Seems like an interesting concept, but a few hints on how to get started would be nice. Can't get any O2 or life to start forming

doctor_n 2015-12-14 07:23

You don't need O2 for plants all you need is an ocean and some lightning and eventually it will pop out of nowhere

Ohhhh, lightning and an ocean. But what about the temperature? I can't seem to stabilize it, also is it F, K, or C? I'll play some more tomorrow, but some more feature hints would be nice :P

doctor_n 2015-12-14 08:28

It's in degrees celcius so life appears between 20 and 45 degrees. It should drop towards 0 constantly but you can warm the planet with the odd comet but be careful because that'll destiny your plants (when you get them)

doctor_n 2015-12-14 08:29

Sorry in advance I ran out of time before I could add animals so once you unlock life you only have a small period before you run out of CO2! Long enough to have fun trying to stabilise your fluid and temperature though

This gets marked as a virus under Avast and Zillya.
I think a virustotal report should be required to upload to ludum dare.

I've never appreciated the fact that we have life on this planet so much @_@

Finestep 2015-12-15 06:49

Sounds seemed rather loud

Cn't really play on my Retina screen, it seems to not respect the display DPI seetings … if I run it I only see half of the content… it looks nice from the screens tho…

Could not launch the windows version?

doctor_n 2015-12-15 20:02

If you're struggling to play the windows version make sure you have Java installed and if it still isn't working try the .jar instead: http://industrial-games.net/planet/planet_windows.jar

yinyin 2015-12-15 20:04

Could not launch the windows version either.
Am on 8.1

Very pretty and cool concept.

azureaspect 2015-12-15 20:22

Didnt manage to get any wildlife on my planet :<
Tried hard to grow the plants but they would suck all the h20 faster then i could ever possibly produce it.
Good game concept though!

doctor_n 2015-12-15 20:27

Yeah I ran out of time before I could add wildlife but I will be doing some patches and re-uploading to my website

It's a really special game. Loved it.

publicidadeba 2015-12-15 20:58

What a concept... Well done guys!

newbeings 2015-12-15 21:54

I loved this! Good job. Totally worth pursuing. I played for a while.

Just gonna let my mind go on this:
I'd love to see conditions other than earth like life. Or maybe you can start multiple planets and then you have control of a solar system where every planet is affecting the other. Just thinking since it seems like the progression is to be balancing more and more stuff...

Anyway, great job!

PS: I had some scaling issues on Mac - couldn't get it to fit quite right on my screen.

I like the idea of the game and it looks really cool.

It seems a bit too hard, though. I couldn't manage to stabilize the temperature. In several cycles (I think 6 or 7) I boosted the oxygen to about 30%, but I couldn't get any animals.

I think, after a while the temperature should be more stable through the greenhouse effect.

Great game! Game is very difficult - plants take all water :( and they die.

uvwar 2015-12-29 20:41

Hello fellow Volcano game! I had a really hard time trying to get some life going, and then I couldn't exit the program or alt-tab out OR force quit (on Mac), so I had to reboot. Otherwise really awesome!
