Thanks Gustav. I made most(?) of the art and pitched the idea for the game being about running out of space on a computer harddrive to meet the theme. I got panicked quite a bit, and lot of ideas were lost in translation, but I will happily observe this game from afar as it continues to develop over time. It's good to see a lengthy review for this game, and it's a pretty good thing that you like an amount of it.
I kinda like this game, and find all the polish put in for a mere 72 hours to be impressive and admirable, but I am absolutely disgusted by how you practically have to use Task Manager to quit the game. Games aren't supposed to be like that. Next time you make a Ludum Dare entry that's relatively perfect in almost every area, add a pause menu with an exit button. It's probably the least time-consuming thing that can be implemented.
Okay, I'm looking at the amount of ratings this game has received so far, and it says "13" - holy crap, this game does *not* deserve to fail the rating requirement. It's so well done that it's hard for me to comprehend that it's a Ludum Dare title. Good job, mate.
Ohhh I love it. I'll have to play it through to the end some time...

If only everybody was this welcoming.
Um, I voted, and here's my "review" - I just want my game to pass judgement. I'm not going to say what I would normally say, because collectively the community is just repeating itself at this point and I'd rather not be part of drilling the same message in. Just keep trying, and if something doesn't work, change it.
Hey look, we're twinsies...!
I really like this game. There was a proper review brewing in my head, but I am le tired. I previously had a goal to uncover the bottom-rightmost gridplace because I thought it might be a win-condition, which I gave up on. All upgrades.
@Darylsteak Hey, shit, that's a really good idea! I could have done that, too. Quite easily. Just had to rocketbody:applyForce() that ship... I also wanted to actually give those lines movement and flavour, but I was strapped for time. They're meant to be Solar Winds, and there's even a PNG picture of how they'd look. It's kind of a shame that I only had enough time to pick the Compo...
@burnedkirby Oh shit, I thought I fixed that bug... Was it after a respawn?
Thanks for the ratings!
I feel I should point out: when programming the rotation, I made at least one mistake - but it's probably not what you think: the rotation stabilizes when the next boost is ready and the Z turns yellow. I wanted to make it so that the ship could get turned around by buffeting from asteroids, and my solution was to... make the "stop turning around" code turn off... *sometimes*. I get your confusion, but knowing all this should make rotation much easier to understand and control.
Actually I might not be back for the April one. :*L* I'm pretty sure I need a break, at the very least.
Still, though - does my game flash at people? If it does, I really want to put that epilepsy warning there. It's the preloader, right?
😇 Thank you for making my game pass judgement, gang! 🕊
Wooooooooooow. I can't believe how hilariously, darkly satirical this game is. Half as dark as Abe's Oddysee, and twice as funny. It really gets that message across and I just love almost everything about the game. The alt+F4 requirement is annoying though. I think every game, no matter what, should have some form of easily-known quit button.
Uh... I like the way it looked.
Yes, I did it!
14 Impossible Circles - Proven possible after all..png
I proved that the thesis was possible!
I'm not crazy about it. I'm glad the physical controlling is much better than that *other* platformer, but this game fails to win me over for a few reasons, not least of which is the fact that the game crashed the moment I tried to load level 2. The other reviews tell me, from the sound of it, that there's a whole world after the first level, but I never actually got to see all of that for myself.
