Well, I'm not really satisfied with this one... First, I could not work on Sunday, so I had to send as a Jam entry. Second, I had more duties on Monday so I could only add the main menu and sound effects, making a total of around 16 hours for working on the game...
For the first time I felt uncomfortable with the theme, so I just tried to make a game with minimalistic graphics and kind of simple gravity.
HOW TO PLAY: - Click to jump off planets. - Jump from planet to planet. - Orbit around them to destroy it. - Avoid potatoes, as they'll kill you. - Beware of gravity, it can send you to outer space.
It gets boring around level 10 :(
I'll upload Win, OSX and Linux binaries as soon as I find the time.
EDIT: The music was really annoying after a few... seconds, so I added a "button" on the right so you can toggle it.

Really enjoyed this wee game. I think mixing up the planets and potatoes more so that the obstacles dont all appear together at the start of the level would help add variety. Great game, thanks!
The only problem I had with this game is that my orbits were perfect ellipses, so the logic I have learned from playing far too much Kerbal Space Program kinda made it harder for me.
i found this one very enjoyable - great job with the gravity physics (especially the interaction of gravity fields between multiple planets), and groovy music. Overall, very polished and well executed. Good job my friend.
When I actually figured out the controls, I really enjoyed this game. Loved the smilies on the planets.
Minuses: annoying music and maybe could've been a bit more zoomed out? And why the player wants to destroy planets, when the player dies if being in naked space too long... beats me :D
But the thing that matters, played for a good while, as it was real fun!
A bit confusing how the jumping worked at first. It also seemed liked the planets furthest away had the strongest pull on the player. But the presentation was nice, and it was pleasing when I managed to thread a jump through a densely packed pack of space spuds. :)
cool, Linux version works for me on Fedora17 (dunno what's holding back the Unity browser plugin, then). Played to level 11 before I got bored. Gets interesting around level 5 when you can't get to that one lone planet because a bunch of other planets (and potatoes) are pulling you the other way :)
The graphics are quite nice. I enjoyed playing the game very much. I think the levels would be a bit more interesting, if they were more "2-dimensional", since they seem to be a single chain of objects. Although very nice entry!
Fun! It got annoying that the planets take 1-2 seconds to be able to destroy, since sometimes it means waiting for another orbit to be able to go to the next planet, but that was fine ;P

Simple yet challenging!
Good job! :p
