The seeming persistence of the stuff people do is a good solution to the problem of a limited audience. While I see the realism of the spaceship controls, the momentum made it difficult for me to perform "oh that looks cool I'm going to check that out" behavior, which is how I expected to interact with the world.
Very innovative and interesting concept :)
You should improve the graphics and also polish it a bit more.
I had no idea what I was doing.. I could see there is future potential though!
the difficulty to move the spaceship detracts from the whole planet thing
Good idea. One thing I added with my game was that if the player pressed a certain button, the player's ship would slow down. I think that your game could benefit from something like that so that people can focus on visiting planets.
I really like the implementation of the theme, well done!
I think it's impressive to make an online game, but I find it a bit sad that not all the drawings are visible on the outside white planet. Nonetheless, like what you've done :)
Nice work on a networked game in such a short time, I can appreciate how insanely difficult that is! I like how the framework of the planets and needing to physically move around and explore adds a nice layer to a shared art gallery type thing. Nice work!
x=5000, y=3000 :)
Fun little game, I'll have to check back later to see more planets.
Why you no Mac?
This was fantastic, by a long way the best idea I've seen in the competition so far. Really impressive, well done!
Great work. I really love the UI for your "level creator," and it was a fun thing to play around with.
A very interesting idea to have user generated worlds, just wish I could do something in them besides just seeing them.
I LOVE the concept. I'd be interested to see what you would do with a bit more time. The Create tool could be more versatile and the shapes cover the UI, so you might have depth issues!
I was a bit confused by the game. Is it an exploration game? Cool little experiment, but I think it need something more to be a full-fleshed game.
Multiplayer aspect that actually works. Kudos for not censoring content.
Interesting work :) I found a rude policeman in it :D
Some sound would be nice ;)
Being able to create a game that supports user generated content during a Jam is impressive! I'd add some more tools to create the drawings with. I had more fun creating my drawing than exploring due to the control issues other people have mentioned.
Haha, I see I wasn't the only one with this kind of idea, similar down the title even 0.O
If anyone finds a big red heart floating out in space, that might be me ;)
WOW this is absolutely amazing! super creative...I loved to explore the planets XD. Mine is "Planet WTF" its on the bottom border somewhere XD
Interesting idea.
Drawing tools are a bit limiting but that just adds to the challenge.
This is the way art galleries should be in rl.
Have to say, while a little bizarre, fits with the theme and it's kind of fun to connect with other people's worlds. Even though I don't see other spaceships around, I do feel like other people are around making wacky worlds. Pretty cool idea!
Only problem I experienced was not seeing any cursor so I was stuck on the main screen for a bit. Other than that, it worked like a charm. (And I'm a fan of the Asteroids style flight physics.)
Steering the ship was a bit tough, but managable. As an avid Kerbaler I wished there was some gravity towards worlds, but I like the idea of a totally player generated universe.
Nice and simple idea. Well executed. Some polish, both in the graphics & sound department and edit tool options, would make it much better, but given the timeframe this is a very good entry. :)
1557, 9268 for the party!
Really cool idea on the theme. Ship movement was a bit touchy to control, and a little small, but a very cool concept and use of the theme.
I'm very impressed with the gameplay, well done.
The idea is a very interresting and innovative. However, as it stands there is not so much fun in exploring. Somehow I'm missing more game mechanics in this game.
Interesting concept. I did find the controls of the ship floaty as others have mentioned, however I felt like that was part of the charm of the experience. What struck me as I was visiting other planets is how much I would love to be able to leave messages for others, either in a given language or through created images.
