I don't have love installed, sorry. I think you should rename the download link?

smirnov48 2013-12-16 03:27

Do you can make exe file? Or Love is nesesary?

george_prosser 2013-12-16 03:45

I've now got a Windows executable up for download! Crisis averted.

I think I did more damage to earth than anything else to start with. Very nice graphics, fun little Asteroids-like. Those asteroids can be extremely hard to see on occasion. Also probably worth it to note that its mouse aim and shoot.

Neat! My only gripe is that I couldn't use WASD but I had to use the mouse!

Well done

Playing with a laptop touchpad was practically impossible, but I get the idea of the game. Would be more fun if I had a mouse. Good Job.

Amazing game! I absolutely loved it! I like that you were able to develop such a simple concept so well! This was fantastic to play :D

cdgugler 2013-12-16 03:57

I love the theme. Disappointed I couldn't save all those billions of people. :)

porglezomp 2013-12-16 03:58

Love the game! Took me a bit (second playthrough) to realize that you used the mouse to shoot. The effects were very juicy (CAMERASHAKE), especially the end. A very good entry overall.

The difficulty increases exponentially lol. Fun little game. Good work. Runs well on Linux.

Wow... that game is hard... Masses of asteroids o.O
Liked the gravity-ish effect as they speed up when they are close (doesn't make it any easier, though) - also, it's great that you can actually damage the planet with your own gun :P

The difficulty ramps up a bit too quick, but it is a great little game. It was interesting to take each shot carefully, and later just spray everything and buy time.

daanvanyperen 2013-12-16 04:15

I shot my own planet! I'm an evil man. :(

leafo 2013-12-16 06:35

pretty cool idea, got really hard. would be sweet with upgrades

javadocmd 2013-12-16 08:05

The gravity acceleration is very nicely done.

zebi24 2013-12-16 11:49

Nice use of the theme. Also pretty neat graphics. Well done. :)

Nice mecanics, control are a little bit hard and the asteroid to dark sadly, it is a bit annoying but i guess it is part of the difficulty maybe.

tijmentio 2013-12-16 12:33

Holy fking crap this is hard on my laptop whaha

sam1373 2013-12-16 12:44

Wow, the line at the end make you feel really guilty for losing...

binary_gambit 2013-12-17 00:39

friggin HARD! but very polished. Good to see more Lovers in the Ludum Dare.

josefnpat 2013-12-17 03:59

Very nice game! I like the gravity well and how you can shoot the planet yourself accidentally.

Some contrast on the asteroids and the background would have been nice, but very nice!

ekilibr 2013-12-18 13:41

I had no mouse to play. But I'll retry later. Seems like a good game !

ras-lyon 2013-12-18 17:05

I wish I could play this, but I'm a Mac user. We both went for the Only One Planet theme.

ras-lyon 2013-12-19 00:09

OK, thanks for the message. I'll look into Love2D and check out your game and rate it. I'm always up for learning about a new game software. Please return the favor!

sience 2013-12-19 08:29

The one ship idea is cool! Nice done. I'm not better than you ;).

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-20 21:08

Much harder than it looks, but it's a solid little game.

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-20 22:09

Nice. I found the controls very difficult, but the gravity effects and the quote at the end were very satisfying. Also, a very pretty game. Where did all those rocks come from!?

cakencode 2013-12-30 01:48

Wow, this got difficult very quickly! It was manageable until there were literally 30 asteroids on screen simultaneously. Still pretty fun, the arrow keys were both intuitive and extremely unintuitive depending on which side of the planet you were on. I like that you can shoot the planet yourself, definitely one of the first things I tried :)
