Great and innovative idea, but the graphics could be a bit improved.

zapaman 2014-08-25 06:36

Fun overall game, and great controls. The graphics are lacking a bit though. Still, will continue to play it during a work break, good job.

jtgaming2012 2014-08-25 07:46

Loved it ;)

lolwned 2014-08-25 09:03

Very fun game !

captainnakou 2014-08-25 09:07

Loved it. Fun to play. Need some better graphics (or just you need to make it more toon like, less realistic) but it's really cool!

stannellc 2014-08-25 13:30

A lot of fun! Kind of agree about the graphics, but I'm hard pressed to complain about graphics at all on a 48hr project. I'd increase the audio level on the thrust a tad.

Nice game. As said above better graphics would've been nice.

Nice puzzles! Graphics are a little not-so-beautiful, but it does not matter, because other aspects are well made.

I always hated those connect-the-points games, but this is a unique take ;). Fun to see how fast you can do them.

Took me about 20 minutes to get to this screen - http://gyazo.com/c8472b54424bd5105df738677d642d76 - loved every minute of it! Nice game, with a bit of visual improvement you have a solid project! Wicked entry

I enjoyed it! Control feeling is so good.

losttraindude 2014-08-26 09:26

The game is interesting and well built. The physics are not unbalanced as it may happen in games like this :D

I like how the music sets up a somewhat "darkish" mood.

nice audio and funny way to use the theme

Need to buy a pc for LD.

cooliron 2014-08-26 18:02

Great idea! :D Loved the ship movement. Small inertia added difficult, but it's still comfortable to control it.

xandy 2014-08-26 19:19

nice sound&music and a funny little innovative game idea that matches the theme!

The music was purely awesome ! I'd like to know what tool you used.

depp 2014-08-27 04:44

Apparently I gave up on the last screen. The sound effects are just perfect! Oh, and my game has a Windows build now, if you're still interested :-)

endurion 2014-08-27 05:16

@Marcellus: I used cgMusic and then a .mid to .ogg/.mp3 converter.

@Dietrich Epp: Thanks, I'll take a look then!

perpetualraine 2014-08-27 06:35

Awesome game! One of the few I've actually wanted to play until the very end.

datahaven 2014-08-27 09:20

Nice idea - liked the music!

ddfranky 2014-08-27 09:48

Nice game! Really simple and fun. Loved the song!

razoric 2014-08-27 14:28

Great idea, flesh it out a bit more and improve the graphics. :)

lokarunith 2014-08-27 14:40

the game is good fun! The concpet of connecting dots is not new, but I think, that since you play with a spaceship controlled with the arrow keys instead of the mouse, that if the game game had limited time, it would be really much more fun, because we would have to controll the ship at top speed trying to avoiding obstacles while thnking how to not screw up the connections.

concisebit 2014-08-27 16:57

Running this game I was keep trying to use the mouse and that is my first perception of connecting the lines. Needless to say I was being completely dumb, and the gameplay this game provide is wonderful. The control feels good - not too easy yet not too harsh. Things get really interesting with multiple colors. A combination of strategy and skills :p
Oh and the background music is nice too!

Good job

moosefly 2014-08-27 17:20

Interesting idea to mix a traditional puzzle game with a traditional arcade game to create a completely new type of gameplay! Also kudos to you for allowing me to go backwards with the spaceship, it is something that I have always wanted to do in an Asteroids-styled game :D.

The puzzles could've been harder, but nice entry nonetheless!

Very cool game. Fun and addictive. :) Could be improved to make something bigger. Good job!

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-29 17:00

Nice concept, the music is great

ethankennerly 2014-08-30 22:05

While piloting a ship between planets with a long cable and avoiding other colored cables while listening to a dramatic soundtrack, I felt attentive. If you continue to develop this, have you considered allowing mouse to target a direction to thrust toward?

rfgpfeiffer 2014-09-05 09:02

I liked the audio ans the graphics (except for the ship), but the ship was way too fast for me.

h1s2 2014-09-07 15:45

simple and funny game!

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-08 02:55

Simple but well done game. I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/_5a2Oj9U9sk

endurion 2014-09-08 08:27

@Jupiter_Hadley: Thanks!

morusque 2014-09-14 18:42

I like the idea of alternating random and predefined levels. Also the control/inertia of the ship feels just right for me.

pjchardt 2014-09-15 19:25

Well made! Music and SFX were great. Puzzles were interesting. My only gripe was that ship navigation was tedious. I almost would have preferred a mouse driven approach where the player defined curves. Either way, I enjoyed it:)
