Pick up loot and bring them to other stars within 10 seconds!

Comet Run is my first entry to Ludum Dare. I t was very funny to make this game and I'm very happy with the result. Why don't you try it yourself?

With your mouse you control a comet that has to pick up loot from stars and bring it to other stars. But... you only have 10 seconds to do this, unless you move over the stars, which act as checkpoints to refill your timer. Each loot item has a value that decreases if you are longer carrying it. Try to make as much money in the least time.

Nice work. Would have liked to be able to intentionally drop one of my loot (think it was possible but tricky). Found it ran quite laggy on my machine.

Good Job, Looks great and the sound is good. I did however get bored after playing it as it did not progress. All in all you did a good job.

Thanks! I was planning to add more levels, but because of time lack I couldn't implement them. I'm planning to add them at a later stage.

Not too shabby! It's interesting to try to optimize routes, and the music fits it well.

I've noticed the game stuttering a bit on my end, although it's nothing too serious.

moving the mouse causes quite a lot of stutter for me too. otherwise it's nice :)

I really like this. Took me a second to figure out the courier mechanic but had a fun tense time flying across space. Great game!

I'm in love with that music you used. It looks and handles great.

Overall very fun, could use some work on the graphics. I was confused at first but then I got it and it didn't feel like any game I had ever played, so kudos for that!

Good fit for the theme, and nice controls, music was nice and went well with the game. Gratz!

great visuals and music, fun gameplay.
for some reason frame rate drops quite low for me. otherwise congrats on creating a really slick game.

very good. I find the idea of picking stuff and making money as a comet quite funny.
