Recently, more and more planets seem to have been colliding together - and what happens when two planets collide? Thats right, coins appear! Lots of shiny gold coins! Larry wants to seize this opportunity by collecting as many coins as possible - try to help him out!
Don't forget to use your trusty jetpack to fly between planets.

We're quite pleased with how this game turned out, but like everyone we wish we could have added more. If we had more time, or managed to get things done a bit quicker, we would have looked to do the following:
- Add a minimap
- Utilise PhysX (for gravity on planets and such)
- Recode the 'hop' mechanic
- Add more powerups
- Add drills/explosives for digging through planets
- Create a much larger level size
- Add automatic camera zoom
What a weekend! We had a blast creating this for LD30 and hope you enjoy playing it too!
