This is great! Very fun and satisfying mechanics. Nice graphics and a good twist to the "prevent the exponential spread" concept with a planet as the arena. Would love to see a version with even more powers.

This was a fun little game. I like the overpopulation idea of the theme
Good concept and easy to understand controls. I would have liked for my decisions of where to strike with one or the other attack to feel more impactful. I might have been wrong, but it seemed like people spawned based on buildings, so the lightning attack only hitting people didn't seem to do much.
Like the controls, clean and straightforward graphics. I liked the sound effects.
Nice concept with not much controls which makes it good but even if it's inevitable, you have too little control over what happens in the game so it finishes very quickly. It doesn't feel like we delay anything at all. Otherwise, nicely done.
The music is soooo good.
Good take on the theme with very straightforward mechanics. Really fun. If there was a way to know how good a run was, I would defenitely spend more time trying than I care to admit.
Kudos on your submission!
The giant smile on the planet was a great way to indicate the "health bar" without requiring that UI element. Great idea, it made the game feel more polished.
Neat game ... Protect the trees!! It would have been nice to keep some score and display it
Really nice game! Some sort of timer or even a leaderboard would be absolutely amazing. Also I basically managed to stabilize by just having one house left and immediately killing everyone who spawns :D

Great game! The graphics were perfect for the very absurd concept and sound design complemented the rest of the game really well. My only critique would be the lack of a "score" counter- since the annihilation of the Earth is purportedly "inevitable", wanting to beat your high score would make for a good incentive to replay the game. Even though it's possible this might have been a conscious design decision rather than a result of the time constraints, I think the game could really benefit from having a bit more than just the two existing abilities. Maybe you unlock new abilities as time goes on? I suppose that's more than can be expected for a compo game lol.
Overall, good job! I had a lot of fun playing and think it could be something you can release on Steam with just a bit more polish :D
It is deceptively hard since you end up burning up trees but it was quite fun nonetheless, also you should add other natural disasters
This was a lot of fun! The mechanics are simple but really polished and feel really good. I love saving up that meteor and teaching those humans the errors of their way. I really wish there was a score because I feel like I did really well on my last playthrough. Overall, still a great game :)
Why is it so damn satisfying to smite the puny humans?! Maybe it's the amazing squishing sound effects... ^^ I also love the contrast between the well-produced happy sounding music while literally commiting mass murder. At the same time, your take on the theme is extremely true when looking at the state of the world and when you think about it, it's a very grim outlook, which again contrasts the happy music very well. I only wish I could delay the inevitable in the game (and in the real world for that matter) a little bit longer to keep squishing more humans because it's so satisfying. One of my favorite games of the event so far. Great job!
That was actually a fun game, albeit it was a bit stressing to play. I felt pressured to use my abilities as fast as possible, making me spam mouse buttons all the time. Which in itself isn't bad, but you could possibly look into making the abilities go off while you hold buttons (and not click), since you probably don't want to lose precious time by not using abilities immediately as their cooldown ends. A winning screen would also be cool, when you actually destroy all the humans. I know it wouldn't quite fit for the jam theme (since it would not be inevitable if you can win :D), but still it felt quite weird that the houses just reappeared in random spots after I've destroyed everything.
Overall, the concept is a really good foundation and with a bit more work and polish it could fit on Kongregate and simmilar sites imho.
Nice concept, very fun and satisfying ! Art is simple put effective and the music is pretty nice too. I think a difficulty a bit more progressive would make the game more enjoyable, or maybe if cooldowns were a bit shorter. As it stands you're overwhelmed really quickly, which feats the theme well but makes the game a little bit too short without really a possibility to get better
Nice game! I love the art style. The music is fine, and the sound effects are nice and funny. I wish there were more powers to use, but I get it takes time to create them :) Great job with the game!
