Nice job guys! :)

I liked it! The graphics were simple, clean, though I don't quite understand the dinosaur. I enjoyed the progression, and felt the pacing was good. I wished that the gun I controlled got better over time (maybe I missed that part). Also, it wasn't totally clear how much damage I was taking or when I was going to lose. Also, and I could be wrong, but it felt like the auto turrets were shooting through the planet. Maybe this is intended (or maybe I didn't see this correctly) but if so then it makes it less important about where you place the turrets. Cheers!

Good game, overall I liked everything. I just found it too difficult to target properly, maybe it's just me. Congrats

The game looks pretty and the planet generation, although meaningless to the gameplay, is a nice gimmick. The game was pretty fun too and I might've *really* enjoyed it, were the controls a bit better. I felt like the cannons weren't aiming right at my mouse but were always slightly off. Since controlling Turrets on opposite sites of the planet at the same time was too difficult for me I opted to place them all next to eachother, giving me a more shotgun-like shot, making the aiming easier and tried to cover the rest of the planet in autoturrets. It seemed to me, however, as though I was only able to control a few of the turrets at the same time? Or maybe the mouse-detection-radius of the rapid ones was just smaller? Anyway, that made my method of playing pretty frustrating.

Fun game overall though and, again, cute graphics.

It was a fun game, although the turrets were a little hard to aim with.

Truly an awesome experience! The game looks great, plays great, a very strong entry. Great job, guys)

The graphics and the music are nice, the UI didn't match the low poly graphics, but that isn't too big of a deal. I think that more dinosaurs should start appearing the farther you get, but other than that, Awesome Game!

Good paper background, very good sound and other art. Turrets after Earth dead continue shoots. Great job!

I've said it before, but I'm not very good at these sorta games with all this foresight and all that. Nevertheless, I can see the effort put into this and you did a great job.

A very strong entry. Targeting was a bit of a challenge as previous commenters have said.

That is a really good project. I like the main gameplay and the whole mechanics. Your project fits with the theme. I was impressed by the level of quality. The aesthetic is gorgeous. I had fun playing it. Well done. Thumbs up. Highly rated ++

Nice entry. Hope this vote helps you. Maybe you also go and check out my game!

Overall I enjoyed it, very polished, but I think the view is a little zoomed in. Between the slow rotation, limited turret arc, and close view, I had a lot of trouble shooting the incoming objects.

The art style is simple but effective, I like the low-poly look. The idea is very cool. Hope you take it further!

WOW!!! Great job! Graphics are pretty much perfect! Just zoom out a little bit ;)

Hey, really liked this game! I enjoyed protecting my dino.

Only downside was that I couldnt tell what the health of my planet was easily- maybe there was some indicator, but I couldnt find it.

My favorite bit was how the little destruction particles got in an orbit around the planet- nice sense of permanence there :)
