Really good! I liked the walking sound effects, and the movements was really fun, good work!

I enjoyed the way you gain velocity going around the planet, but it was difficult to control.

This was right up my alley. Lots of fun, short and succinct, cool gravity fun. Thought I was stuck in Lagrange a couple of times but I slowly fell back down the well. Love it

Nice gameplay, the jumping can feel a little delayed and clunky. Nice atmosphere too.

rawbosaurx 2014-08-26 17:24

Very original idea! Artwork and gameplay are both outstanding. A little hard to hit the enemies with the laser, but whatever, I like a good challenge. Also when I landed upside down on a planet, I kept walking around upside down until I used the jetpack to flip back. Just nitpicking tho ;)

running and jumping between planets felt alien and
great. I culdn't kill anny evil eyes though.

porglezomp 2014-08-26 18:20

I loved the running and jumping, moving around was just so much fun. The aliens seemed a bit hard though, the only way I could beat them was to hide right on the edge of a planet and snipe from outside their range.

Although I feel like the combat could have been improved, this was a really good entry. Really thought the planet walking and jumping felt good, and enjoyed the art. Well done. :)

capsizedmoose 2014-08-26 19:43

wasn't able to kill any eyes but the jumping between planets was pretty cool :)

buffalophil 2014-08-26 20:20

This was fun!

shadox 2014-08-26 20:22

Love what you did with the gameplay and mood Most certianly worth investing some more time in this to release a full version :)

Great and good game !
I had some trouble finding controls, but then really liked the space floating sensation

atta 2014-08-27 08:47

Amazing stuff! For the time being it's the best game I play on LD30. Great work!

liquidminduk 2014-08-27 08:50

Great feeling of motion on this game with the gravity. easy to control, however i didn't know the key for using the laser and jetpack at first

Great work

robber 2014-08-28 19:48

thanx for all the wonderfull comments, i hope to make time in the coming to weeks to finetune the combat-system en complete the level with some rogue robots, working blackhole initition tower etc, thanx for playing

Movement and sound were really nice, however I could really figure out what to do with the laser and what exactly I had to do. Still quite nice and the movement has potential.

coderdozer 2014-08-29 16:56

Fun gravity game, i did find the controls a little awkward though, other than that, nice job.

tacospice 2014-08-30 17:38

The movement controls are really cool, gaining momentum and jumping to another little planetoid, I even managed to reach the smaller planet beyond the last giant one with some frantic thrust maneuvering.

Aiming on the other hand could really do with a makeover. I strongly suggest mouse control here. I killed several enemies by just standing off the edge of a planet and shooting over it, moving until the laser lined up. Standing nearby and aiming was kinda useless and got me killed quickly.

For some though, I ran until I gained enough velocity to jump straight up, so I was shooting at the enemy straight ahead, and that worked well and was a fun "discovery" of how to use the mechanics to my advantage.

The sounds are pretty good, but I feel the graphics are a little dull. The minimap and hud are nice, but there's something about the 3d models.. I don't know.

Overall though, this is a great entry and definitely worth expanding on.

I imagine more enemy variety, maybe new weapons (missiles affected by gravity too, perhaps?) and even some kind of jumping puzzles/challenges that take advantage of the planet physics you have going on.

dragoninstall 2014-08-31 01:42

Like the ambiance of the game and graphics. Good concept but a bit hard though. Good job overall.

harko12 2014-08-31 04:34

Great work. The controls are a little odd, but it's very well done

stevesalmond 2014-08-31 08:11

Sweet! I'm a sucker for anything involving planets and gravity, so you've got my vote :) I loved the whole 'build up velocity by running round the planet' thing. Nice work dude!

the 2014-08-31 08:14

O no, another game that looks like my own.

goffmog 2014-08-31 12:21

Great presentation and gameplay but I thought the controls slightly let down the amount of fun available. Overall a top entry though! Happy you posted a port-mortem or I wouldn't have found it.

tomvert 2014-08-31 19:15

Cool mechanics, enemies are really hard to kill though.

gameproducer 2014-08-31 19:52

That was fun!

Would have wanted to see enemies... or at least have better view/knowledge where exactly they are and how much I gotta shoot em.

I think mouse aiming would have been perhaps good to have? Throttle system was bit tricky.

haymanmarc 2014-08-31 20:34

Very cool graphics and idea, but a little glitchy. When on a planet and run into a asteroid that is close to planet, I get stuck running and can't move. Also, jumped off into space and ended up trapped floating in space - no gravity pulled me back. Otherwise, the game felt and played really cool.
