You Only Get One Planet

Coolness★★★★★★★★★★24%

This is our second Ludum Dare Jam! This time it's a game about aliens invading Earth because their planet self destructed (silly aliens)!

You have to protect the Earth by firing lazer bullets at the aliens and meteorites that come from the explosion of the alien planet.

Unfortunately, we ran into a few problems* so we didn't have time to add aliens, so there are only meteorites for now... :)

Enjoy!

It doesn't seem to be loading for me. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my computer or the game, but I'm running the latest version of chrome with flash enabled.

There is a problem with a Starling extension we use (the game only ran on one of our machines in IE with Flash Player v11.9.900.152 with ActiveX). We're waiting for a response from the developers of the extension. We updated the description of our entry with more information about the problem.

I can't seem to aim very accurately. It's only shooting towards my mouse cursor at north/south, while skewing further away as I approach east/west. Might want to check your trig math.

The game has good core mechanics there, shoot approaching things, but needs little something more to stay interesting, I didn't really feel the game getting any harder, or maybe the increase is very slight. Funny thing that there was not a single alien beyond the intro.

@AdventureIslands Haha, we ran out of time so we didn't add aliens :P

We're probably going to upload a post-jam version with UFOs, difficulty levels and some bug fixes in a few days.
