"Your success can only be described as number." Thank you for adding humor. This is one of the better LD games, good job!

Heh, thanks, I'm glad i added that :P

can't get it to run on linux :(

/Downloads/Planet fighter/native\linux/liblwjgl.so

says it can't find this: maybe cross-os paths?

icylava 2014-08-25 14:19

hmm...well my best guess is the single '\' that's there... I'll try changing that in just a sec.

icylava 2014-08-25 14:23

Changed, if it still doesn't work then I have no idea what to do.

Pretty nice fun game :) I enjoyed it

Difficult to play that one. Being unable to tell when an enemy is damage is a little difficult.

Very cool game and it works on Linux!

icylava 2014-08-26 17:36

@uprightpath Yeah I added the death sounds for the player and enemy, but didn't need a hit sound for the player and so I forgot to add it for the enemy.
@Charlie Thanks! Glad you liked it, and good to know it works now.

Awesome game. It works good under Linux

icylava 2014-08-27 17:15

Thanks! :)

cool game! the patterns very interesting, but enemies have too much life, especially when using pink bullets.

icylava 2014-08-28 16:39

Well, I didn't want to make it too easy, so the more waves you beat, the more health the enemies have. And I think the 360-spread planet would have been overpowered if it would've done more damage. Though it can get pretty fast with the fire rate power-ups. Thanks for playing!

Nice scrolling shooter type game and good use of the theme.

Fun game! Nice concept with revolving planets.

icylava 2014-08-29 09:14

@kyru, @EndingChaos Thanks! I was afraid my game didn't quite fit the theme.

Controls were a bit oddly placed for playing with the mouse, but it was pretty fun overall. Sounds effects and music were a great match to the overall feel!

nice shooter. thou i didnt completely get the point of the tools. i was not shure how often an enemy has got to be hit to get destroyed. good entry for 48 hours
