I was very interested in this, but your itch page isn't found, did you maybe forget to set it to public?

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 18:27

Im Sorry, forgot to set it to public. It should be working now :) @evannex

dqmhose 2019-10-07 19:06

After the second playthrough all the text kept layering on top of one another, so I couldn't really read anything anymore, but the same thing kept happening. Nice planets, the whole thing gave off a kind of goofy whacky cartoon vibe :D

vhalenn 2019-10-07 19:10

Really interesting concept here ! Even if sometimes text are overlapping each other ! Fun to discoveer !

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 19:10

@dqmhose Sorry to hear that. I knew that was a problem however I didn't know how to fix it. Just refresh the page and you can have the second playthough. Anyways thanks for the nice review and helping me grow as a game creator :) P.S Which ending did you get?

dqmhose 2019-10-07 19:15

@toxiccomputer the one with shooting the red giant. After that there was some more text but it went offscreen too quickly to read. Something about saving the universe?

donut-daria 2019-10-07 19:17

more of a narrative experience, but congrats on fulfilling the theme!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 19:29

@donut-daria @vhalenn Thank you guys for the positive reviews. Very glad to here that you guys enjoyed the game. :)

raomer 2019-10-07 19:41

Interesting game here. I had to shoot the red giant. On the second time..upps, i should have done it differently. Just ignore the atomic fallout please. *Leaves quitly* I must admit, the weird spinning planets did hurt a little, some astronomer weeped in his/her sleep ;)

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 19:47

@raomer Glad you enjoyed the game. I was too bad to animate the planets although I did try very hard. Edit: By The Atomic Fallout did you mean the bad ending?

w0lfenstein 2019-10-07 19:59

Interesting game. I like that kind of music :B Nice work!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 20:10

@w0lfenstein Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

florian-oster 2019-10-07 20:51

Funny game, i liked the animations of the planets (48h to do it style). Good work!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 21:37

@florian-oster thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the game.

twelvoo 2019-10-07 21:42

Nice concept! But in the left-bottom solar system, the texts lay on top of each other. Is it only me...?

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 21:46

@twelvoo I dont see it. Do you mean when you go in for a second playthrough? Also, glad you enjoyed the game.

danielcmcg 2019-10-07 22:00

Nice story telling, liked the mood as well. Fun to discover how it will develop.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-07 22:27

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it @danielcmcg

jordanvang 2019-10-08 02:47

That was a short fun game! The music is super good, I love it! I think that gameplay-wise, there wasn't that much, but I assume that was a design choice, and it was really cool--and the story was pretty funny!

human-writes-code 2019-10-08 12:56

This game made me laugh when I told the warring folks on the Blue Planet to "just sort it out" and they all started apologizing to each other :laughing: There is a bit of a bug when you play through a second time (events from the past game happen automatically and old text layers over new text). I really like the interpretation of the theme. A few people did the "create a universe" theme, but this has been the most fun one I've played so far.

randdir 2019-10-08 15:46

Nice entry with lot of humour but the music doesn't fit for me. Keep it up !

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 01:46

@jordanvang @human-writes-code @randdir Sorry for the late replies! Extremley glad and happy you all enjoyed the game. Thank you so much :)

bustosman 2019-10-09 04:48

I liked how the story had underlying comedic intentions. Decent game.

demuss 2019-10-09 10:47

Nice entry, music was great, it looked good but gameplay, need less to say it was super short, i would love to experience longer story and see how our decisions form the galaxy, not saying 1h campaing with tons of decisions and endings but like 2 more decisions like those we experience in the game, anyway overall nice job!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 15:05

@bustosman @demuss Thank you for the positive review. Glad you enjoyed the game. Also, I do agree the game was kinda short, I don't think I would have had enough time to make it longer though.

jakob-willforss 2019-10-09 18:23

Very dramatic, and interesting in its own way. The music really put the mood on it all! I think the music continued playing in many layers when restarting the game (and got several layers of text too), but after restart I got all the endings. The story could have been elaborated, but I am smiling a lot right now, so that tells me this was good. Thanks :)

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 21:09

@jakob-willforss Thank you so much :). Really Glad you enjoyed the game.

poundthegroundstudios 2019-10-09 21:26

i liked it :)

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 21:28

@poundthegroundstudios Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

goupixm 2019-10-09 21:42

I really like the concept of the game with the choices ! The sound is really good and gives a special atmosphere. I like being able to play the game a few times to see all the different choices ! Good job

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 21:45

@goupixm Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the game :)

jam373 2019-10-09 21:53

Cool game! Interesting choices.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 21:56

