If you can post a web version more people can try.

@tolmera, thanks for the suggestion, I've just added a Web build! :)

I like the graphics and the idea. Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to shoot at anything. It would be cool to see more planets and see what resources they would have on them

~~I don't know whether the game is broken or whether I'm being a doofus, but I can't work out how to shoot. I assume I'm meant to aim with the mouse and click? Nothing appears to happen when I do that - although after a few minutes of fiddling about I did notice that I apparently had 3 dreams, so maybe something did happen.~~

I didn't read the description properly, sorry. It works!

The dreams are the white things that appear over the planet, and they have to be clicked to be collected. The gun unlocks after the first objective, which is 10 dreams.

I'm not sure if it is the new web version or what, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to shoot. I've pressed R to enable the shooting mode, but then nothing seems to happen. Pressing left click, right click, space, enter... nothing seems to work. @allan-urique if you have any advice let me know, because this game looks like a ton of fun and I'm excited to play it :)

This is fun, and I like the Dyson Sphere theme. Unfortunately, I'm finding the dreams quite tedious to collect compared to the shooting. Perhaps I'm still slow after Ludum Dare's lack of sleep, but I'm often getting to them a split second too late. That's probably just my poor twitch/shooter gaming skills!

I think I've encountered a bug. I've achieved the numbers for the second objective, but it hasn't acknowledged that I've competed it.

Visuals are very pretty!

@lookleftstudio I had that problem. You have to complete the first dreams objective, then the gun unlocks. It does say that in the description, but it's a bit hidden. The dreams objective is clicking on 10 dreams - the white things that appear briefly over the planet.

@merin-car-trunk-key, thanks for playing and for the feedback! To shoot you need to complete the first objective and them press "R" to enable the Railgun. I've updated the description to make this more clear!

Too bad the controls are so tight, unfortunately couldn't play. But looks really nice and I always like the space theme.

lookleftstudio 2023-01-10 15:00

@theothersamp That makes sense! I saw the dreams popping up over the planet, but I assumed it was an energy shield to block the asteroids from hitting the planet. I'll give it another spin.

After playing the game I think it would be a bit more clear if the dreams only appeared on the dark side of the earth, since that is where most people would be sleeping. Another thing that would be really useful is to have a little icon next to each resource that shows what it looks like in the game.

@theothersamp, thanks for plaaaaying! Hahaha they are very quick indeed, you have to be fast..

I wasn't able to reproduce the bug you mentioned unfortunately, but I'll look into what might've caused it, thanks!

Look cool, play boring.

Seems to bugged sadly, I've fulfilled the conditions for the first upgrade stage, but it's not updating them :(

Graphics and music is very nice, but I don't understand how to play, I tried to read the description and tutorial, but it doesn't help me. Game is good-looking, but gameplay is very confusing.
