In this game you play as a planet and you battle other planets.

There are five planets total, it's best if you fight them from left to right.

HOW TO PLAY (Also explained inside)
You move with the arrow keys or WASD, you can slow down by pressing SHIFT. When near a planet press Y to battle.

During battles press A to bring up the actions menu, and press the number keys to perform the corresponding action.

This should work on Windows, OS/X, and Linux as long as you have Java 7 or higher installed.

Cool idea. It took me a while to figure out you have to hit enter at the start of each battle hah. I was mostly able to kill the planets by just using attack though. Nice job.

There was perhaps a bit too long of a tutorial for such a short game, but it was overall a lot of fun and a lot of great content. I found the boss battle a tiny-bit anticlimatic, but I think I lucked into that win. Great work!

Unique Concept was SUPER EFFECTIVE. First instance I've seen of anyone connected planets FOR BATTLE! I tried to emply some RNG negatives in my game, but nothing as clever as yours :)

Well done! I like it. :)) One thing tho, tha background moves in the wrong direction on the Y-axis

I enjoyed the ending thing. The actual game play really is pretty thin. Impressive music!

The level select screen was more fun than the combat. I was better off just hitting Attack every round.

LMAO!!! [SPOILER - Gunpoint and this game]

It reminded me of Gunpoint when I punched the first guy multiple times XD this game is hilariously funny from the names of the planets to the ending!

I liked the idea of battling planets and for the first time I didn't HATE the turn based combat of the old JRPGs. That was very nice there, even though I didn't understand the RNG parts.

Neat idea. Its funny to think of a planet going around fighting. I would like to see some visual representation of what is happening when you fight, especially the nukes.
