It seems as though the game will not start when I click on either option on the title screen.

@Maxium - it's probably the Unity web player being flakey - I've uploaded standalone builds as an alternative.

Nice particle effects. Makes me think of battle star galactica :P

This is awesome! Really fun, love the visuals, very relaxing watching the little anti-gravitons flying off ^.^

One of my favorite game of this LD, what an incredible game this is! The graphics is really nice and the idea is fresh and interesting. It is a bit hard in the beginning but I was slowly catching up with the AI. The only issue is that it does not reflect the theme too much (a little but not too much I think). But yea wow that was a great game, well done!

jackyjjc 2014-08-27 06:37

Oh one suggestion, I wish I can place down markers for future reference like what you do in mine sweeper because I can spot multiple planets at once but I have to use my fingers to mark the locations on the screen right now.

This is a fun game. It took some time to figure it out but I had lots of fun. Great game and awesome idea :)

Wow, I love everything about this game! It has space, it has physics, it has cool graphics... this is amazing, well done!

The AI might be cheating a bit, but I still managed to win! Hooray for the human race :D

Great game! Particles just beautiful! It's really fun to play with 2 players! Good job!

jackyjjc 2014-08-27 07:34

would be nice to have single player mode and see how quickly you can find all the planets

Nice game and good use of those particles :)

Nice game, congrats!

Super fun. AI is a cheater at the end.

Lovely game, would be awesome on an ipad!

Really liked the concept behind this game. It was fun to watch the particles fly around the screen and try to figure out where stuff is. Good job!

Very pretty, nice concept. Unfortunately mouse clicks are mirrored on the x axis for me, so it was very difficult to play. I don't know if this was to strengthen ties to battleship, or if it's a bug, but it doesn't seem to add anything to me.

pansapiens 2014-08-30 07:16

@dtruby - not a feature so presumably a bug (mine or Unity's). Were you using the web player version, or one of the standalone builds ?

voider 2014-08-31 04:30

loved the particles, calm music, entertaining. nice work!

veryfinestlions 2014-09-01 10:16

This is pretty great.

Hi there. Lovely graphics. Players might need to switch Tabs in browser and back to get the start menu to work... Like the sound, played a couple of games. Love the motion of the purple particles. Good job!

incd021 2014-09-07 13:18

Awesome, one of the best games. I played it again and again. :) The small planets are hard to hit ;)
It's almost like meditating ;)

cogcomp 2014-09-07 14:04

Beautiful game! Really relaxing and tricky!

timthebo 2014-09-07 14:35

Awesome game! The end took a while, though.

atkinssj 2014-09-07 14:36

Neat! I enjoyed playing against the AI, even if it was tricky to click exactly on some of the smaller planets. It looks really pretty with the little particle trails, and the music is nice and calming.

This was a really cool idea and a lot of fun to play. You should really continue to work on thus further post-jam.

gazok 2014-09-09 16:10

(same poster as dtruby) Web player or download? I think I was on Windows, so probably the web player? The linux download seems to behave itself :)
This game is a lot more fun when it works! I think it might be the best game I've played this LD. Nice work!

Thanks for your suggestions on our game! I'm getting around to working on a post-compo version. I've already implemented green planet depletion, but I hadn't thought of red planets killing you instantly - thanks :)

Nice original idea
