Really cool! Very simple, original idea, and very fun.

Wow, I love this concept: very Innovative ! Good stuff ! =]

Fun little game. I didn't initially realise I could move, because I clicked through all the initial menus with one shot. which also shot my bullet.. So I sat static until my bullet got stuck, then learnt I could move!

Was interesting. has almost a bullet hell appeal.

Yesss this game was a lot of fun.

This was really amazing. I've never played a game like this before, so it was interesting to see what you'd do with it, and you didn't disappoint. I feel like this is a lot of work for 2 days too, so good job. How do you kill the worm, though? I attacked it repeatedly and it reappeared 4 times then I got bored... Anyway, really nice job!

All I was thinking while I was playing was: WHAAAT! This game is awesome! Such a clever idea I want to cry! Congrats!

This feels very well polished/tested as demonstrated by little things like the line from objects to the planet and how you attract the bullet at a certain distance. The music is a little annoying but otherwise this is a strong entry!

Ps. Great feedback for destroying enemies

One of the best games I've seen so far.

Trippy fun! Fun to master recollecting your projectile after shooting it, though i must say that I'm unsure of how to defeat Jim, or whether I'm even damaging him.

Really great use of the theme. I love the graphics, controls, and even music. Totally shocked when the worm appeared as well!

Awesome fun! Great concept and execution :) Died on the worm a few times but I did eventually improve.

Ahah I loved your sense of humor ! This game has a great great quality and will be a top game for sure ! Perfect audio, perfect graphics, perfect mechanics, just perfect !

this is a really good game, I keep dying on the first boss :/

i didn't know what i was supposed to do at first and after shooting him a few times and nothing happening i though maybe i needed to touch it, which obviously ended up with me taking a bunch of damage. i died then.

then i was playing and something happened and i accidentally ran into it with full health and i heard the taking damage noise play like 10 times over each other and i died.

i dig this game a lot, i'd love to see a fuller version of this!

Fantastic idea - well polished, fun *and* funny. I felt a little claustrophobic, maybe a slightly larger planet would have given more room to dodge? Good job though, especially the worm animations :)

This was really cool. Smooth and original gameplay. Love it :)

Amazing! It reminds me Super Mario Galaxy, very good job! And good election and mechanic to implementate the theme.
TheCams17 Dec 2013, 21:26
Great concept, nice graphics, loved it !
Just add a feedback when you hit the worm, and maybe improve the sound a bit, and you have a perfect game !

This is great. Would be nice to have some visual feedback when you hit the worm, maybe flash red or something. Other than that this was a pretty solid entry, orbiting mechanic was really well done.

LOVED IT * ;)

Nice and smooth gameplay. Really love small planet games :)
Faust18 Dec 2013, 15:53
Nice idea, I like it.

This is a concept I'd love to see expanded into a full game. "You only get one bullet...but you can catch it and reuse it!" Brilliant! :3

Great game! Liked that the bullet is attracted to you if you are close enough.
AlanZucconi19 Dec 2013, 15:52
Lovely executions! :)
I wasn't expecting the worm hehe! :D

Awesome entry, I love the movement on a sphere and how you represent everything, drawing the lines down to the surface makes it really clear where everything is. I'd love to see this polished!
fluffypillow20 Dec 2013, 11:28
Simple and fun, would play again :)

I really enjoyed this game. The bullets around the sphere are incredibly well executed. Not sure how to defeat the worm though, I keep shooting him but he never seems to die.
ThatGuy20 Dec 2013, 23:47
Very cool idea and well executed too. The game was a lot more interesting when I noticed I could move the ship. Great work!

Hm...Jim doesn't look anything like he did in his previous games. Looks a lot more like an Arrakin sandworm. :P

Really cool little game. Wasn't able to win, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it.

Great game! Jim was a boss worthy of mario (and quite reminded me of some of the Bowser fights in Super Mario Galaxy)
10/5 for humor. (Although I didn't see the "...nvm" the first time through, and it was a bit weird)

Orbital physics is such an underused mechanic, good to see it used well.
GaTechGrad25 Dec 2013, 07:29
Neat little shooter. I couldn't figure out how to beat the worm. It would have been nice if the bullet would boomerang back to you after a period of time, instead of continuously orbiting the planet.

Unfortunately, there's no Unity web player for Linux :(

5/5 for innovation! Loved the game, and the awesome way you implemented the theme.
