Incredible! I loved it!

oranebeast 2014-08-25 04:23

Bloody norton 360 removed it! looks great though!

wabbit12 2014-08-25 04:27

Freaking awesome! Loved it!

lucidsheep 2014-08-25 04:44

Took me forever to realize your shots move the planet you're on. At first it seemed like you were marooned with nothing to do. Pretty cool once I got past that!

akios 2014-08-25 05:47

if you die the game crashes? well thats quite a mechanic XD

akios 2014-08-25 05:52

but its awesome, good work, hope you continue to making the game ^^

capsizedmoose 2014-08-25 06:03

@akios What does the crash say? D:

roknsk 2014-08-25 06:39

Shooting is really satisfying in this game.

pixelmonkey 2014-08-25 07:49

Quite nice! It's a little repetitive (and wears on your clicking finger) but when you get some of the fancier guns the pace really picks up. Running around shooting things feels very satisfying!

drewvancamp 2014-08-25 14:57

Oh, ok, cool! Haha, I almost gave up trying to figure out what there was to do. No clear sense of movement at first. (Moving the starry background might help.) But once I stumbled across the moving platforms I started having fun. Click fest for sure and pretty challenging to stay alive, but I think I did alright for somebody who doesn't normally play this style of game. BTW, love the visuals!

tomker 2014-08-25 18:27

Really nice :) Graphics and idea.

macocco 2014-08-25 18:56

Really good game. But you should have explained somewhere that shooting moves the planet. Also combat is a little monotone but it's alright. The bosses have a really high rate of fire though. And Q never got me anything.

piscythe 2014-08-25 18:58

Delightful. The graphics were good and the planet-hopping was really fun once I got the hang of it. The regular enemies were cool, though I found myself wishing I could just hold down the fire button. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to approach the bosses though - strafing didn't seem to be working all that well for me. I liked how the shooting/movement mechanics added chaos to navigation - you never know exactly where you'll end up when a fight is over. I'd love to see this expanded. I can just imagine trying to fend a swarm of space bats away from a planetoid or something.

senordiablo 2014-08-25 20:26

Really nice graphics, design and generally feels like a very solid well rounded game. Very impressed.

sanguine 2014-08-25 21:47

Nice shooting animations and concept. Could use some screenshake and it took me a while to figure out how to actually move the planet.

capsizedmoose 2014-08-25 22:18

@Sanguine it actually has screenshake, but it's very slight you notice it more with the other weapons :)

limyc 2014-08-25 22:31

This is fantastic. Absolutely love it!

canyon 2014-08-26 04:32

I love the idea of moving the worlds with your projectiles.

druid 2014-08-26 13:18

Shooting lots of enemies? Moving planetes? Well... Finally game suited to me :D

ikarus 2014-08-26 17:32

This is awesome, I really like the idea and the graphics, very fun.

p4nurge 2014-08-26 17:37

Very nice indeed. I loved the whole idea of bouncing around the galaxy jumping from planet to planet - such a cool premise. The shooting was well-handled too - combat felt appropriately twitchy and fun. Great stuff!

the-lag-pack 2014-08-26 17:41

Brillian! Played this for ages, its so much fun having to jump across to another planet. great entry :D

chadiik 2014-08-26 17:45

WOW! That's an amazing game!
Really! Everything: Concept, Gameplay, Graphics (COOOOL GRAPHICS!)
I would suggest you zoom out when the (cool little) monsters are wiped out of a planet, should add a bit more dynamism and make it nicer to navigate.

(I'll be following the updates and playing it later for sure! :D)

onlyslightly 2014-08-26 22:16

love your style. That was an awesome mechanic propelling the planets with your gun though it took quite a while to figure out that that was occurring.

egos 2014-08-26 22:29

so close and i died again after a jump.
good concept

gaeel 2014-08-26 22:30

Pew pew pew pew pew!

(btw, that's not how planets work, but who cares? n.n )

queader 2014-08-26 23:19

Incredible! And lovely.

sorle 2014-08-26 23:54

I love the grafics

dragoninstall 2014-08-26 23:57

Good Game! Awesome concept! You should make the screen shake a bit stronger or something else to make it easier to notice that you are moving the planet.
The game crash sometimes when you die. I noticed that it occurred less often in the full screen version. Not sure of what happen when I played but I had a blue screen windows error at some point...
Look into that if you plan to update it.

incredible-ape 2014-08-27 03:18

Pretty fun although there didn't seem to be a much strategy to the combat besides running in a circle.

Moving the planet with your shots is was a neat mechanic but like others have said there's almost no sense of movement to help gauge your speed.

The graphics and gameplay were obviously very inspired by Nuclear Throne but that's okay since the game overall is pretty different.

teamquadratic 2014-08-27 05:48

I love the concept! Nice work!

43iscoding 2014-08-27 12:19

Graphics are really awesome! Reminds me of alien shooter, very fun game!

dragonxvi 2014-08-27 19:17

Nifty little shooter, very moreish. Sneaky little mechanic for getting around too! Pretty decent little package that'd be worth carrying on with!

merlijnvh 2014-08-27 22:37

I really liked this! Once I understood how it worked, I loved the concept and it was fun to play. You should keep working on it! I like the graphics, too. They reminded me of Windows 95 games (in a good way!).

conflictivelabs 2014-08-28 07:16

Awesome game! Loved the graphics, the sound, the gameplay (although I had to the game like 10 times (having no idea of what to do, jumping to the void, closing the game, opening the game, repeat) and had to come back to the description to know what to do).
The game is really good and fun and the only thing that bugged me was having to restart the game after each death!

I can't believe this was done for the compo! One of the best entries I've played so far! Good job!

iamspencer 2014-08-28 07:43

everything felt really nice and responsive. You have all the right elements of a shooter, well done! :)

capsizedmoose 2014-08-28 08:08

@ConflictiveLabs You can press R to restart, didn't put that in the description. my bad :D

dickpoelen 2014-08-28 08:33

Great feel to it!

saintheiser 2014-08-30 04:52

Not bad. Like the idea with planetray flight. But I can't playing this game because of it crashes my PC with blue screen if death.

roguenoodle 2014-08-30 10:54

Great entry - a little more feedback on the moving planets would be great, but it's a really unique mechanic and I could definitely see it taken further. And that bullet animation is perfect!

jezzamon 2014-08-31 04:21

Neat idea, with the way you move planets!

I think the could could look nicer if you picked slightly more saturated colours, it seems a little dull with everything so grey.

posva 2014-09-07 18:19

Really good! It's very funny and addictive.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-12 21:15

The title screen words get in the way imo. I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/KSNN8ZCA9kQ

rojo 2014-09-14 23:12

Pretty fun! Some music would be nice, though. There should probably be some kind of in game help that shows / explains the planet moving mechanic.
