My goodness, my favorite LD game after reviewing around 50 games. Making it into the core finally was such a thrill that I didn't mind dying there.
Batshit insane, but that makes me love it even more.
Bravo!
I enjoyed it but wasn't exactly sure what I could do to help my bugs thrive versus the others. Once the flowers ran out I definitely had no idea what to do.
Can't play, Mac user. Looks neat though!
Sorry, I can't play since I'm on a Mac.
I wasn't able to make much progress I'm afraid, perhaps there's more after the game that I'm unable to see.
Can't play, I'm an Mac user. Sorry!

Unfortunately, couldn't get this up and running on OSX using the included .sh file. Too bad, looked neat
Sorry, can't play - on a Mac!
Seemed like fun, but it runs far too slow on my my Mac for me to play I'm afraid.
Couldn't find that last shop, but enjoyed it nonetheless! Good job

I'm thrilled to see a board game pop up on Ludum Dare! Good for you, and makes me wonder if BGG should organize something similar for board games.
Have some specific feedback on the game after playing a test round against myself. Overall I think this is a good start but I'd like to see the idea fleshed out further:
* Victory conditions aren't clear. I'm assuming "When last of your planets is gone" but then you don't start with any, so that's a bit odd.
* Are the rules for the "Create a Planet" card the same as for regular planet placement? If so, there's not much point in playing that if could very well help your opponent.
* I find roll-based movement to be really annoying. Coordinating a planetary invasion is VERY challenging as a result.
* I'm assuming units are stackable everywhere and not just on planets?
* Overall, the game is very much a game of chance driven by the die (especially in planet placement). I'd like to see more determinism and less randomization.
Good stuff so far! Keep working on this idea.

As the above had said, crashes at the red door for me.
Impressive so far, hope you keep with it. Gravity amused me in the way it works, but I wouldn't change it at all. The map editor overlay was pretty slick

Interesting idea, but had to quit in order to save my space bar. Also, looks like it isn't loading your music properly.

Sorry, I can't play since I'm on on Snow Leopard and this requires Lion. Too bad, looks neat!

Clever idea, reminds me of Ikaruga.

It's an interesting game. I had the most fun when luring the spheres off ledges to their doom rather than the shooting aspect of it. Perhaps a mechanic to explore in future LD?
Regardless, good job!
Good execution! I liked the zooming effect, but when it happened often I found myself a little nauseated. Well done though!
Enjoyed the first level, but unfortunately couldn't jump on the second. I'm in Chrome 18.0.1025 (OSX) Also it slowed WAY down if I touched the crate on the second level.
Neat! I found it a bit hard to play - the dialogs often seemed to disappear before I could read them and my follower died of hunger often. Love the style though, would love to see more of it!
Good effort. I wasn't able to save anyone at the end, but it was still interesting. Impressed that you had time for animations - I fell short of it!
Good work! I couldn't get the Mac standalone to work, but the web version was just fine.
I wanted to go outside but never found a way!
Very lovely! I would have loved some checkpointing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Has an almost dreamlike mood
Good work! I loved the spectral batter! Pretty challenging to keep click/dragging on the asteroid.
The planet explosion effect was very neat, would love to know how you did that.
Looks neat - I'm on OSX though and can't try it.
Your OSX links to the Windows version. =(
A neat idea, reminded me of the Win3.1 games of my youth. I was *pretty* sure I didn't actually hit a wall at the end, but it was fun nonetheless
Not able to get it running, but it looks neat.
Looks neat - I'm on OSX though so I can't give it a try.
Great job family! I love the monster artwork!
I was so proud of myself when I found the way to that chest!
Interesting. I found the controls *really* difficult but other than that, had a blast playing some dodgeball. =)
Thanks for your comments on my game and article! I like this a lot - pretty frantic to try and cure them in the first few seconds.
On OSX - a shame, as it looks neat to me.
Your OSX version is the Windows version. =(
Thanks for the OSX version. It's dark and lovely, but I can't say I really understood what I was doing. I never saw the pig I was supposed to escort, or the bacon for that matter. So dark!
Took me a loooong time to get past the first level, didn't know I needed the map. =) Love the hand drawn graphics, he's so happy when he jumps!
Not on Windows. A shame, looks neat!
On OSX - a shame, as I'd love to play!
So simple, but I love it! I was elated to finally pull off the rescue.
So well done with so little, really impressive.
A slow, relaxed game. I loved the style of the game, reminded me of classics like Castle and Stronghold.
