Oh! Much more challenging than I'd thought. In a good way. Very fun.

Oh! Much more challenging than I'd thought. In a good way. Very fun.
I played it on Android. Fun game, and hard!
I tried the web version, really fun little game with the right amount of tweaking in terms of how hard it really is :) It got a bit stale after some time tho, e.q. it seems like the difficulty didn't increase anymore? that could maybe be improved :) also the system with the score confused me a bit (why does it go down again? wouldn't it make more sense to keep increasing it?). Altogether a really great entry, with great sounds, nice graphics and engaging gameplay :)
I sucked at this game, and that's OK! For such an innocent looking game it was hard. I had fun though and I think it looks and sounds pretty good. I don't have much to add really, my only complaint is that I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with the white clouds. I'm assuming they're pretty innocuous looking back but I was frantically trying to click them away.
A simple, clear, fun game. The retro-style graphics is quite beautiful. Though I do wish there is a goal, because my hand hurts :rofl:
Nice entry! It is really arcady and nervous. I had some issues with draging ennemies away. I don't know if it because of the web player (the game slow down sometimes, might come from my pc) or because I'm just bad xD Anyway, pixels-graphics are great and the music-loop you chose fit well. Good job! ;)
I tried the web version... It is really a nice game! Only a few small changes can create right addiction :) I also like the music and sounds you used.
54400 points in 281 seconds. It starts slowly but becomes really hard the more time you survive. Simple and funny game. Would be nice to have more variety of disasters, but anyway is a very good job.
Really fun game ! I survived for 191s but I couldn't protect any longer those poor people from all the bad things that happened to them. I had a good time playing it.
Nice game, played it for a few minutes and it was fun, but it gets a little repetitive. Why is the score sinking when some people die?
Really fun on Android.

Entertaining multitasking kind of game, it really requires a lot of skill to survive for longer time. I like how little people on your planet are your hp, and if you can't handle all around defence any longer, you can focus on just one part of planet. Graphics and audio are neat and they go well together. Pretty good game for mobile devices.
Very well realised, quite addictive. Sometimes getting rid of the dark clouds seemed difficult though, and I think the difficulty could have ramped up slightly faster at the start, but great game overall
Fun! even with a mouse. I love the 3D style on the meteors coming in, really impressive whilst staying true to that retro aesthetic. Neat!
The game is really entertaining and it becomes challenging only after a minute :P, Love the pixel art style of the game, nice idea and great execution, good job!
Great entry for a small world!
The chip-tune music wasn't ajaring, which is usually the case for me, haha. And it was pretty fun overall. It seemed like the clouds didn't always work for me, but it may have just been something I was doing wrong. I also like how you managed to mix 2D sprites and 3D models together!
Very solid game with addictive gameplay and nice music.
This was really fun to play on Android. Great entry. Audio was good, music was good. It's hard to say any negatives. It's simple, but fun. Graphics fit nicely together and it has a good feel to it.
That was a fun little game, I like how it makes you prioritise which disasters to avert. Nice work!
Nice game. Sometimes it didn't feel like I had enough time to react to things before they started killing my people, maybe a small delay before dealing damage would work. Graphics were good (I like the meteors).
Fun game. I was confused at first when I couldn't drag the clouds away, but then I realized those aren't hazards at all. I wish there would be more types of hazards introduced the more you survive. That would make it a lot more compelling to try to survive longer. Anyhow, nice entry!
@Breno_M described it the best, but I ended up using 11 fingers at 5 minutes...
Duplicate...
Another duplicate! It seems the website didn't update when I pressed the submit button... request for a delete button :)
Loved the game but the gameplay could have been better with some variety...I tried to drag the clouds away for a long period of time and thought that it was a glitch but then I realized the storm clouds are more ominous looking :) And the pixel art was also very nice!
Very nice chiptune music, also the meteorites as combination of 3d model and particle system looked amazing (I think you could have done the clouds and the volcanoes in the same art style, would have looked awesome). In my opinion the volcanoes were a little too quick to start firing, it was practically impossible to get to them without harming any of the earthlings, but that's just some minor tweaking :) Quite fun overall.
Simple and funny game, great sound effects and amazing to play on a touchscreen. I expect a playstore entry soon :)
Neat little game!
Even though I could just fling meteors outside of the screen, I find myself juggling them to keep them around until another one showed up so I could smash them together, it was a lot of fun.
I'm not really sure what the rain clouds did, because I never saw them do anything bad. On the other hand, no matter how quick I was I couldn't avoid the volcanos spewing out a few pieces of lava, so they always seemed like bad news.
The gameplay did get a little tedious after a while though, I think the game either needs to be radically harder and appeal to the "just one more time" sense, or add some progression system to make the time spent feel worthwhile for longer than it currently does.
Overall a pretty decent game, though!
lotta dead people on my watch lol loved this game though fun and lasting entertainment for me at least
God 51850 / 254 s over here! Really addictive and fast paced (towards the end though). The music was nice and mind numbing, which is great for this kind of game, but a little more variation would've been nice (like an extra 10-15 seconds before looping). The art was quite unique, some of the assets actually looked like they were 3D and not pixel art.
That was really fun! It got so hectic and crazy around the 40k point mark that I was struggling just to keep track of it all. Great take on the theme and a lot of fun to play.
Score 59550 PC. I like the mechanic that the meteors destroyed each other so you could get two at once. I don't understand why you decided to make the planet blurry. Good job overall.
Nice game! I had a good time playing it. I Love how you have to push the volcanoes back into the ground :p
I lasted 137s. Interesting game with a cool mechanic. Love that you can fling meteors into each other. Its a nice trick to take out two at once. The art and music are really well done But overall its a game that made me want to play it again! :)
Woah, this game is intense! My best was 175s. The main mechanic was really refined, and you pulled it off fantastically. One of my favorite things that happened was when I had one guy left alive, and two meteors were about to crash right into him... but they both hit each other, saving his life!
My only real gripes was that it was sometimes hard to push the clouds away, and also the non-rounded shape of the planet sometimes made the volcanoes look really goofy.

It was a hard and fun play! This game gives a lot of unique little moments of excitement and release - which I believe a must-have aspect for every game. Well done.
Graphics are a bit non consistent since you have a low res pixel-art (planet, volcanoes), middle-res clouds, hi-res micro habitants and ..oh wow.. a voxel meteor! Try to make it in a one style (voxels, for instance) and it will feel much more complete.
Thank you for the game!
A solid entry! Having played the web version, I can imagine that the mobile version would quite addicting. The art was perfect for this theme, I found the game to be humorous and challenging. Great job on this one.
It's like Bop-It, but played by a god :)
Pretty solid concept. I know time is short but I'd have love to see a few more disasters to manage so you can really achieve the hectic feel of a multitasking game, where your brain shuts down from the input. Pretty consistent game and theming though, good job.
Very challenging game, I love that it lures you into a false sense of security, but it would be nice to have a sound for each disaster so that it is easier to know when they spawn!
Great game, very fun and inventive, Good job (ps .sorry for my bad english)
Neat little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNW6-tGfc3E
