nice graphics and good concept.

soulrot 2014-04-28 22:38

A relatively simpel concept, but a lot of fun to play nonetheless. Visually pleasing and the music fits the game very well!

dannyg59 2014-04-28 22:41

Absolutely fantastic! great play on earths crusts and stuff

dannyg59 2014-04-28 22:42

Absolutely fantastic! great play on earths crusts and stuff. Thought the graphics and audio were great and the gameplay was really fun. Will share with friends!

split82 2014-04-28 22:45

The concept and music was quite depressing, otherwise great mood, audio and graphics :) Nice job!

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 09:07

Good job,
It's a nice concept !
The sounds and graphics are really cool !

brogrammers 2014-04-29 09:09

is there a way to regain energy or is it just that you have a limited amount of projectiles per run? nice game anyways (:

dminsky 2014-04-29 09:19

@brogrammers, yep, you are limited by 5 projectiles per game. Thanks for feedback!)

nxt 2014-04-29 10:32

Fresh and fun mechanic

degtyarev 2014-04-29 10:40

Finally you've added gameplay aka avoid the obstacle) Like the atmosphere and polish. Thx for realworld gathering)

matheod 2014-04-29 10:45

Really nice sound and graphics. My record : 3164562500

Seem hard to kill everybody oO

dartsdev 2014-04-29 10:50

Nice game, fairly simple but fun.

matheod 2014-04-29 10:53

3924003905 :D

Okay I starting to know how to kill everybody :D

2014-04-29 10:55

Молодцы, в последний момент запилили геймплей. не хватает кнопки рестарт. супер дизайн, концепт музыка и красивый код!

zeta 2014-04-29 12:02

Wow this game is really well polished and the concept is great. I really love the animation of the volcano forming.

Great work

biggianthead 2014-04-29 12:56

Excelent concept. Please finish this. :)

lajos 2014-04-29 14:48

Looks awesome. Fun game!

suurin 2014-04-29 14:49

Very cool..everything. Really enjoyed this one a lot.

curiousexpedition 2014-04-29 14:51

Really liked the graphics and the clean look of it. The general perspective reminded me of our own game. :) Gameplay is easy to understand and pick up. Would be cool to add some variation, like being able to recharge your powers depending on if you hit planes for example. I think the idea has potential.

blockbot 2014-04-29 15:08

Wow, made me feel really weird. Great concept and polish, totally addicting.

kbm0 2014-04-29 15:40

Wow, the gameplay was amazingly fresh and innovative. Great use of theme, soundtrack and art were also very good. One of the best I've played!

actionremix 2014-04-29 16:19

This fits the theme better than any other, I think. Something powerful lurks beneath the surface.

crabman 2014-04-29 17:02

6351999912. Where are the last 88 hiding? >_O

gamertaters 2014-04-29 19:43

Great visuals and fun to play. :D Really enjoyable. :D

thelastbanana 2014-04-29 22:56

Nicely polished and an interesting concept. I wish there was a restart button -- if you mess up once while trying to get "Kill 'Em All," you have to give up and try again.

conormn 2014-04-29 22:58

Nicely done, tho this did freak me out a bit since I need to fly on a plane tomorrow :)

arcturusdeluxe 2014-04-29 23:14

Pretty cool idea. Simple but effective. I really like the atmosphere on show here, very moody and oppressive. The presentation in general is top notch. Nice!

miwuc 2014-05-01 08:41

Great graphics, simple and intuitive gameplay, and great use of the theme.
Although it's a bit disappointing that the only way to kill everybody seems to be to wait for them to commit suicide by volcano. Even then, I didn't manage to kill everyone. Apparently 209 people live in the countryside or something, since all the cities showed "Punished", and no planes flying anymore.
I couldn't figure out how to get "mega vulcano" either (I tried firing several volcanos in the same place, next to each other, and not missing any of them).

papygaragos 2014-05-01 09:55

The audio, art, gameplay and theme all feet so well together... brilliantly designed and executed. Good job!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-01 10:20

We almost had the same idea!!! At least we have the same view :) Great little game, I like the presentation. Nice work!

saintheiser 2014-05-01 11:27

Like the concept =)
Very adictive game at all.
Its a good job, man!

flavio 2014-05-01 13:59

Very beautiful and addictive ! 5/5. But I just ended up like Crabman with 88 mysterious survivors...

seconddimension 2014-05-01 17:20

Very well polished game with good graphics and sound, well done.

aaronjbaptiste 2014-05-01 18:15

Amazing, such a dark feel. Very well executed.

dminsky 2014-05-01 19:21

@Crabman, @miwuc, @flavio and many other who have issue with survivors, sorry for that, it's my bug. @miwuc getting "mega vulcano" is simpler than you think)

miwuc 2014-05-01 22:16

Ha, indeed, I never realized that you could use more energy for single volcano :)

asotelo94 2014-05-02 07:55

Very fun game! Specially liked the achievements. Hard to get.

wdebowicz 2014-05-05 10:50

One of the top entry! Great concept, great mood!.

katamori 2014-05-05 11:27

The 100th game I rate in LD29.

Great concept, I expcted a little bit more content.

snoother 2014-05-05 12:06

Music really consolidated that powerful, earth-shaking feel. Concept was perhaps a bit underdeveloped -- could have had different levels or a larger planet -- but it was nevertheless very fun to play. Regardless of the premise, I felt evil for what I was doing. Congrats.

rincewind_cz 2014-05-05 14:33

Pretty solid entry! I enjoyed this, great concept and interpretation of theme.. It was hard for the first time, but then it's just pure fun.. Didn't actually managed to kill'em all.. last 19 people was in plane when their last city exploded :-/ I hope they enjoyed that orgy for repopulating their planet...

lightsoda 2014-05-05 17:28

Pretty simple but enjoyable gameplay. Nice graphics and audio. Overall pretty well done!

zerkruemler 2014-05-05 18:50

Huuuuu... the earth strikes back. Nice idea and implementation. Also the changing popuplation with the planes is a good idea and makes the game more dynamic.
Fantastic soundtrack.

mcapraro 2014-05-06 05:29

nice idea and mechanic

darke_shard 2014-05-06 08:50

Wow, I thought this was just a simple blast'em game with an annoying timing mechanic until I realised the population fluctuated based on the airplanes. There's more depth here than I realised, no pun intended! The music and the graphics really set the mood to this game.

godeatgod 2014-05-06 20:46

Incredibly simple and effective concept, also i love the atmosphere.

mustaine 2014-05-07 04:09

I think this is my favorite game thus far. Great use of the theme, simple, challenging, great audio, and unique mechanics. Love it.

goerp 2014-05-08 15:50

It took me while to figure out that the planes were not potential targets but moved the people.
After that I had mo0re fun playing this game.

Very nice take on the theme and easy to play with nice graphics.
Enormous scores! (sometimes to big to fit in the screen if I'm not mistaken?)

michelfontes 2014-05-13 00:49

A-WE-SOME.

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-05-13 03:49

Neat game. Took me a second to realize i was supposed to shoot past the crust. Fun once I got into it.

Nice entry!

jorgemoag 2014-05-14 14:04

it's very funny but I dont know if I can get more earth power, is it possible? Aynway, very good entry!
