013-12-19 18:32

Very good game, one of my favorites. I love the graphics.

tobbez 2013-12-20 17:54

Like the game, the different monsters and ships are interesting, graphics was nice and music was nice. Kind of wondering where my universedestroyingpowers went after the intro but who knows.

There doesn't seem to be any drawback from shooting all the time, navigating upside down is quite difficult and sometimes the planetdestroyers fire a bit too quickly. The sound made when a new letter appeared in the intro was quite annoying.

Overall a nice game with some room for improvement.

vikingjonathan 2013-12-20 22:05

Cool game, I love the graphics and the music.

rnlf 2013-12-20 22:44

Sound designed matches the game perfectly (diddledeed-did-deed!). Very much fun!

chiguireitor 2013-12-20 23:59

Excellent game. This game is already production ready. Fiddled a little with the shader to alter it :-D would be nice to include a CRT shader too ;)

ithildin 2013-12-21 00:33

Impressive! Graphics and audio are awesome, one of the best entries in the Compo categories for sure. Gameplay is fun, too, and the intro text made me laugh when I reached the end.

Amazing work!! :D

ointment 2013-12-21 17:18

The difficulty curve is spot on, I can tell this was playtested enough. I appreciate the spherical coordinate physics, it just could use some kind of a reminder of which direction is relatively left and right. Props for being able to shoot horizontally, vertically -and- diagonally.

In addition, it looks and sounds alright, too bad you used that terrible font and sfxr blips.

wojworks 2013-12-21 20:40

Very fun game. I wish the player had more than one hit to die though. I feel a bit cheated when I die.

smirnov48 2013-12-21 22:30

Very good game. Very difficult, dynamic and fast.

johnnysix 2013-12-22 00:06

Awesome work, loved the especially pixellated pixel effect, the music rocked and the game was tough and addictive. Bonus points for palm trees. :D

psychomonster 2013-12-22 03:09

AWESOME! AWESOME... best game played so far. cool artworks... nice planet and gravity thing... cooldiffrent enemies... nice story! Enjoyed that really man! Cool Audio tooo!

pomb 2013-12-22 07:53

Rad game, Really cool mechanic, awesome graphics and groovy music, good job.

xanjos 2013-12-22 15:30

Really fun and addictive and the introduction text was hilarious.

jishenaz 2013-12-22 18:04

It seems I'm the only one that got a blue screen of death while playing this game. It occurred during the intro text. Using Windows 8.1.

After restarting the computer and trying again, the game is all black, but still plays sounds.

ViliX 2013-12-22 19:31

Funny game with lovely graphics :)

d__adee 2013-12-23 06:44

FUN! Quite addicting too. The art is really awesome! :D
I easily get confused though with controls, if only the robot faces the direction of where it's shooting too, not just when it moves.

But it's a pretty solid polished game. Good job!

xaychru04 2013-12-23 10:04

Thans everybody for playing my game and giving feedback!

@Jishenaz: Huh... I never tried my game on windows 8 and I won't be able to, so I don't know what causes the problem, sorry... :/

alchiggins 2013-12-24 03:39

Got a score of 1440 on my best run.
Overall well done entry. Pretty sick.

jishenaz 2013-12-26 03:26

I was able to test the game on Windows 7. Runs perfectly. Really cool graphics and gameplay! I love walking around little planetoids. :)

xaychru04 2013-12-26 09:11

@Alex Higgins: Thanks for playing, my best score is 11560! :p
@Jishenaz: Haha thanks! :)

gfm 2013-12-26 20:41

Really fun game! The graphics are great!

jimmypaulin 2013-12-27 17:41

This was great fun! I absolutely loved the intro text, that was really funny .... this game comprises the last two LD's I took part in- Tiny World and You Are The Villain, coincidence? Lovely sounds and graphics, and funky music - compelling!

atridas 2014-01-01 13:13

Couldn't find the key to shoot, so I had to rely on gameplay video to score. I liked it very much, anyway!

xaychru04 2014-01-02 22:28

@jimmypaulin: Thanks for playing! I didn't took part in the two LDs you mentionned though! :p
@Atridas: There is a readme in the archive, but I think an ingame indication about how to shoot/move would have been better, readme files don't work well on LDs... :/

nyrrrr 2014-01-05 02:58

very fun and very nice-looking :) great job mate! :)
