Lovely! Reminded me of the good old NES days.

Nice art style :)
It feels a bit hard.

Nice graphics, game is hard though and fun. Nice use of the literal meaning of the theme haha.

The game didn't work... I tried to run the exe but windows says it stopped working all the time :(

Surprisingly fun for such a simple mechanic. I like the graphics and music a lot. Difficulty can be a bit spiky because of randomness.

Sorry Foofur, forgot to mention you may need to install XNA redist, it's in the rar file.

fun but too short for making a lot of retry (the point where the situation is almost impossible come too fast).
High score add really to the fun...
Nice mood, the music make the absurd of the situation totally normal...

it would be nice if you change the name play 1.0 into something like windows or downloud.

It is quite fun, though as someone else said, the difficulty is a bit wonky because of the randomness.
What I really don't appreciate though is that it uploads my computer's name to the internet... And it does so without telling me.

jsmars 2014-08-25 16:18

Sorry SpringPowered, I can change it afterwards if you like, just tell me to/from what. Your computer name is shown at the title screen which is used for online highscores, didn't have time to make it changeable.

This was an excellent game! The controls were simple to get a hold of, the graphics were very consistent (and the colissions looked great), and the sounds matched great.

Loved it!

Made it onto the leaderboards, too ;)

Tried to play it but didnt work. Is there a workaround?

huacati 2014-08-26 13:51

Awesome game and fairly difficult to boot. Excellent that you managed to incorporate stats & leaderboards in as well.

Love the leaderboard. Always a ++

xaychru04 2014-08-26 20:25

Nice game, the gameplay felt a bit random but I enjoyed making it on to the leaderboard. :)

Nice graphics and music, which set up well the feel of the game. And the gameplay is very addictive (especially thanks to the scoreboard); and I particularly like how the gameplay ties in with the theme. But the difficulty does seem a bit inconsistent. Sometimes you'll hit an essentially impassable cluster in 5 seconds, other times you'll glide through with ease for at least 20 seconds.

jsmars 2014-08-27 10:31

Yeah the randomess does add some inconsistency, but for this I think it's ok. It's a bit like Spelunky with the randomess I guess, sometimes you get a good run and sometimes not, it adds a bit to the excitement :)

lokarunith 2014-08-27 16:08

really cool game, music and mechanics are over the top, managed to do 33.93 seconds

chuigum 2014-08-29 04:25

Awesome awesome innovation! Very fun!

dagamesta 2014-08-29 05:23

Haha, first off all, ty for taking connected worlds seriously like our team did. XD Our games are rather similar. I loved the concept, graphics, and music. A bit hard, but it seems like it's meant to be that way. A+ from me. :)

GOTY

I half-hoped that the stretchy bit would slingshot asteroid back at themselves, but that's a bit much to hope for for 48 hours, I think!

So much awesomeness in a little package. Well done!

jpverkamp 2014-09-02 04:55

Definitely connected worlds! For how simple it was, I spent entirely too long playing it. Didn't *quite* make it into the high scores, but I came close. I could see this idea going somewhere, especially if you got all this working in 48 hours...

paperblurt 2014-09-07 19:34

Woah.
These graphics was really nice.
Good job.
