Good job !
I like your concept (: And your little robot is so cute !
Need polishing, but it's cool

Beautiful! Little robot reminds me of Eve from WallE. :D Good use of the theme as well. My energy bar never seemed to go down?

Cool stuff :) It's pretty fun to play but it doesn't have much mechanics yet (or it might just be me being stupid, hehe). The sound is a bit weird (all the bombs that suddenly go boom :p) but I thought it was pretty fun and set a good mood for the game :)

Cool! after killing all the monsters on the surface I didn't know what to do after that, how to get monsters below me.

ezolotko 2014-04-29 12:11

This is a fun game.

cirpig29 2014-04-29 12:12

Enjoed it. Unfortunately my comuter has no sound now - so I could not rate the audio.

lukepilgrim 2014-04-29 12:13

nice colours and graphics!

benjamin-soule 2014-04-29 12:16

Great idea. But It seems thant ennemies deal no damage to me ( maybe the gamedev mode ? ) . Also I was stuck 2x times because teleport didnt appear. I could finish the gam on my thierd attempt. Nice ending and nice colorful little planet :D

franklins-ghost 2014-04-29 14:12

Great style, like all the different characters and the ship crash landing is a nice intro to the game.

hippolyta 2014-05-01 12:34

Very nice game - superb presentation, beautiful graphics and fitting audio!
The gameplay is also good - the whole piece looks very polished to me... :-)

Great approach to the theme, and beautiful graphics (I love the way the planet layers are drawn) :D

Well done!

tenpn 2014-05-01 13:13

the arcing harpoon in a small round planet is a cool idea.

gettothechapel 2014-05-01 13:18

i like the concept a lot. the background looks really cool!

demonshanker2 2014-05-01 14:18

This is a really neat concept and a good play on the theme, good job!

arcturusdeluxe 2014-05-01 14:21

Really nice graphics, I like how the planet is round and you can walk around the whole thing, and going down into the various layers of the planet is cool too. Pretty fun game.

nichii 2014-05-01 14:24

Nice gameplay, it gets addictive. The robot reminds me of Eve from Wall-E XD.

blockbot 2014-05-01 14:38

Got stuck on the surface, but this has a lot of polish and smooth controls.

Lucariatias 2014-05-01 20:03

Solid, with an original mechanic. physics are good, music is good, graphics are good. Nothing is perfect, but everything is done to a high standard.
Fun to play.

eteeski 2014-05-01 20:07

Amazing art :) I also love the particle effects. Cool level with the layers. Really awesome :)

thegreentie 2014-05-01 20:18

Pretty good art! I would have liked a death screen instead of just restarting the game. But it's overall good :)

hyoga-3d 2014-05-03 02:01

Very nice art, but the gameplay could be improved a little bit, maybe you could make the gun shoot faster, nice overall.

mrleeperry 2014-05-03 04:08

Great visuals and style, and really love the circular environment. Wish the shooting was faster/more responsive and I wasn't sure if there was a goal. I got to the lower level and thought that was a great mechanic. Really slick though!

alobker 2014-05-03 08:36

Awesome game. Is there any way to regenerate health?

zorfmorf 2014-05-03 08:42

I like the direction this is going (concept, art style and music) and would love to play the polished/finished version.

Things I noticed during my playthrough
- Very often random explosion sounds while playing even when no enemies are on the screen. Takes a little bit away from the otherwise good music
- The camera position when walking makes it hart to see where I am going and often I will run right into an enemy because I can't see them coming
- Jump seems to be not working more often than not and is not high enough to be of any use (to jump over a portal f.e)
- If you play on after the first death enemies often drop several portals at once and they lead all over the map (it doesn't seem to happen on the first run so I guess that's a bug?)

sirdorius 2014-05-03 16:38

Thanks you all for the feedback. To answer some of your questions:

- no, there is currently no way to regenerate health.
- jump height is low because you can actually quadruple jump (we failed to explain that properly)

byexlusive 2014-05-03 17:20

Very Cool!

switchbreak 2014-05-03 17:44

Really great graphics, I love the art style. And the sound is pretty good. The robot is the cutest.

I had a pretty difficult time figuring out what to do, I kept hitting myself in the head with harpoons. I wasn't able to finish the game but I think I got to the last layer.

spotco 2014-05-03 23:50

Really great art, though game could have used some polish. Maybe checkpoint and health pickups?

angelk 2014-05-05 07:27

I love the character and enemy designs.

perfect-victim 2014-05-10 17:55

nice game ,love the art!

maniulo 2014-05-17 18:11

Interesting game, I think it'd much better if you could tell which teleporter goes up and which goes down; in all my playthorughs I kept returning to the top level by mistake instead of keeping going deeper.
