Sorry, I set up the entry whilst it was uploading.
Is pointing correctly now.
Very interesting and innovative. The mechanic is cool!
I don't know if it is just me, but it is really laggy when you submit. Also, some sound would be nice.
Can't be launched on Mac OSX
I can't seem to get it to run, just says "A Java exception has occurred." Is there a specific version of Java I need?
This is so cool! A return to elementary physics, never excited excited me so much,
Overall a very interesting concept, It seems a very ambitious idea that you pulled off reasonably well, but the lack of audio and the few game mechanics didn't give it that much replayability. But I suppose the limited time has a large part to play in that. Overall a very impressive experiment.
Quite innovative! I liked the idea a lot. I got more money for a small planet than for a huge shiny nice planet :P
Very interesting concept
This is a very cool game, the concept is awesome. Pity there was no sound.
Ah, apparently there was a Java update I missed.
This was a very cool concept, but the lack of audio made it uninteresting. Though, I did find a little bit of an exploit: So long as you have the surrounding edge of the planet's core completely covered in fauna, you'll make ~$5k every time, even with very little expenditure.
Very fun though, a lot of fun watching the physics in action.
Glad people at least enjoy the mechanic, even if there is very little 'game' around it.
There IS music, but for some unknown reason it will not play in the compiled jar, and I didn't have time to fix it..
@p1x3lruckus - it was much easier to implement than I thought it would have been, but I was visiting family over the weekend so I wasn't able to put much time towards it (hence the jam entry).
@ZXeno - the earnings calculations were kind of slapped on last minute, so I'm not surprised by that, but it's better than always losing money or never earning any.
Even after updating to the latest runtime I'm getting "A Java Exception has occurred" :( That's on Windows 7.
The idea is neat, but its hard to tell if you've reached the requirements of the customer. Maybe that's the point? either way, seems like it could be an interesting game with a little more time.
This is a confusing but cool game. First game ive seen to impalements physics
@Junuxx - after looking at my config, it appears I may have accidentally compiled under java8, so I've reuploaded with java7 in the hopes that it fixes that exception.
@Boracho - the original idea was to have a pic of what you should try to match, but I didn't have enough time to implement it and what's there now was real quick to add.
(you could always press ESCAPE to toggle the debug info, that includes the current percentages)
This is so cool!
I had it crash on me a couple times. Really cool simulation though, and an interesting idea.
Really creative idea; would love to see where this ends up in the end (like, millions of years after planet formation). Cool job!
Interesting concept, but is you planet supposed to just fall apart when you submit? Because that's what happens to me...
Nifty little program! It feels more like a tech demo than a game, but it's fun nonetheless.
And the physics is fascinating... Particularly given that there's no perceptible lag, despite all those (potential) interactions. Seeing the source would be interesting, I think.
@eerongal - it is, I thought that was a better effect for clearing the board than just having it disappear.
@Soron - I agree, but I thought it was fun enough that I could try to pass it off as a game anyways. The physics are done with Box2d, so that's probably why. I'll post the source though for those interested.
Still need optimization to build big planets (mine collapsed ;( ) but other than that great game !
Very innovative and fun to play :)
WooOoow...!! Awesome :) !!!
This is not my regular genre, but it's not completely unfun like I thought it would be. Reminds me of that old Java sand simulator or whatever.
I like it, finding out various combinations instead of looking them up in readme is quite fun, wish there were more. It's also nice that you don't see stats of your planet right away, adds some challenge.
The positive effect of correlation of your planet's stats and requirements evaded me though, I've always earned around the same amount, maybe it just looked like that, I'm not sure.
Great concept! But I'm waiting for more reactions.
Hmm... After the first planet the mouse button stop works. But I made a planet with a volcano. And an Eden with magma floating in orbit (because of comet). I also could make a lake near to volcano... with a tropical forest! 5/5 :D (ok, 4/5 because of technical problems :P )
PS. Also, so many particles with physics, how do you compute them?
This was very unique and interesting! I wish there were a couple of sounds here and there, but overall, it was fun to experiment around with different elements.
Interesting concept, it's always cool to see something new. :)
Really cool concept and execution. The physics are mechanically solid and it feels bugfree. ;)
Could've used some audio feedback though.
