Thanks for the game. I like this kind of defensive game and it makes a lot of sense. I enjoyed the graphics and it was really nice. It would make it even nicer if it would be possible to have some kind of scoring system and maybe a more progressive difficulty.
Keep up the good work :)!
nice game
Was fun too play , good game !
I just found out that the mac version is not playable. Sorry about this everyone. I have added the game to itch but that version has a tutorial and a score system in place so i would rather not have that version reviewed for the game jam. If you wan to play it i would appreciate any comments on that version be left on the itch.io site. Here is the link https://nostram.itch.io/protect-the-planet . Thanks!
This was great! Lots of fun to play. The stary background is nice :smile:
Really fun to play enjoyed the simple controls!
Good game with intuitive and simple controls. I liked the graphics and the strategic part added by the spinning planet and the direction of the lasers and the vacuum. Good job!
Really like the game. One problem I had was placing turrets down on the planet. I had trouble trying to move the turrets to a location I wanted to move it to. It would always move too fast or too slow around the planet. I also found a bug where you could go into negative money if you purchased the increase turrets counter. I'm guessing you're only checking to see if you have positive money when doing purchases. But small nitpicks aside I had a lot of fun playing this game.
Nice game! I also made an Earth defense game.
It is challenging. Especially because the turrets have lifetime. Goodjob.
I liked how you kept the controls to one button! This really made the game fun to play! Greato Jobu! :smile:
Really nice game. It reminds me of the game [Planetoid Defense](https://elmzran.itch.io/planetoid-defense), which I would recommend playing if you want to develop this further. You have enough unique ideas that this stands on its own, especially the idea of turret lifetimes could be interesting if developed further. Currently, I think the biggest issue is overall balance. The game starts to hard and very easy to get stuck in a position where you can't win. For example, if you have no money and your vacuum expires, you have lost the game. There's nothing for you do but wait for. I think you might need to look into how others games avoid loss states like this, maybe something like a shooting star that the player can click on and gives them some free money at random intervals. I like what you have, and I would be interested in playing a more developed version!
@wrimo Thanks for the feedback and thank you for showing me that game. I wasn't able to install it on my computer for some reason but i did watch the video. I have been receiving a lot of amazing feedback regarding the game and how to expand on it. The beginning two waves (mainly the first one) are the hardest. If you can set yourself up right in those two waves you should get past the first six waves. After that the difficulty really starts. Also many people have mentioned the placement is a problem for them, as the defense items sometimes end up on the opposite end of the planet and not where they wanted it. I have made it so that if you keep holding down the mouse as you place the defense item on the planet you can then rotate it around to a position you want. I don't think it is intuitive and that is why people are missing it. Maybe a better tutorial is needed. I have had many people send me images of high scores (over 150k) and commenting on how addicting it can be, which is amazing. Thank you and everyone else that has played and rated my game.
Nice game, it is pretty chalenging but not impossible, good balance
Had a lot of fun! Hope you will expand gameplay as it gives really good TDF experience. =)
I really like this genre of game. Yours is challenging and the background is pretty. Maybe a bit too hard, and my music stopped after a few minutes in the game.
@colozz Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing my game. That is weird that you had music at all because i never added any.
@milano23 that's funny. I had launched another game before yours and its launcher bugged resulting in the game not launching. I think the music came from this one before it ultimately crashed.
Love the game..
