So this is my first entry into LD, didn't have a lot of time to due this, but I think its a good effort for a single days worth of work. Have fun!

Edit: Repacked it, got it down to 200MB and set the pass to "LD2014". Try that download if the other 2 don't work.

Edit edit: Some nice person (Joe Dolan) made a title track for the game! Thanks Joe! https://soundcloud.com/joedolan-3/meet-the-moon-title Also I added a link with the music, however, do not consider this the project sumbitted for review, because I think the music differs it too much from the original.

Also for some reason UE4 triggers chrome, sorry, cant fix that, try IE or Firefox.

Goal: Manipulate gravity and get to the moon
Engine: UE4
Coding/Art: Me, credit given to NASA for some of the planet textures and opengameart for a sound effect.
Controls: WASD moves, mouse looks, space jumps, press M1 to turn off gravity.

The game may require some libraries to run, so try the UE4 installer in the root of the game zip. The exe itself is in the \WindowsNoEditor\MeetTheMoon\Binaries\Win folder.

If the game runs poorly, use 1 2 and 3 to toggle between high, medium, and low settings.

That moon is scary.

I think your download is too big. I've heard that there are a bunch of default textures and objects in UE4 that you should delete before you compile your game. Try that and reupload so people will be willing to download it. Will rate after the (current) 212MB download finishes.

Chrome marks the file as malicious and blocks it.

K thanks, repackaging atm.
K55author26 Aug 2014, 01:06
Ok repackaged and saved...2 MB, turns out the base engine files use over 50MB, well, lesson learned, next time I'll compress more while devving.

Its okay just the controls are so hard that you cant really play it.

Nice concept! Really liked the gameplay mechanic.

Quite a neat little start to a game. So many times of jumping and just missing another planet! I really liked barely catching the lower side of a planet and crawling, well spinning, my way back up around and jumping again. Good times.

Very slow on my computer and kind of confusing. Great graphics though, that is undeniable.

For chrome users, click dismiss on the malware message, hit ctrl-j then click restore

Did you upload the smaller version? Both links are still over 200MB and marked as malicious.

Chrome marks the download as malicious and won't let me download the file.

Hey, Chrome blocks this! Try zipping it up with a password, then zipping the zip and password file. Not sure if it works with UE4, but it seemed to work with GameMaker.

Very cool concept. Would love to see more of it!

Good game, I laughed at the sign at the end. Graphics were a bit intense, even on lowest mode but then again UE4 is pretty next-gen. Love it and hope more of it comes

Ok, repackaged it again, saved a few more MB, also hopefully the password protected download should stop chrome from throwing a fit. Pass is "LD2014"

Very pretty, though the lack of gravity around the worlds really saddened me (I'd love to be able to orbit around the planets before shooting myself around).
Other than that, very nice looking game, and surprisingly fun!

Looked nice, and the gravity mechanic was pretty fun to play around with. Some music would have added a lot.

If I was a dog, I'd howl! LOL Very cool first entry. Good luck :)

Some nice person made a music piece for the game! Please don't consider it for the review though, I think that's against the rules. Anyway, its nice, thanks again Joe!

I enjoyed, gravity goes as he pleases

Left-right controls are a bit finicky, but I like the concept.
