Aw man, I failed the first time lol the newsperson made me laugh! Fun game you guys! And nice pixelart!
Great game guys :) an interesting concept and great use of the theme. I love the sound effects for Donovan ;D
Awesome game with good humor. The Freddie Mercury joke actually made me laugh. :D
Overall a nice and simple mechanic. Addicting as hell too! I think I'll be back to play this one again. :)
Awesome gameplay concept, well executed, very polished, one of the best I've seen so far! Congrats!
Hehe good one! Liked the interpretation. At times too difficult to hit the right depth.
Amazing game! You took a popular concept and made it better and more fun! I can see a lot of work was put into this project.:)
Cool game, love the idea. Riad and Jo rulez!
P.S.: Venus is ridiculous!!!
I'm not the biggest fun of pixel art but it works with the simplicity of the game. Like the mechanic of the stability of the planet.
Very cool, loved the idea and art. Great job, guys! :)
Simple yet smart mechanics, check.
Beautiful and gameplay-friendly art , check.
Well written and fitting theme, check.
Well done mate. Well done.
Hey! Nice job! And yes, we have something common in our projects ;)
Love it! 5 stars
Pretty nice, overall.
I have to say, though, Venus is WAY too hard. Even once I found a better approach (go for 2, not 3, and stay away from the core) it still took me a while. There were a couple times I hit every pocket but still didn't have enough resources.
But still, great overall. Especially the newscaster sound effects.
I'm bookmarking this game for later :) Too bad it's so hard, there should be an easy planet at the beginning to understand the mechanics step by step. Otherwise everything is perfectly polished.
Great game. Easy to pick up but difficult to master. I'll definitely be back for more later on.
Love the art and the ship's really nice to handle. Great simple idea that works really really well.
This is great. Amazing art, love the news broadcasts, and the mechanics are solid, fun, and well polished.
Funny scenario and nice art style.
Nice concept! :) And very nice art style. I would like to be able to draw stuff like that by myself. :(
had this idea, too. very nice to see how it could've turned out. nice job!
This is great. Thumbs up.
Just wow! Great game! Fits the theme perfect have a nice abstraction of a reallife problem! Great job!
Very nice game. It all fits together so well!
Tough game, but very fun.
This is a really fun game, very good mechanics! That intro was hilarious. Great art.
Cool idea. You should drop Planetary Resources a mail about the torpedo drill :D
Great game! The concept is good and the art is nice. The newsman saying nom nom nom nom nom nom
haha this is great!
love the style!
Really enjoyed playing your game at talk & play yesterday, also would like to see the vine which you took
Nice game, and indeed venus is hard :P
Great game! Too bad I still can't finish Venus, even after trying for a long time at Talk & Play. It looks and feels great - awesome work!
Thanks everybody for the super nice comments! We're really happy with the game.
@tschery: The vine is here: https://vine.co/v/MrKZ6ApTOH0 . We also tweeted it from our game account @curiousexped :)
Well, that was a lot of fun. Mercury was hard and I stopped after a few tries of Venus, but with an entry like mine, I can hardly complain about difficulty level, can I?
The audio effects are perfect (although some a little bit jarring) and the opening title music is great, so - why is there no music ingame? :(
Some notes:
- Should be able to skip sections of the cutscenes with a click instead of the whole thing. Sometimes people just want th hear things FASTER instead of skipping totally.
- I'd have loved to have some feedback when the explosions happened: How many points? How much of this did I collect? And also: Do I still have a chance of winning this level?
All in all, fantastic entry with an amazing level of polish!
What a cool idea! Really liked it.
Great idea!!! And great minds think alike :) I really like the simple fun of the firing mechanic :) And yours is better in-game explained than mine :))
My favorite jam entry so far. 5's all through. This is polished enough to be in the market right now. Great work.
Okay, I hate Mercury now. Awesomely done! Great style and visual cohesion!
Ahahahah, the audio made me laugh a lot! Thanks for that!
The game is incredible, love it !
The concept is awesome, would have been great if the "fuel" was part of the game difficulty.
I think it is one of the best compo of the LD.
It is hard not to put 5/5 everywhere^^
Nice game, like the gameplay a lot.
