Interesting concept - I enjoyed the little touches in the gun mechanics, like the swinging and delays.

Quite challenging but fun and beautiful.

I really liked the fact that the enemies are the pipes :)

Fun, one of the first games I went back to play a few times!

Really fun, good job!

Great job with this entry! Clever that you have to be careful which ones you pick up, in order to build the right way!

Cool gameplay with smooth controls. Challenging in a good way.The music and sound effects are good and the graphics look nice.

very nice, one of the best I've played so far

Really terrific . . . I said out loud, "ooh, this is cool" within a few seconds of playing. Love the smooth controls and polish you were able to add in 48 hours. Great mechanic with using the enemy corpses as a resource to build. This is my first 5 star overall rating. Thanks for the great game!

I really enjoyed the visuals and the controls were nice, but I never got anywhere near connecting my planet to one of the others. Quite a few enemies need killing to do that. So I would suggest having a little easier start, maybe some hearts one can kill for life-refill?

@local minimum - Yeah, meant to have a way to refill life in there somewhere but never got to it. Will definitely be in a post-compo version.

After playing this, I immediately jumped to graphics and gave it 5 stars, it had an amazingly nice style, and the feel of the game was very nice. You did an excellent job, well done! :)

Very nice game! I love the style. Pure eye candy.

Really fun game! Really addicting. I kept playing it. Also really nicely polished. Sound effects are good, gameplay is solid and art style is unique. Game mechanics work really well and like I just said, it feels really polished. Good concept and take on the connected worlds theme. And just like someone else commented, I also really enjoyed the little touches you added in such as the slight jag when you shoot and hit an enemy. I think so far this might be one of my favorite game submissions I played and tried out. Would like to see you take this further in the future. Great work! :)

Love the art-style! Shooting gameplay pretty enjoyable also. Good job!

Impressive polishing, and very challenging, it's a great game

Great graphics and sound. Sprite animation would go a long way. Game starts out a little too slow imho.

cmayhem 2014-09-09 09:42

Very interesting idea and good execution. Well done!

brokenbeach 2014-09-09 10:08

Really fun. Feel-good shooting and excellent sounds. It got really hard, really quickly though. I'd be fine against 1 or 2 enemies. Then suddenly like 4-5 would swarm me and I'd lose all my health almost instantly. Maybe some audio cues to let me know that enemies are spawning from else where.

Otherwise, a really really good submission. Actually fun. Which is something a lot of GameJam entries miss.

Nice game, congrats!
