I really like how the earth turned more and more grey overtime

That's a nice take. One thing that caught my eye (possible improvement I guess?) is that as more factories appear the health bar depletes and the planet gradually turns but these two thing do not seem to be in sync which to seemed to be logical.

i REALLY like the effect how the trees pop out at the beginning!but right click with my mouse doesn't always work in the web version... nevertheless VERRRY cool!!

Good work with this game. Nice concept.

Very good entry! Graphics, animation and music goes nicely together and create nice mood. Good job! I would suggest one fix. The left-right movement controls behave differently from up-down keys, which confuses me a lot. I'm not sure that was the supposed effect. Either left and right mapping should be swapped, or up with down, IMHO. I have played on the web build. Thank you.

I like the music and everything looks really good, especially in how they shake and jiggle. I thought the spinning of the planet was the most fun part though.

Nice game and concept! Really had some fun playing, i found the mechanics of the vaccum and hammer very cool. Only at some parts the vaccum or the hammer didn't work, i didn't knew if i was aiming it correctly or some bug but it didn't take the enjoyment overall.

So far, this is one of the most faithful interpretations of the theme and that deserves some praise. *Gives praise*

Liked the game, didn't realize at first i had a vacuum which made the game a bit harder then it was supposed to be, but that's just because i think about it.

Nice game! I liked the rotating planet mechanic. I wish there was a way to invert rotating left and right, it really confused me at first. Great work!

The controls kind of messed me up a bit. I keep thinking since the hammer is in the right hand that its right click instead of left and vice versa for the vacuum, and the fact that up and down arrow keys follow the same direction but left arrow key makes it go right and vice versa for right arrow key always confuses me too. I also thought the factory had to be on the middle of the screen for me to smash it and didnt realise that it followed my cursor for quite a while. That aside, the game was really fun. I really adore your low poly art style and the music fits well with the game too. Good job!

Great art, nice concept. I also wish the controls weren't inverted, was a bit confusing :D

This game was amazing! Much unlike it's other competitors, it had relaxing music, perfect graphics and amazing mechanics. It was a very interesting game play/concept and really put through the message of 'saving the planet' to me. However, if there is anything this game can improve on, it's the controls. I found that it confused me, if it could be just one key like "L" for hammer and "C" for vacuum. All in all, an exceptional game. I could tell that there was a lot of effort put into this. 👍
