Super game, so adictive to keep playing. I'll rate later 👌 Talking sound and font is a great feature.

Very cool game ! I love the artstyle and the character voices !

Never played Eufloria, but agreed on the Banjo talking sound and font for the cat enemies! Art is very well done!

very cute graphics!

This is an awesome entry! Love the health management through little aliens, I could definitely see this as a primary mechanic in a larger project. Overall, very clean and a great game. Excellent stuff!

Awesome game! While the concept isn't entirely new, it is a very fun one, and you implemented it really well! I ended up winning two free-fire games before I realized it was just endless from that point onwards - the chaotic three-way battles were super fun! The graphics are very cute, and I liked the music & talking sounds. It took me a bit to realize that the size of the planet determined the maximum amount of aliens it could hold, although that did make a lot of sense, so it's probably on me. Displaying the exact number of aliens on each planet and the maximum number it could hold would've helped I think, and I kept missing planets accidentally and sending people on very long and pointless voyages (which was an interesting strategy to avoid hitting the population cap), but otherwise, amazing entry!

Just Wow! Amazing game. Very fun and addictive. Cute art style and awesome sound design!

I love how this game looks, I feel like it would make for a really good puzzle type game as well!!!

This was really fun! It's a unique idea and executed very well, with a super cute art style!

The only complaint I have that it's a bit tricky to get the number of creatures to the rocket correctly, as it keeps changing and as the situation gets chaotic, it feels like you're losing because of the controls. Maybe consider at least pausing the game while the player launches the rocket? Also as mentioned above, # of current inhabitants + planetary max would be nice information in the UI.

Definitely one of my faves so far!

@arzi @frogman Thanks ! Ive implemented numbers on planet to show current/capacity, slowing the game speed when you drag is a really nice idea ! :smiley:

this game is soooo fun. very intuitive controls . definitely in my top games so far! nice work!

dede333 2023-10-04 16:19

Very good games even if it is a known gameplay, good realisation and good art style.

whaaat, i love

proz 2023-10-04 16:29

So clean and polished! Love this game)

davision 2023-10-04 16:48

That whacky art is really cool! The game concept is also nice! It was a bit confusing at first with dragging it out to increase amount of people to send bc I expected it to be the the launch speed to reach further planets. Its also not as easy as you expect from the rather cute art

Great game! I had so much fun playing it and I got the giggles too Noticed a bug: I was about to launch a rocked when I won the round and the next button disappeared. So the space was literally limited lol

surune 2023-10-04 16:59

Polished and cool game! Nice to play, can I get some explanation about connection between the theme and this game?

fusionnist 2023-10-04 17:16

What a nice entry! I wish there were more!

aznoqmous 2023-10-04 17:42

@rasboy Yeah you can still play after the win screen, and emptying a plant will close the win panel :stuck_out_tongue: @surune The space on each planet is limited, also you play on a limited number of planets in space I guess ? The original idea was Limited space -> "Out" of space

treenut 2023-10-04 20:17

neat game, accidentally skipped a bunch of levels though when I tried to control the camera with wasd and got confused why i'm purple now. was fun though!

kiberptah 2023-10-04 20:54

What I liked: - Basically everything :) Very cool game, feels addictive and mobile-ready!

What I didn't like: - No volume slider and music is rather loud...

Are levels procedural? I think I played like 5 or 6 of them and them just suicide the whole population (bad idea).

Nice and unique look and I loved seeing the little dialogue box with the alien sounds. The sounds overall were really good and the art was super nice too. To be honest, I found the mechanic a bit stressful clicking around trying to send my spaceships, and I was often not sending the amount I intended to, or landed my people somewhere I didn't want to. But it looked so good and was so polished that I still really enjoyed playing. Impressive work!

chompdev 2023-10-22 21:59

Congrats on the 2nd place win for Fun! I really enjoyed playing this one and the art and audio work together very well. This was definitely a "just one more level" type of game for me and I just couldn't stop playing :) Great work - you should be really proud of this one!
