Hm. Couldn't figure out how to download the data folder, short of downloading the files one by one. Maybe best to package it as a zip?

joshua_s 2014-08-25 07:00

Thanks for the heads up. It should not only be now a zip file, but also the entire unity project folder!

any chance for a linux build?

well, had a lot troble with the control, and the first level. could not understend how to get points. After I get it, it was actually a lot of fun. Espetialн when you get to level two.

You should package the binary+data as a zip as well, so people can just download-unzip-run without downloading the whole source.

Fun physics game.
Left and right (A and D) feel the wrong way around - most people would expect A to be counter-clockwise and D to be clockwise. I would also expect S(/down) to stop the rocket, instead of double-pressing W(/up).

I like the wrecking-ball action you've got going here. That was actually one of the first concepts I was playing with.

Graphics are decent, get the job done.
Didn't hear any sound.

Overall good solid fun.

Hi. I like the feel of the movement, the block destruction. Graphics are great, love the planet with giant rocket.

Web, Linux, and OSX now uploaded. Thank you for your comments. I will try to get the source/data in a more manageable state.

That was really entertaining. The turning controls felt too touchy to me, but once you get to the levels where you have the tethered planet, it became a lot funner. It's not everyday you get to swing a larger planet around you like a wrecking ball and smash it into an even larger planet.

Fun physics sand box, I didn't seem to be able to turn properly anymore in the fourth level.
It's very satisfying to swing a rock into planets.

"You should package the binary+data as a zip as well, so people can just download-unzip-run without downloading the whole source. "

- at the moment, this is my only option, as the Web seems to be offline. :(

Could you ZIP up the exe and data folder into one file please? Would like to play this.

2014-08-25 14:21

Played for a non-trivial amount of time. good stuff!

joshua_s 2014-08-25 17:34

Hi Dusty do you mind telling me which version you are trying to run? A exe and data folder should be in all the system downloads.

You might want to fix your web link...

tomker 2014-08-25 18:04

You could make the background less blurry and add some details to it, but anyway it looks awesome

joshua_s 2014-08-25 18:12

Ok web link should be fixed.

Potato!

Enjoyed the moments of destruction! It's fun to play with the physics. The controls were too touchy for my taste, and I spent most of my time trying to wrangle my ship/planet into the right direction . . . but perhaps I just suck? Anyway, enjoyable game. I didn't make it as far as I'd like, but it was fun!

I thought this was fun to play with once I understood how to control. When i first started playing the game though, it was in a weird state where the menu didn't show up at first, so was a little confusing.

kirbytails7 2014-08-28 07:43

Pretty nice. I like the slight differences between stages having a good impact on the play.

incd021 2014-08-30 10:31

Controls felt mirrored, nice idea. Destroying planets is fun ;)

dusho 2014-09-05 18:41

weird controls..
