This is our second LD and i think we are suffering from a curse or something because in every jam we had one designer or one programmer quit on us and ended up doing their tasks thus limiting our time to do the things we planned.
Oh well, the game is about a kind of Tower Defense in space. We wanted to a lot of things and add a lot of gameplay stuff but in the end, due to the time restrains we didn't.
We didn't even have time to put some instructions in the game, so it goes like this:
You can add Defense Drones to your planet with your mouse by dragging and dropping the drones to your orbit.
Hi there. Nice looking and playing game you've made! I found it fairly easy to reach a state where all orbits were full and I could deploy no more towers... I then lost with a score of 912 once the attack size became crazy-big! Good job, would like to see more, multiple planets, tower/orbitals upgrades etc.
Agrees with @mrexcessive. I would like to have been able to replace/upgrade defender orbs, and maybe buy more orbits or something like that. But very nice game :)
Good: * Nice details on graphics, loved the background star effects. * Ok music, ok sound. * Nice game idea and it's fun to play.
Bad: * It's a little short and after a while I'm unable to buy more "planet" defenders and game ends with overwhelming amount of enemies; * It needs some more balance on prices/damage and this alike. * Weak theme usage
Nice Game! I likt Tower Defence Games and the idea with "rings" and moving towers is nice. I would have liked to see some upgrades or a remaining Lives counter. The Music line got me really annoyed after some runs.
Really fun, but it's all over too quickly because I can't remove or upgrade the defences. Please add more levels or something to increase the life of the game.
Nice tower defense, I liked the idea of using orbits as places to set barriers. Music repeats itself a little, but it matches with space theme. Good work.
Yes, unfortunately we had a snag and lost one of our programmers and his task had to be done be the others so we ended up cutting much from the gameplay we wanted to do.
I liked the idea of having tower defence withn otwer that moves on orbits. Audio was generally positive(4/5). Graphics were ok(3/5). I didnt really have fun from playing tbh.
I like the idea a lot, it had potential. Since you mentioned team problems and running out of time, from my own experience with programming projects: maybe you are just too many people. You'd be amazed what can be done with just two people (or even one, for that matter).
Cool game and it's very nice considering that you hadn't enough time to do more things. It would be interesting a post-compo version with more stuffs! :D My best is 997.

Wish I could put more planets in orbit, or delete ones to make room for different ones.
