Very silly game good job, I won! Too bad I couldn't play with the original... controller... PS nice tunes, Sky ;)

Excellent game! Really fun :P

*sluuurp, sluuurp*
I wonder how it would look like playing with the controller. I can also think about some...more japanese like applications for it *cough*

The graphics and sound give that awesome "retro" feel, which made it more enjoyable.

my lack of a lickable controller aside (and the knowledge of where these laptop keys have been) -- the movement mechanic was actually pretty interesting and fun. I had to keep remembering which key would move to which planet, which interestingly got harder the further along I went.

After lickin' some planets, I won! I guess! I mean, I don't know what I did to win, but I did! It might have been better to have a score / timer / combination and have the amount of mines increase the more planets you lick? Maybe? I don't know.

Still, innovation 5/5, would lick planets again

I don't have the controler !!! :P
nice gameplay, simple but efficient

Love the music!
Love licking planets... :D
The mechanics is very original!

Downside: I understood that there were mines ... after several levels! Just when I thought the gameplay was lacking constraints ...

Good job, thanks for the game!

Thank you for playing and commenting!

Regarding the mines, it's true they aren't very noticeable. We plan to make it so they are placed more strategically, look more hazardous and give more feedback when triggered.

...What did I just play? I love how bizarre the game is. I must say that the custom controller looks cool, too!

Even though I had no licking controller, just the combination of the graphics, music, & licking planets made me smile a lot. Great job on this!

Awesome game with excellent chiptune music! (Actually I just left the game running in the background after playing just to listen to the music.)

Oh and also I NEED THAT LICKING CONTROLLER.

Winning the game freezes the application on mac.
ps. Great tunes.

Licker of planets. I would have never thought of that. The licking sound is creepy XD. but congrats on submitting your entry!

I really liked the art style and humor.

kalinova 2015-08-31 05:21

I saw this demoed at Babycastles and it's awesome! I can't wait to try it out once the popsicle controllers are finished!

belowzerogames 2015-09-03 03:07

Great job on this game it's a very original fun little game

athaclena 2015-09-03 14:24

This game is adorable. Keeping it so my niece can play it; I might even let her lick my keyboard. (She's 3. She really likes licking things.)

nurbs 2015-09-03 21:07

This game is bizzare but it's oddly charming. I would lick your video game any day.

pls custom controller w/ flavored planets

nightshadow0 2015-09-03 21:37

Haha this is certainly different! It's an interesting mechanic even without the controller, having to avoid the mines(?) with only three or less possible directions, though i didn't realize they were harmful until i died. I also have a hard time telling orange and green apart, so that was occasionally troublesome. Still had fun though. Digging the music too. Nice work!

ohsqueezy 2015-09-03 22:50

Oh shoot, sorry to hear that NightShadow0, color blind mode was something we were thinking of adding down the road, thanks for the feedback!

We are definitely going to work on making the mines more readable in the future as well.

Planetliscious! Nice idea :)

pierrec 2015-09-04 10:40

My keyboard is WAY too dirty to try the game as it should be. I wish I were at Babycastle! Great idea!

bossmojoman 2015-09-08 02:14

Mmmmm Blue Planet pops are my favorite

Shadow 2015-09-09 00:01

Pretty well done game! While the gameplay itself is not really "innovative", the control "scheme" definitely is, so you are getting a damn lot of stars in that category :)

I couldn't play it as it was "intended" though (one can only hope that lickable controllers become a common thing in the future) but I played it with a keyboard and watched the "gameplay" video so I guess I have a pretty good idea of this game now.

Audio and graphics are incredibly good too, and the game is really well polished.

I guess the objective/win condition/goal is not really THAT clear, so there's some room for improvement there.

It's a REALLY good entry overall, and one of the most creative things I've seen so far. Great job, really! Kudos to the whole team!

ohsqueezy 2015-09-10 15:32

Thanks for the feedback MrTwister, making the win condition more clear to the player is definitely next on our list of things to do!

pusty 2015-09-11 22:36

Why am I licking my keyboard? o.O 5/5