@jam373 Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :)

pfeyffer 2019-10-09 21:57

The central planet kept exploding in every universe and configuration - maybe I'm just not meant to be a god :-)

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 22:01

@pfeyffer I have a smile on my face reading your experience. Thanks for the comment, made my day.

ladypossum 2019-10-09 22:02

at the end of the game, i could see what it said first, but quickly the camera snapped to the top left corner leaving the end text off the screen. i was still able to see the ending so it didn't detract from the experience, which was positive overall!!

honey-pony 2019-10-09 22:39

I think my main problem with this game is that it's too short! The first time I played I only got through one choice before it ended. Thankfully there are actually a few more branches than that, I just didn't hit them the first time through.

One thing: I think the planet graphics would be better as vector graphics.

ashashza 2019-10-09 22:40

Cool, it was fun to play through a few times and see how my choices resulted in different endings.

I ran into the same overlapping-text bug (I think the music also duplicates) as others but refreshing the page solves it.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-10 00:26

@ladypossum @honey-pony @ashashza Glad you all enjoyed the game. @honey-pony I will look into vector graphics.

realitycheck 2019-10-11 12:52

Very interesting idea this one. I think this could be expanded to an interesting experience.

As for now, I didn't quite understand what to do. The first solar system I played had some events I could choose. Then I went to the other solar systems and all I could do was add more planets and then it finished on it's own.

If there were more events and a clear indication of what your choices may result in I could see this being a lot of fun to play.

Good job.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-11 22:13

@realitycheck, first off thanks :). Second, it was going to be more choices but I unfortunately ran out of time.

daria-toni 2019-10-11 22:23

It's not a game, it's an interactive fun :) I was really laughing a lot (yeah, I used lightening)!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-11 22:25

@daria-toni Really glad you enjoyed the game :)

thepiratenun 2019-10-12 03:30

This was a very nice idea, but I think it could use a bit more polish in the graphics and the audio to make it feel more complete. I liked the descriptions though, they were quite funny! I'd love to see some more content in this game as well! Nice Job!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-12 22:22

@thepiratenun Happy to know you enjoyed it :)

lars-erik 2019-10-13 19:23

Nice idea. With some more mechanics and something to do with the planets it might be worth evolving. 👍

toxiccomputer 2019-10-13 19:24

I will definitely take that into consideration. Anyways, Glad you Enjoyed the Game :) @lars-erik

mrstari 2019-10-13 19:43

really funny game and idea. the lighting part was really funny :laughing:

toxiccomputer 2019-10-13 19:56

Glad you liked it :) @mrstari

jnsoff 2019-10-14 10:44

Nicea nd interesting game, the idea is pretty cool, and i loved the music

toxiccomputer 2019-10-14 17:32

@jnsoff Thx :) Glad you enjoyed it

asfdfdfd 2019-10-14 19:28

Could not figure out how to play this game. :( Little tutorial may be a big help.

nsadie 2019-10-14 20:55

A bit confusing at first. Interesting concept but would have liked more.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-14 21:44

@asfdfdfd Where did you Get Stuck? @nsadie Thx, Glad you Enjoyed.

asfdfdfd 2019-10-15 13:37

Well. Probably entire concept of the game is pretty confusing for me. I click here and there. Something happens and then i on main screen again.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-15 20:13

@asfdfdfd Heres the thing, were you paying attention to the story?

lootgrounds 2019-10-16 13:46

after the restart texts layer on top of each other and insta death follows. seems like it's a bug, don't know. first time the life was destroyed by atomic bomb though

itsnotagoodtime 2019-10-16 23:43

Hmmm didn't manage to figure the game out. The text often overlapped so I was unable to read it and my planets kept getting shot by scientists. My brain is too small for this. I did enjoy spreading happy magic tho.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-17 00:31

@lootgrounds glad you enjoyed it :) @itsnotagoodtime Others said if you refresh the page it works.

sonnglung 2019-10-19 13:41

Very interesting purpose, but I didn't understand the gameplay, It's full narrative?

toxiccomputer 2019-10-20 02:16

@sonnglung yes it is.

krisdev 2019-10-20 12:06

Like the concept, 4.5/5 but there is a bug where the restart of the game stacks text and music from the previous game.

toxiccomputer 2019-10-20 23:54

@krisdev Thanks, glad you had a relatively positive experience.

dongle 2019-10-23 18:43

Not a bad game! Enjoyed the music. Good job!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-25 18:08

Thx! @Dongle

kristinamay 2019-10-29 16:22

Very cool idea! I would love to see it expanded in the future. :)