Amazing execution. Loved the mechanics. Really well done :)
Very well done this game!
Complete and full of interesting details.
I had fun playing and I think it's perfect as it is ^ ^
Aw man, that intro screen with the newscaster is SWEET! Loving the gameplay, but when the planet destabilized and I didn't get to see is blow up I was SO DISAPPOINTED! Haha. I know it's not a good thing to blow up a planet (or ex-planet, since we're talking about Pluto), but still... a videogame about space mining can never have too many explosions in my book.
@TobiasW: Agree on all points. We just didn't manage to do more in the time given. Definitely something for the HD version :)
@Dooleus: Thanks, actually the whole point of the game is blowing up planets. If you didn't see the planet explode, you didn't beat the level. There are multiple levels and a small plot connecting them.
I just made that connection after playing and NOT failing the misson, haha! Fantastic game, seriously!
Awesome Game, Graphics were nice and gameplay was smooth and responsive.
WOW! This is awesome! I like the ship's dynamic, the tutu-newscast and blowing planets is fun.
Splendid idea for economic growth. Reminds me what Somanto corp. came up with.
Fun and pretty and funny I like it.
I really liked it but it was extremely hard to harvest everything in the third level. Might want to make it a bit easier.
Great entry. Liked the mechanic of drilling, avoiding blowing the planet up and the movement of the ship. Was satisfying to play.
This is so fudging brilliant.
The steering and gameplay is so simple and easy to understand.
The pixel style and premise with the news caster is really fantastic.
Good (no genius) game!
HOLY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHHH
If you read this, a billion #$%#$%'s at you for the venus level. That took me an hour...but did feel so good once I beat it. The final earth level was a nice pause (at least you didn't make it even harder :)).
Loved the game, ended up spending most of an hour to beat it. Bravo!
This is one of my favorite games of the jam! Hilarious, innovative, and damn fun. I couldn't get past Mercury yet, but it is a really cool skill game. Love the newscaster and the humor throughout. Nice work!
Loved this! Nice graphics, loved the intro sequences and pixel art. One of my favorite games for this LD.
Great original gameplay mechanics. It's simple and easy to pick up even without reading instructions.
Very cool and Polished. Easy to understand, hard to master
Nice game concept! I wish it came with music and an upgrade system. I like the sfx.
Love it! Can't wait to see more additions!
Great game, best one I've played so far. I wish there were an option to skip ahead after too many failures.
Good fun game.
Very, very, very good :D Congrats!
Dat Venus.
This is really nice :)
Cool idea and nicely polished!
Fun game, love the art, well done
Hey! Planet Corp is featured on my "favorites" post
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2014/05/04/my-favorite-ld29-games/
Great idea!!!,,, i loved it.
Really enjoyed the graphics, i want to see it in a arcade machine :D
AMAZING IN EVERY ASPECTS! Check my video for further opinion.
really fun, it was especially neat to just fly the ship around the planet at top speed ;) love the graphics too
Great game with fun mechanics.
I really liked this. I thought it was really well put together and very well polished. I think the gameplay is pretty repetitive - after a level I sort of "got it" - but that's okay. I could definitely see this being a full game and the mechanics are interesting and original as far as I know.
Well done. Thanks for sharing! :D
This entry is just awesome. Great mechanics, controls that feel good, sounds that are not a pain to the ears, a nice touch of humor, nice transitions screens...
5 star all around
Hehehe the game made me laught :D but it's a little glitchy
Best game ever:
"Earth: Don't do it."
It could do with some more rock types maybe, put 'em on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter? The best LD game so far.
Poor Pluto. Very nice game though. I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/ruvs0qoO4zU
Wow, nice game!
Awesome game! The art and the writing is really fun :D Its a great game and it fits well with theme. I had a lot of fun playing it.
Brilliant! Damn Venus to all hell though.
Really like this. Good sounds and graphics. Just wish I could fast-forward the news anchor.
And I don't think Venus is possible ;)
Simple idea, but you added enough polish to make it deeper and a lot of fun. Really nice job!
Arg. >_<
Screw venus!!! >_<
But this game is still awesome! That intro song... wow!
And nice graphics!
Really fantastic game, one of the best that I've played!
