Simple & fun with cool graphics and a original challenge: perfect little game :D

graebor 2014-08-26 02:34

Awesome! My new favorite! Really slick visuals, fitting audio, controls feel perfect, and it's quite an original idea (at least to me). I just wish the debris was either less bright or cleared itself away quicker, it got kind of distracting as things picked up.

taocayo 2014-08-26 03:15

I love this one! Great job. Lots of fun, very pleasing graphics and a greta concept.!

mrexcessive 2014-08-26 08:27

Hi there. Absolutely gorgeous design, sound and movement/controls. Unfortunately I suck at reaction time, so couldn't get very far, but it is brilliant looking - wish I could play it better... will get my sons to try later. Bookmarked - thank you for this, best feeling game. I've seen so far, very professional presentation.

Super fun to play and it looks and feels very polished. Original gameplay mechanic and smart use of the theme, too! Amazing entry.

ludipe 2014-08-26 10:52

Simple design, yet beautiful and really fun. It's also very polished.

Well done!

primaerfunktion 2014-08-26 11:05

This really fun. Simple and challenging. Cool game!

kewry 2014-08-26 11:09

Beautiful looking game with really fitting music. The controls feel amazing

managore 2014-08-26 12:04

Wow this is really good! A really simple idea executed perfectly!

albertosm 2014-08-26 12:36

Simple and effective! Love the glow effect and the ethereal aesthetic :)

macocco 2014-08-26 14:02

Really challenging but fun minigame! I only was able to collect 8 stars in one run though. You should release this as an app for mobiles!

foobraco 2014-08-26 14:07

Great choice of concept and awesome graphics, looks very polished!

crocantidepollo 2014-08-26 14:10

Simple concept, flawless execution, super fine quality design. What's more to say... Amazing work!

elliottd 2014-08-26 14:47

great game, wonderful degree of polish.

igoramendola 2014-08-26 15:41

Challenging and addictive! I'm still getting used to the controls, but I think it's matter of time to get a better score. Polished art and great sounds. Nice work!

chamberlainpi 2014-08-26 16:44

Very challenging! Gets difficult pretty fast (early enough in the game too) but still a game I'm better at than Flappy Bird! Neat graphics too, looks like some special shaders were used.

atkinssj 2014-08-26 16:58

How do you always make such polished games in jams!? I continue to be very impressed. Can't stop playing it now. My best score is 23, which was probably a fluke. :D

atkinssj 2014-08-26 16:59

How do you always make such polished games in jams!? I continue to be very impressed. Can't stop playing it now. Right now, I'm in 1st place, which must be some kind of fluke. :P

local-minimum 2014-08-26 17:17

First couple of rounds I was sure I would never get better than a score of two. Then all of a sudden I got three and from there it was a small step to 30.

I like the fracturing of the asteroids and all the mess the shards make. The glow on your planet's shards when you die.

One thing that could have been nice would have been to have the star not rotate as fixed around one of its arms. Maybe also to have stars disappear if player takes too long before collecting them. (Look at me suggesting making the game harder)

capsizedmoose 2014-08-26 17:22

simple, fun, great graphics and sound. this is a 5 star for me ;)

xaychru04 2014-08-26 17:46

The gameplay feels smooth and polished, I like the graphics style and the music is relaxing. Online scores adds a lot of replayability to the game, I got first place with 44 stars! ^^
Really cool game!

thomassand 2014-08-26 22:46

I really enjoyed my time in this game, the way you rotate with planets, the way they explode. The details make the difference and its a very nice work. A serious challenger !

somepx 2014-08-27 10:28

The quality of your games never disappoints me, congratulations! A perfect game, that deserves to be published - on mobile w/ touch controls maybe? Boom! ;)

vctr_seleucos 2014-08-27 12:24

Really, really good. Loved it! Simple, funny, challenging. This game is awesome! Love the graphics and the music, simple, cute and effective. Really nice work!

nickzangus 2014-08-27 13:09

Extremely well done!

romko_pidstryhach 2014-08-27 13:21

This one is extremely awesome! Great graphics, great sound. Very polished game. Saved

chrisgaudino 2014-08-27 16:02

Everything about this game is awesome.

wdebowicz 2014-08-27 16:16

People are making advertisement of your game on twitter and that's how I found it. This is on of the best theme's interpretation that I saw in this LD. Gameplay graphic and audio, makes me "Come on play again".

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-08-27 16:22

Awesome graphics and animations

fallingbear 2014-08-27 16:39

Great visuals catchy tune, very addictive little game. One of the best out there. Awesome job. :O

0x0961h 2014-08-27 17:21

This. Is. Amazing. Core mechanic is simple, but oh my gosh, try to get at least 5 points. Graphics are superb, music is perfect. Stylish and very cool. Great job! :)

P.S. I guess rogueNoodle found himself in making simple and sadistic games: Stasis at first, now Binary System. Can't wait to see your next sadi... game... I meant game... :D

berail 2014-08-27 18:04

Siple fun and nice to eye :D ! good job i like it :D

gameproducer 2014-08-27 18:37

Excellent small game. So simple rules, but controlling two objects made all the difference.Very well done. I believe this could be turned into a great mobile game too... if you can think of good controls.

