Save the world by attacking the spaceships with your roller-tank. Be warned however, that by shooting you also propel the world in the opposite direction, try not to go off the edge of the screen!
Desktop is recommended, as android has no multitouch at the moment (it was a quick port).
--CONTROLS-- A and D to move the hover-tank. W files the hover-tank's cannon.
--WARNING-- There have been reports of ghost ships. Ships that you can't see and can't shoot but will still kill you. It has been rumoured that if you download and decompile the jar, you can change setRender(false) to setRender(true) in one of the source files to see these strange and deadly ships.

I'd much prefer if the controls for this game used the mouse, since its hard to rotate the cannon around the world fast enough to stop yourself.
Potential for great fun but is way too difficult on Android. Maybe if there was something to slow down the planet gradually or if it could turn faster. Pretty innovative design -- you should definitely polish the gameplay difficulty and try putting it on the Market!
Solid game. Controling the cannon is really a bit hard and I didn't figure how much aliens the earth can take. I only know it's deadly to leave the map.
Very good controls! At first I was like "oh no, not another cannon around the tiny world", but when the earth started moving! Having to control the earth's movement while shooting the enemies in this way gave a very nice twist to an otherwise beaten-to-death theme in this LD.
One thing that would improve your game immensely is the addition of some sort of score. Also, some sort of indication of how many "lifes" you have would be nice too, but less important. Maybe the "boom" sound gets louder as you get closer to dying?
Nice! There's innovation with the combined play elements of shooting and having to stay on screen. Direly missing is a score counter and maybe mouse controls. The cannon is a bit too slow to go to the other side fast enough.
A bit hard but nonetheless very fun to play. Before I knew it I was playing it for 30 minutes. Nice concept maybe some kind of powerup/upgrade system would be cool for a post compo version.
Very fun! I think this was a great idea but it could have used more work in the controls. Using the keys was kinda hard to control the cannon, the mouse would have been a much better choice. Very interesting idea for a game, and it fits the theme extremely well!
I wasn't sure what to think initially, but I got hooked trying to ward off the enemies while keeping myself in the bounds. With a little touch on the controls and a high score board, I could definitely see myself getting lost in this. Good job!
Oh yeah, a simple suggestion to improve the controls -- instead of A,D,W make it A,D, Space, or even A, D, Arrows, Space, W -- so we can shoot with one hand and control the cannon with another.
Great game! The controls and physics felt solid, but it is missing a damage display so you know how many hits the planet can take, and maybe some kind of scoring or progress system. Other than that, very fun.

Cheers!
The game is fun to play and interesting.
Direly missing is a score counter and maybe mouse controls. The cannon is a bit too slow to go to the other side fast enough.
I also would suggest a highscore system for your post-mortem . Not only because it's challenging .
So I can say the game is as-is , it's good but as any other game : improvement here and there should do big things ;)
But without measurement of how long you survive it becomes boring very quick.
I did miss a score system.
