Interesting graphics style, game play was kind of over before I knew what was going on. Audio wasn't working unfortunately

I'm not sure what just happened..
Nice use of three.js. It was a bit tough to figure out how to control things, and I couldn't seem to keep the planet alive. Are the planets procedural?, if so that's pretty cool.
@Kettlecorn: Some parts are procedural. E.g. for the "wavy" terrain (when the planet is near the point of death) I dynamically change the geometry of the terrain.
Also whole sphere is done with a vertex shader, so I can adjust e.g. the height scaling as I wish. :)
@piat: try it in chrome ;)
nice concept! it took me a while to figure out which direction i was going in - maybe the player mesh could have been an arrow shape or something? there were a few graphical glitches/odd perspectives but i think it is a nice concept, and i really liked the procedural changes. it worked really well in my browser. well done!
I wonder how you created the human squashing sound... ;)
@ZYXer: beer
The control works well but the game seems a little buggy. Sometimes I start and the stars are overlayed with a big white box. It was completely silent. I was able to move around but I have a feeling that the game makes more sense with sound.
Cool stuff, I particularly like the idea of navigating by the stars, though I can't say I got familiar enough with the constellations to do it. Is there a way to not die? Fun just to spin around the globe and smush guys anyways.
Audio also didn't work for me, and I'm using Chrome.
Such a weird game! :D Had fun running over the destroyers. The graphics were a bit glitchy but I didn't let that bother me :)
Interesting. Very strange. Not sure I quite knew what was going on.
Took me a wee while to work out what was going on but had fun once I realised what was what. :D
I tried a few times, but I honestly have no idea what was going on and what I was supposed to be doing.
I found it very very hard to get a sense of how many enemies are on the planet... moving is quite awkward with no discernible "front" of the ship. Would also love to have start button instead of having to refresh the page and just jump right in.
