Humans have been colonizing planets. It's time to stop them!
Take to your tank and destroy colonists to collect energy pods to charge a massive bomb. Detonate the bomb when it's fully charged to destroy the planet. Watch out, those pesky colonists are armed with some pretty advanced tech!
Controls: W A S D - Move Mouse - Aim and Shoot E - Detonate bomb when it's charged
Press Enter to advance through screens. Press F1 to disable shaders during game. F3 to toggle fps during game.

Super rad. Enjoyed, but didn't beat (got to level 2). Nice presentation, all the effects are cool. I think I liked the shooting-up-and-exploding effects best.
Great graphics- how did you even achieve that planetlike effect? I love it.

The 3D effect is really nice. But the tractor beam doesn't seem to work as it should? I notice the rocks/stone things to get pushed further away instead of closer to me. Kinda annoying. But good job!
Nice work, I bet this wasn't your first rodeo. ;) The sphere shader thing is pretty awesome. I couldn't figure out how to pick up the powerups, but it was still a lot of fun. Good graphics + audio.
Wow, very smooth gameplay. It feels really physical the way the enemies get pushed back by your bullets. It looks great too, with the wacko red/green 3D effect, even though I couldn't find my anaglyph glasses. Too bad there's no sound :(
Wow, this is amazing. Best LD game I've played so far by a long shot. I found to be far too hard though; couldn't make it past level one. There was also some occasional artefacts flickering; a bunch of vertical white lines.
I can't make it past the second level, but it's so fun, I'm considering trying to play it again tomorrow. A brilliant example of what Love2D can do. The break-down:
+Fun, addicting gameplay +Great visuals -Tractor beams work strangely sometimes -A bit difficult, but that's only a minus for some people.
Graphics and audio are great. Core mechanics are fun and exciting. Is there any way to heal your tank? Sometimes the orbits of the energy pods was odd and too big to hit the pad and seems like I lost them. Loved the fake sphere.
Damn hard, damn good looking, damn fun, and ogosh i hated you during all the 48h because of all the beautiful screens you putted there D:

Awesome music, cool shaders, nice gameplay, I'd say this is by far the best LD25 game I've seen so far, and it's a löve2D game(love the framework)
I LOVE this game. Great concept, great use of LOVE2D.
The only improvement I would have made would have been to be able to sit on the detonation pad and have accumulated energy slowly drained in return for health, at a very inefficient rate of course.
Great game! It's probably my favourite of the 60-something I've played in LD25. Sound is excellent, graphics work well, and it's fun to play :) It did take me a bit to realise what I was supposed to be doing to collect the energy, but then maybe I'm just slow... :) Nice one!
Gfx/Music/Sfx... everything is great!!!! Best use of Love2D shaders capabilities I've seen. The game is a little too hard. But overall a terrific entry. Congrats.

Also, does it work with anaglyph glasses?
The game gets brutal so fast, and it is super fun even when losing. It's much easier when you turn shaders off though.
The sphere shader thing is pretty awesome. I couldn't figure out how to pick up the powerups, but it was still a lot of fun. Good graphics + audio.

I liked the tractor beam mechanic, although it kept making me die. Overall, it feels very complete and polished, great work!
