I'm enjoying the idea of firing yourself on a new planet to take it over it's a cool mechanic. Some space music in the background would have kept me playing a bit longer

Scrolling should be a bit more sensitive (and by a bit I mean a lot ;) + it's a bit awkward to play You vs You. Good game though.

This would be really awesome with some friends. Kind of like worms. Really cool mechanic.

Nice concept, but I had some issues using the turrets - they ate my little guys instead of letting them enter.

Very cool concept. It ran great for me in the web player.

Awesome game, really like the concept! Would love to see this continue development

Looks and feels really smooth and nice! There are definitely some cool mechanics going on too! There's a bit of a hard time with some things though, like switching units and spawning units that can be a bit confusing?

Nice Game ! I liked it ! It's a little complicated when you don't have an English keyboard :)

tbamberg 2014-08-26 21:38

Great game, reminiscent of worms but with a cool aesthetic

lvyn 2014-08-26 22:55

Nice idea and cool aesthetic :)
I wish there were sound :)

Interesting and innovative strategy! Very enjoyed it

xandy 2014-08-27 00:06

great idea. a shame there is only local multiplayer and no ai. but i will bookmark this and play it with some friends soon!

razoric 2014-08-27 12:44

Cool concept. Would like to see this fleshed out more.

fumiko 2014-08-27 13:02

Pretty cool concept - reminds me of the worms series. While it took some time to get to the basic strategy involved i can see this getting pretty deep - as even when playing only against myself I got to an stalemate which i then broke again. pretty interesting game - although i'm not convinced either side can ever win. hiding your units on the backside of planets is just to effective. I like the minimalistic appearance too. Solid entry + nice physics. :)

guimonpa 2014-08-27 16:33

It looks interesting from what I've seen playing by myself, I'll try to play it with a friend!

ViliX 2014-08-28 10:52

The simple graphics perfectly fits :)

gnutek 2014-08-28 11:48

Nice, it's a pitty there's no AI.

juaxix 2014-08-28 16:27

I replied in my entry ,thanks for commenting.
I was playing your game,add online to it to increase fun factor!

mechanicmoon 2014-08-28 18:03

Really nice concept! Nice graphics! Seriously! Simply but clean..really interesting mechanics! Nice job dude!

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-29 17:18

Nice concept and love the minimalist aesthetic.

kikito 2014-08-29 17:43

It's a good first try in unity. The graphics were minimal but enjoyable. The mixture of turn-based gameplay with certain manual hability was interesting, and the theme was well translated into a game.

arhpositive 2014-09-08 17:53

Good entry, I really loved the core idea and the implementation is simple but it can be improved in the future. I liked the game, but the lack of audio is an important minus.

sephyka 2014-09-10 08:33

The concept of your game is just great, I really like the gameplay mechanic. I had difficulties to control my shoots at the beginning. It might be better with sounds, more polish and best playability (sometimes, I cancelled my shoot but I could'nt shoot again). Good entry!

klianc09 2014-09-10 18:43

Really great game, I would love to play this against my friends or an AI. Really like the strategies that evolve through the gravitational fields. Only gripe I have is that one shouldn't be able to move units once they used up their actions, so that you can't hide the units as easily behind the planets.

huruey 2014-09-12 23:30

Nice one! I'll try this out with a friend tomorrow. :)

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-15 23:26

Really nice, well done game! I included it in part 28 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/Hmt93jxkWGQ
