LOL that's a lot of humans piled up on this one planet. They're all definitely dead by now. Is there a lose condition to this game? I feel like I should have gotten it at this point. Perhaps the game wants me to fill up to the brim with humans all the way across?

Its raining humans - is this supposed to happen.png

I didn't really like how the fan is like a one-time use item once you press the space bar and then have to wait several seconds before recharging. I think it would have been more ideal to have it so that the giga fan only activates when you are pressing and holding the spacebar, so that the player has more control over how much of the fan's power they use instead of the fan just simply going until you run out of power, even when you don't have humans falling into the planet yet.

There also could have been more indication as to where the humans are going to fall. At the moment, it does feel random, since they seem to rotate around the planet before falling in a completely different area from where you see them, and it changes all the time. You could consider having the humans fall slowly towards the planet to begin with, then speeding up as they get closer to the planet's surface. Sort of like a gravitational pull, eh?

The human physics were pretty goofy and I like how humans managed to catapult themselves into space then land on this one planet that apparently is not too far off from Earth. :stuck_out_tongue: Like I said, I'm almost certain that none of those humans that fall to that planet are actually alive by the time they hit the planet's surface. No wonder they look like soulless silhouettes. :joy:

Oh yeah, I was wondering...was the music composed specifically for the game, within the scope of the jam? Just curious, seeing as there is someone credited for the audio in your game's description. If that was the case, you could have opted into the audio judging category. I did think the music was quite nice, and suitable for the game. (But if it was free music by that composer/composed outside of the jam, etc. then you'd opt out of Audio).
