Overall a pretty fun game, I played the easy mode and then gave up. In my opinion it needs to be better tutorialised, as you can't really tell exactly what the controls do from the offset. However, it fit theme excellently, and the audio was pretty damn good for a game made so quickly.
I liked the gravity effect. The black-silouetted targets were a bit hard to see against the dark background.
An explanation controls would go a long way! It took me a couple of tries before I figured out what I was supposed to be doing.
Once I figured out what I was doing it was good though. Playing with the gravity physics was fun.
Thanks guys! I will update for a tutorial. I just didn't have too much time
A very nice game. The graphics of what you have to destroy is a little bit confusing because there are 6 people showed, but on every planet are just 5 people.
Okay I quickly fixed TiByte's bug and added a tutorial. Thanks guys!
great mechanic with the planet hopping
Nice little game with decent graphics.
yaaay, I am the destroyer!
Basic mechanics but enjoyable for a bit. Short, and the theme felt like it was an afterthought for this game.
Yeah, I am the destroyer! Liked the physics, reminded me of mario galaxy and that other planet gravitation game... forgot the name...
Although the game doesn't really fit the theme, it's actually pretty fun to play. Hopping from planet to planet in search of your objective feels great. The tutorial could definitely be improved, but in the end I think it's a fun game.
Thanks! I should've made a story-line so it fit the theme more. Oh and it was based off the game 'Aether'
Pretty fun game :) Liked the gravity effect. And special congrats for making it in 10 hours. Cheers ! :D
A well made game with nice physics, and in a very few amount of time. Good job!
I played through the whole game; except i played the hard mode about ten times before giving up. At first I was confused, I was just trying to plant bombs on random planets before realizing that the random floating coloured men at the top actually meant something. That's not your fault, it was mine for jamming out to the sweet tunes that were pumpin' out of this game :D
This game left me with no choice but to give you a high rating. Well done!
Thanks so much!! Bet no-one knew there was a bonus level after hard mode did they ;)
Good innovating game. Good move.
Very cool gravity effects! I am a monster!
Fun game. Lacks story or dialogs to connect it with the theme.
A sweet little game.
Generally though it could still be improved by quite a margin. First and foremost, having some kind of panel as a background to the HUD would improve readability a huge lot. As it is now, it's very hard to make out the text. The ending animation also seems to go on forever. It just left me sitting there for quite a while without me knowing whether anything more was going to happen.
Controls wise, the game could've been made a lot more fun if we had some sort of jetpack that allowed at least a limited amount of control while in the air. As it is now, you can be at the mercy of gravity for a very long time. Limited air control would also have allowed you to space the planets out more liberally, and would have increased the skill required to play it, rather than the chance of knowing when to jump by trial and error.
The sounds are ok. Nothing remarkable, but not altogether awful either.
If you had taken more time than just ten hours a lot of the problems with this game could have been easily fixed and improved upon. Hopefully you'll have more time the next time around!
Was cool. Really liked it but, I'm pretty sure, one of the colors it was asking for did not exist on the screen.
So was the concept white people killing every other skin color? (i'm kidding)
I really enjoyed this game overall, the platforming between planets was a great innovation which I enjoyed a lot, the gameplay is really fun (I most enjoyed the platforming) but is a bit difficult to control at times and could have done with some polish, it suits the theme okay I guess but it could have done with something to connect the game with the theme better, I liked the art style and the soundtrack was really nice as well as the sound effects which contributed to a really nice mood as well. Really enjoyed it overall, well done.
By bonus you mean INSANE difficulty...
Yea XD
An interesting game playing around with gravity, I do think that the little guys on the planets could stand out more, making it easier to identify them.
I liked the way gravity change your moves even if sometimes you control nothing and fly through the map :)
Gravity effect is neat. Dark background with black silhouettes make it a litt hard. Once you figure out the keys it's starting to be fun.
Fun game. Borrows a little bit from Orbital Gear, but I still enjoyed it. Controls are a bit hard, but once you get used to them it's no problem. Good stuff!
Not much to say, but I liked the shading on graphics.
Excellent game. Loved the gravity, it worked flawlessly. You used the theme really well: nothing is more monstrous than destroying entire galaxies. Really solid graphics and art-style.
thanks daveh !
Looks good. Nice job
Fun physics platformer with a storyline that doesn't make sense until its too late.
Interesting idea, SFX were adequate. Instructions not really clear though.
Pretty fun little game. If the tutorial was a little better that would be good. But overall it was fun, and I really like the concept
I AM THE DESTROYER!
The gravity effect was good. Quite a fun game
Haha! Liked it a lot! Super Awesome!
The graphics were quite fitting. Good job!
That's was a really good game ! The only thing is that i didn't first understand that space would plant the explosives, maybe you should write it somewhere ! :D
Hope that's not because i didn't see it ^^'
Not too bad for 10 hours! Fun take on the theme. Good job!
I'm da destroya~!
(made it in the hard level)
The yay:
- cool gameplay mechanics
- nice graphics and audio
The nay:
- a bit confused about what to do at first
- game doesn't mention oxygen running out with time or, more importantly, that a charge can be planted with space
- menu is controlled when game itself is keyboard only
- SIZE! It seems there's quite a room for compression/removal here, starting with the main song in *.wav format; the game looks like it could easily fit in 10MB >.<
Pretty neat entry, especially for such a short timeframe.
I have no issues with it. Nice one in 10 hours, and overall a fun little game, and the gravity is really cool.
This game is very good. I like the jump physics in this game, because when your low on time it's kind of a puzzle to figure out how to get to the next planet before you run out of oxygen. I think what kind of holds this game back is its lack of instruction upon how to plant the bomb. I was literally forced to push every button on my keyboard to figure that out, and on top of the added rule where you can only plant on planet with certain people, it just kinda made for a sour opening. Past that point, though, I feel like this game is really well done. Especially when considering that this was made in 10 hours! Overall, I gave you a 4/5.
Thanks
Nice physics and use of the theme!
