Nice game! It has leaderboards! Mmmm! I love leaderboards, every game should have leaderboards. Even sudoku.

sharpcoder 2014-08-25 05:02

Heh, this is hilarious! It's pretty fun too, nice job! I think your game is actually pretty well balanced.

juakob 2014-08-25 05:04

Interesting idea, It was a little difficult to understand what I was doing at the beginning, but I really the concept

lyszie 2014-08-25 05:15

Such a fun game! :DD

clutchnachos 2014-08-25 05:17

That intro is hilarious xD and the game itself is addicting

khahem 2014-08-25 05:36

Very fun game :)

There is a small bug with the end game screen if you press space at the wrong time but nothing game breaking.

haveric 2014-08-25 05:49

Pretty solid game. Live leaderboards is a great feature and keeps it competitive across users. Some of the planets were frustrating to swing between and the last level I got to, I was just bouncing around like a crazy madman trying to deliver cat videos to people, but I enjoyed getting to the top of leaderboard in the process.

pa3kc 2014-08-25 06:04

I like the "connection" of the story to the game and how cables sticks!

roknsk 2014-08-25 06:05

Html version not working for me. Cool game thou

sanojian 2014-08-25 06:12

I like this. I only wish you could click away the intro text to try again after a mess up. Nice with a leaderboard. You other guys are way too good at this.

invictusv 2014-08-25 06:32

Very solid game mechanic. This has a lot of potential. Awesome game.

fserb 2014-08-25 06:35

@sanojian. I thought I had added a key to skip the intro text, but there was a small bug. Fixed it. :)

fserb 2014-08-25 06:35

@Roknsk, can you tell me the browser/os you tried?

fserb 2014-08-25 06:35

@khahem fixed that! :) thanks.

vinhuman 2014-08-25 07:15

I had a lot of fun. Grabbed the second spot on the leaderboards and was apparently blown out by the game's creator, but I would expect that much. I bet someone will pass me soon though :P.

tmpxyz 2014-08-25 07:18

Nice game!

lars-faust 2014-08-25 07:21

Holy shit that is a cool idea.
And so smoothly excecuted.

Plays absolutely fantastic. Great job!

mrtedders 2014-08-25 07:27

Very literal take on the theme :D solid game!

royvanrijn 2014-08-25 07:28

Very nice game, nice thinking, great physics.. and a leaderboard, hell yeah!

shashwat 2014-08-25 07:32

I love it!

nonentheless 2014-08-25 08:46

Love it, great presentation, very nice idea, mechanics are almost perfect, solid entry :)

ahmedmohi 2014-08-25 09:57

Good game , like the concept and very simple maybe abit difficult but like it .

egdob 2014-08-25 13:01

Awesomely simple mechanic with lots of room for replay, and leaderboards! Good job!

ninjascript 2014-08-25 13:46

Great entry! Unique mechanics that are still pretty easy to pick up. I wish there were more levels!

malf 2014-08-25 13:50

Very fun game! I have a difficult time with the mechanics but I think it was my fault for not reading the introduction :D

ittlebit 2014-08-25 13:53

Fun concept, interesting premise, well done!

jupiter_hadley 2014-08-25 13:59

Simple looking, but really well done. I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/WU8AB6IzBac

mcfood 2014-08-25 15:46

Great gameplay, It seemed a bit glitchy if I came close to connecting 2 planets at once.
Lots of fun, challenging but fair, looks great and funny.
Really good job =)

kidanger 2014-08-25 16:00

Simple but fun! I like the graphics and the effects. The difficulty curve is a bit high though.

jakecoxon 2014-08-25 17:47

Great game, took the theme very literally, leader boards always a plus, and the graphics are nice too.

tannernetwork 2014-08-25 18:44

Nice idea, nice graphics.

hypp 2014-08-26 06:45

Nicely done. I like it!

ihateatmfees 2014-08-26 12:29

nice job! clean graphics, good controlling gameplay.

dunin 2014-08-26 14:26

Really nice idea and good for the theme. Fun.

(works on chrome but doesn't work on Firefox/win for me, here's the console log:
"Lib.hx:114: Warning: Graphics.drawRoundRect is not implemented" LD30.js:3600
TypeError: this.__sourceImageData is undefined LD30.js:5093" )

fserb 2014-08-26 16:22

@dunin thanks for feedback. I'll check this out.

makio 2014-08-26 16:43

Very cool physical concept, i love the feeling we get to control it !

badgerpriest 2014-08-26 16:50

Wow, what a fun original game concept!

I really enjoyed the way the game mechanics work: penalizing speed based on cable length encourages the player to make more interesting paths, and I like how you get bounced but not killed when you hit a planet.

Top score so far: 141.

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-26 21:51

It gets a bit repetive after a wild. But overall very good

korigame 2014-08-27 01:21

Great little game, the cables are really well done - I laughed when the score screen popped up :)

eduardo 2014-08-27 02:03

Really cool! I liked of the cables, really juicy!

empyrealhell 2014-08-27 03:31

Can't click to start the game on Firefox.

2014-08-27 12:20

Really fun game to play, although your wrist hurts after a while :) I really like how your speed slows down the longer you try to move away without attaching it to a planet, it's like it's stretching like a real physical thing - things like that do not go unnoticed. It's also nice how your ship swings around.

1,486 points. Take that fserb! :D

markusfisch 2014-08-27 17:38

Simple idea, good game! And very well done. I like the colors and the simplicity. It's quite addictive once you get the hang of it!

twoscoopgames 2014-08-29 16:24

Hey great game, nice job. unique concept of roping the planets, I would play this on mobile for sure. Keep going with it! Thanks for making it browser friendly also!

colapsydo 2014-09-01 09:00

The rocket moves are smooth, it's pleasant to fly around planets.
If you planned to continue working on the game, a mode with a limited length cable could be fun.

adamharte 2014-09-03 01:50

Very nice gameplay, and a great idea.

mrspeaker 2014-09-03 14:00

Wow - that is fun... I played the first level and thought, eh, you just loop around the edge and that's it... by level 3 I was hooked. I love the concept too - would be great to meme-ify it 20% ;)

teejay5 2014-09-04 00:41

excellent premise haha!

ncannasse 2014-09-04 11:45

I quite enjoyed playing it :) Would have been better with a nice music

phi 2014-09-07 08:22

This is great! It's very polished, it looks awesome, it's fun to play and easy to grasp. I love the way you explain the concept and the way you implemented the theme. But I found the time limit rather annoying than challenging, but I guess the leaderboards make more sense this way.

maniulo 2014-09-10 17:48

Awesome! 228 planets now have cats, I'm proud of myself.

posva 2014-09-14 12:18

I really enjoyed that one!

mcapraro 2014-09-15 01:18

very nice and simple. the controls feel really good , well done
