You are the protector of this planet. You have kept it safe from disaster for hundreds of years. But now a new threat has arrived. Your planet has been swallowed by a giant vessel.
I really enjoyed my first Ludum Dare. Thanks for taking the time to play my game!
If you're interested in what went into this; I used Otomata for music, bfxr for sounds, Audacity for audio editing, GIMP for tiles and sprites, kilo (my JS library) for base code, and JavaScript edited in Eclipse (with Aptana and MercurialEclipse plugins used)! Also, bitbucket for play hosting and code repositories.
I like the megascale structure interpretation of the theme, very space opera/sci-fi. The difficulty ramp was well judged and there were some nice risk/reward dilemmas thrown at the player. Nice crisp graphics too, I persevered until I beat it ;)
I really liked the atmosphere of it, and I felt so guilty the first time I had to shrink. Controlling the planet was great.
I feel like the hitbox for the lightning and dead planets was maybe a bit too large; There were a few times where I was hit when I thought I was safe, but maybe I just suck :P
I quite like the concept, the music was pretty cool too. I couldn't get that far though, since it's very difficult for me. Nevertheless, it's pretty cool.
Interesting concept and good music. I didn't get very far though. The dead planets hitboxes seem to be square, which seems off as I keep dying without actually touching them.
