Didn't have time to make music sadly. Kinda rushed things in the end, but it'll do!

Controls:
Space to fly up

The little marsian is homesick. Help him! And don't get hit...

EDIT:
Added Mac version.
Now I'm not sure how this will work for you, for me the animations were sadly really laggy but the basic game is still there, enjoy! :D

Hmm looks like you might need Blender for it to work on Mac? I'm still not sure so please let me know.

Haha... Nice! Very ambitious for an LD.. love the animations on the superhero XD

This game is hilarious! I really laughed at the plane and the superhero. Would have been epic with sound!

Funny little Game

Certainly pretty minimalist with the one-button-control and all.

The jet really annoyed me for being cheap though - you need to get swiped by it a couple of times before you know to avoid it.

Please fix the random paths, sometimes it is impossible to go up :D

I think it is a good job

would have been cool to see the birds animate, but fits the theme and works well.
Lol when the plane hits you :P
wallmasterr29 Apr 2013, 08:27
and forgot to mention , Go blender :D

Nicely done! I really like how you interpreted the theme with minimal controls; it's impressive how much control you've given the user through the use of just one button. Also the plane is awesome.

Nice stuff. Really a lot of content for a LD. I got as high as the asteroids.

Very cool, sadly was flickering on my machine (W7 Laptop, intel graphics)

Nice graphics, although not very minimalistic.
Very hard to beat on my laptop. Mouse clicking as alternative speedup method would be nice.

Like others have mentioned, I was stuck by the ambition that you came up with this in 2days. Great effort and I'd say it's the funniest game I've come across in this LD thus far. Cheers!

It seems you made this in the Blender Game Engine? I really wanted to play it, but my Windows says "ludum.exe is not a valid Win32 application", maybe it's because I'm 32-bit.

I got to the asteroids, died and could not handle any more. I really REALLY wish that there were some checkpoints. My wrist is killing me and my keyboard wants to die >_>.

Solid effort however. Just...checkpoints.

Nice models, particularly good animation on the super hero :)

That's funny for a blender game !

@lulzfish_4
Hmm that sucks. I'm not sure about this actually. I know that the computer I used to make the .exe is 64-bit so what you said might be an unfortunate truth :/

Good fun. It would make a good phone game I think.
HelkeGames30 Apr 2013, 10:03
Nice and cool game, great job ;)

Couldn't get it to work here on my pc. Only a black screen showed up :(

I couldn't get past the satellites!

Cool game though, really liked the models, the one button scheme was a really good idea and the superhero was amusing. Good job!

@TheSarcastic
Oh yeah? Hmm to know more about why I need some information about your OS, but you probably won't read this :( That's unfortunate though.

@All
Thanks for all the comments, both the positive and negative! I'll definitely remember to implement some of the things you've said next time.
And for those thinking it's too hard, deal with it >:) I'm gonna be honest it was my intent to make it frustrating! Love you all, peace!:D

I felt that the controls were a bit stiff. I couldn't get past the plane event, despite trying quite a bunch of times. :( I liked the graphics, though! :D
