This is a small arcade / puzzle mix I came up with for my first ever Ludum Dare 48.
The game is XNA 4.0 and Windows only unfortunately. Sorry about that :(
Please read the HOW TO PLAY.txt for instructions, but here is a small rundown:
(ARROW KEYS) Select solar system. You should start selecting the one with a planet with a small aura around it
Tap (W) or (SPACE) quickly to evolve the planet. Once fully evolved, a rocket will automatically start traveling to the closest Planet.
Use (D) and (A) to spin planets clockwise / counter-clockwise.
Try getting a rocket to travel to the wormhole before the time runs out
Enjoy! :)
*UPDATE 2* I realized that it might be difficult to understand the concept in the beginning, so I added a short How To Play - Video to the links.
*UPDATE* I re-packaged the installer of the game, so it should now run in English instead of German. The link is updated, but except the installer, the game is completely unchanged! Unfortunately due to the confusing nature of XNA I wasn't able to deploy a simple .exe file. Sorry :(
