I couldn't get the mac build to run. Not sure why :/

bunkeyinteractive 2014-08-25 13:43

Try web. I don't have a mac, so I couldn't tell for sure if the mac build worked ;)

Damn hard :) Flappy planets

Wow! I enjoyed the game. Nice idea!

dasginger 2014-08-25 13:49

Attempt 1: What the? This game is surely impossible!
Attempt 5: Ahh, I get it! Hey, this is pretty cool, 300 points!
Attempt 20: This is awesome!

Cool game, it's nice to see a completely unconventional control scheme!

Dasinger started it off, I would appreciate if everyone could post their scores! I want to see who can get the highest! :D

Very nice! Extremely difficult though! I enjoyed this. Well done.

imdigitaljim 2014-08-25 16:17

very unique controls! I liked it, hard though! Id say let there be more hits before game over

alangamebot 2014-08-25 16:20

Yeah, this is super hard. I like the juxtaposition (ooh fancy word) between the cutesy graphics and chill music and the crushing hard difficulty. Its not everyday you see someone make a game using the number keys only. Pretty interesting.

haha, nice game :P

but since you make use 4 of fingers on the keyboard, please implement a way to restart with keyboard and will play a lot more.

bunkeyinteractive 2014-08-25 16:37

Really, really awesome advice, comments, and suggestions guys :)

That was nice, I really liked the game, although it was very hard for me. Maybe in the beginning there should only be energy boosts. Also if a planet gets hit, it could just explode and the game could go on until there's no planet left.

I think numbers on planets could make it less difficult for those who came for fun. Anyway, I like it. :)

tayloranderson 2014-08-25 16:54

I like the game's art and music, but I found it really hard to judge where the rocks were coming from and press the corresponding button, even after several runs

capitals 2014-08-25 17:04

Hard... but good!

I did find that I didn't have enough time to adjust my fingers before I had to press the buttons down.

makio 2014-08-25 17:06

Crash on mac in the menu when i click on about ( web version ) else as you say its quite hard !

mintarcade 2014-08-25 18:02

There is no way to say what planet will be hit next, extremely difficult. Played many times, but can't past 1000 points. Need way to restart without mouse - 8 of my fingers are already on keyboard. Graphic and music are fantastic, but didn't have time to admire it because of asteroids. Great game, be "Flappy planets" :)

bunkeyinteractive 2014-08-25 18:27

I totally agree @MintArcade. Those points you mentioned were the my prime issues when I was finished. This was my first LD, so I'm happy regardless :)

sharpcoder 2014-08-25 23:06

This is a cool game. The way I play though, my planets look pretty dorky jumping in groups! Fun game with the right amount of challenge. Good job!

dustyroom 2014-08-29 07:11

Interesting idea. It would be great to implement some kind of quick restart key, since your all fingers are on the keyboard, I'm too lazy to grab the mouse every time i die.

fussycashew 2014-09-07 15:15

Just a heads up, I don't believe you can use music you didn't make in the 48 hour compo.

artamus 2014-09-07 16:03

Nice game, congrats!

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-12 12:13

Not bad ! The music was catchy and all. But you should really tell the controls right away, it would be more practical for the player than searching in the menus for some clues.