Btw, to me UP & DOWN should have been just the opposite. I do not know why :)

kerdelos 2014-08-27 19:01

This game is neat ! And I got the 4th best score, so proud of me !

cacciatc 2014-08-27 19:15

This was a lot of fun and hard!

jishenaz 2014-08-27 19:21

The graphics and shaders are unbelievable! Nice audio too. The controls are perfect in my opinion. This is a keeper.

malf 2014-08-27 19:33

Fun game , great graphics!

ponk 2014-08-27 19:43

Nice graphics, super fun and effective game!
Great job!

dragonxvi 2014-08-27 19:47

Great visuals, nifty idea, good difficulty, all good!

bvanschooten 2014-08-27 21:32

I've used a very similar concept in my own game, and by now have seen several others. But this one is definitely the one with the best graphics and sound! I prefer using the mouse to control the planets, as that would mean less challenging controls (for me at least) and more room for making the game challenging in other ways. This would also make it more suitable for touch screens. The game ran fine in Linux, thanks for including a Linux port.

travischen 2014-08-27 21:34

Amazing. My favorite game so far!

eatsleepindie 2014-08-27 21:47

All around amazing game. Love the mechanic, the art is incredible, sound fits perfectly but isn't distracting. Can't throw enough praises your way!

xenosns 2014-08-27 23:16

A true roguenoodle game, deceptively simple mechanics that are hard to master. Nice homage to Asteroids. Like the glowly teal/purple. Great job!

skiddings 2014-08-27 23:18

Very nice little game!

mlabarca 2014-08-28 00:51

Such a cool game! Love the graphics and the music, and it's a lot of fun to play. Great job!

adamharte 2014-08-28 04:51

Very nice game. Congrats. Love the look and feeling of the game. Controls take a few seconds to get used to, but then it is magic! Super fun! :)

stevesalmond 2014-08-28 08:43

Awesome work dude :D

gnutek 2014-08-28 11:33

Great graphics, nice music, pretty hard :)

mlinus 2014-08-28 17:56

Fun idea and nicely implemented. :D It was pretty hard but it got a bit easier when I started to control one thing with the left hand (in/out) and the other with the right (rotate). :D

Well done! :)

dickpoelen 2014-08-29 18:20

That's just a very well done game. Great chunky graphics!

iamspencer 2014-08-30 00:25

that was beautifully executed. well done. audio and graphics matched each other pretty well and were very nice. Great job! :)

twoscoopgames 2014-08-30 00:57

Now this is awesome, super simple and fun but difficult to master. Easy controls and you feel really good when you start getting a good rhythm or flow going. I love the mood, the audio and colors really help with that! The art style is great as always from rogueNoodle. Great job!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-08-30 07:33

Well executed, simple yet addictive and super polished as always...
What more to say?? :D

hypnohustla 2014-08-30 07:49

Really good little arcade game. Great graphics and controls. Great job! :)

rlangewi 2014-08-30 18:07

This is great, very polished with a simple and fun mechanic. Good job!

dunin 2014-08-31 08:43

nice packaged game and really good music.

rfgpfeiffer 2014-08-31 10:56

I love how polished and juicy this game feels.

gfm 2014-08-31 20:41

Lots of particles everywhere. *-*

Nice game! :)

fussycashew 2014-08-31 23:43

Super rad! Very slick all around, however the particles can really cloud up the screen, maybe a max particle count and shorter lifespan.

nuclearnapalm 2014-09-01 05:57

Nice! At some point avoid asteroids become a real challenge! Good job!

larzan 2014-09-01 12:50

Wow, great style, veeeeery difficult to play. Like it!

xandy 2014-09-01 14:53

nice simple arcade game that fits the theme well!

guimonpa 2014-09-02 12:00

Great game, it looks really polished, simple and challenging.

snicklodocus 2014-09-04 20:59

This was really great. I loved the graphics style, and the audio really complements it. I've played another game with the same mechanic this LD, but I think this is better balanced and polished. Good job!

rantt 2014-09-05 03:02

This is really fun. It's a lot harder than it looks. I really liked it, great job.

vividhelix 2014-09-07 04:16

Awesome idea, hard little game!

adriczero 2014-09-07 13:56

Fun game. I did find it difficult though. Since having the two connected planets made avoiding asteroids 2x more difficult. I liked the music a lot.

artamus 2014-09-07 16:13

Nice game, congrats!

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-07 18:46

Amazing game, as always. I included it in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/ljAqElzAd_Q

dustyroom 2014-09-09 09:25

Great entry! The only thing I would change is darken the asteroids debris once they collide. The scattered debris is too bright and makes it difficult to see other asteroids.

xanjos 2014-09-10 00:39

This is actually pretty addictive once you get used to the controls. Really great take on the theme and an amazing soundtrack.

sephyka 2014-09-11 15:48

Simple but efficient gameplay. Very well polished-game. Perfect playability. Good design!

lokarunith 2014-09-11 18:55

Very polished and fun, I think this could sell well in a mobile phone market

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-12 12:28

Simple but effective. Nice game ^^.

radmars 2014-09-15 01:17

Wow, really well executed game on every level - the music is especially awesome. My only complain is that the explosion debris is pretty visually confusing at first.

commodorekid 2014-09-15 22:33

I'm not a fan of this kind of casual games, I like to get into the game with a lot of user interaction and story (it's obvious from our entry I guess) but I think for a casual game it's really clean, simple and it works. I can see this as a mobile game, if you haven't done it yet you can consider doing.
