Emergency Stop is an epic story about people surviving after the terrible global cataclysm...
Just kidding! :P
This game is pretty simple! Rotate the Earth during 10 seconds as fast as you can and you'll see an awesomeness :)

Controls:
Mouse wheel - rotate the Earth (scroll it as fast as you can!)

The main goal is to reach maximum score. Leaderboard is under construction by now. Put your score in the comments if you wish.

Simple but great style! :D Though you should probably keep in mind not all people have working mousewheels ;) I haven't really seen the mousewheel used as the only control in a game before haha. Also the particles could use some more effects... But otherwise cool idea

Hahaha, for the first time, I played with my mouse upside down like with a spring powered car! =)

At first I was like, this is a simple game. Then 10 seconds was up and I died of laughter. The music was perfect and the game play was simple. It made my day hearing the people fling away at the end.

Short, sweet and hilarious. Think it's the first LD27 game I played that had humor in it. Good job!

Hah. OK. That was cute. Well produced.

I wonder if this is an area where those gaming mice come in handy? I got about 4.5 mil

Great fun. Nice use of the mouse wheel!

I love that it is such a simpel game. Good job!
I used the trackpoint to scroll at first, because I wasn't in reach of a mouse. If I do that, I don't have to do that much. It feels a bit like cheating I guess :P On the technical side, I can't seem to be able to see the whole screen when I run it on Ubuntu.

Good stuff! What you haven't accounted for is that I have a scroll wheel that can spin really fast for 5 minutes without any help from me :P

I don't seem to be able to finish this game, the timer reach 0, i see particles (people?) being launched from earth, but it just keeps spinning, and nothing else happens :(
Will Edwards28 Aug 2013, 05:27
Each time the world stopped spinning I felt slightly weightless :)

Neat concept! And it would be not all that great if not the title of the game! :D

Btw, after I figured out what's the best strategy it was easy to achieve insane score of 41,168,740,000. Didn't know there's so many. :D

Ha ha, I love this!
So simple, yet so good. Awesome use of mouse wheel. Perfect selection of assets (although a little bit of a shame that it appears none are of your own creation).
Brilliant!
