This is my first game done in Unity (and my first Game Jam done alone). I went in the opposite direction of the theme, and made a game about disconnecting world instead via explosives. The main mechanic is angling your rocket and accounting for gravity to snake your rocket into a shiny galaxy system.
I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The game mechanic played out exactly how I imagined in my head, and so that was exciting to see on screen.
I spent a lot of time just learning the tools but luckily a lot of the artwork could just be handled with perlin noise and shaders, so I think that saved me time in the end. I wish I had been able to generate more levels but unfortunately I spent much too much time making it look nice and not as much on the level design. I really would have liked to have had more of a puzzle-type game play since the current gameplay is more trial-error, but unfortunately time just didn't permit it. I really wanted black holes, but maybe another time.
Great game! Nice to see a linux game here! Fun to play, last level took a while before I found out that I can zoom out with Q and then it was possible to complete.
reminds me too much of gravity wars but I had fun playing until the last level. Great use of the theme, it was connectED worlds and not connectING worlds, and your game is the first one that took it the right way. very good entry.
First time using Unity AND first game jam?... No way. I'm seriously impressed. I like that the puzzle aspects of gameplay (e.g. limiting the number of shots you can take) are gone-- the frustration of restarting a level over and over isn't worth it. Sometimes it's fun to just shoot missiles all over the place. Anyway, the gameplay is a blast (ha ha ha) and the gravity system you've made is really nice. No bugs as far as I could tell. I couldn't get past the 6th level or so (the one that's in the thumbnail). Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for submitting!!
I love the procedural planets, and the gameplay is solid. Very impressive that you completed all the major aspects to the game (usually people cut sound/music and tutorials to make up time), especially for your first individual LD! I got stuck at the level with the 3 planets blocking the galaxy, and another red/orange planet sweeping across the screen. Great job!
The music was made with thay Python program that does music automatically, wasn't it? :D
I liked the game overall. It seems that a missile travels out of screen its not destroyed at all, and if you keep firing like crazy the game starts to crawl, probably because there are dozens of missiles out of screen doing nothing that should had been removed from the game :P
Very cool game. It's quite fun to play. I think the trial-and-error form it has now might be more fun to play than a puzzle-type gameplay might have been. Great entry.
