The mysterious void approaches our galaxy, devouring everything on its way. No one can fight it, so the only way to survive - escape. Achieve the salvation by setting up warp tunnels between planets to reach wormhole.
Click on planets to select and connect them with warp tunnels.

That is a really cool game there. I liked the strategy element and I liked how the bridges worked along with the element of danger.
That said, it was really cool to see those planets engulfed by that wave and they change texture to match.
The sounds were cool, the music could use a little more polish but all in all, it was quite a lovely game with cool mechanics XD. Oh, and you totally should do that post mortem.
It was a nice game. The one thing that was slightly confusing at first was that connection/planet was not lost until noise-wave had reached the planet's center. I would guess that as soon as touching is what most would expect.
That apart. I got some way and then I got stuck. Nice game though.
Wow, really good! I liked the pixilated art and the sound effects worked well - spacey and didn't get repetitive despite being heard often. I also like the Motivational Poster style bits at the bottom of each level. Would work well on a touch screen... Totally expand it for android or something! There are tones of other mechanics that could be added.
Loved it! Great gameplay and it fit with the theme (but remember planet != world). Audio was fine. Only wish there was more levels. And that's probably really good for a LD48 game!
Ooof. The last level took a bit of thinkin' till I realised the obvious :p Nice little game & some good mechanics & graphics. Could easily see some more gimmicks to the game too. Good job!
Pretty fun game and I made it all the way through after a few attempts at level 7. What I didn't really understand is why certain planets could transfer to the wormhole and others couldn't. It would also have been helpful to have the multipliers constantly visible. Having them on hover didn't allow for time to react in some situations based on the multipliers. Otherwise, it was a great game.
Nice, kind of reminds me of Eufloria a little. Very unique though. Definitely would like to see this expanded on more, a full game could be interesting.
I really like this game. Although I beat level 5 but it didn't give me the victory/defeat window, it was just stuck. Very cool take on the theme and well done.
Great game, but too short (I wanted to play more!). Panic attack at the start of each level. Really enjoyed this, hope you develop this further with lots more levels. Perhaps you can always show the transfer rate at all times (not just on hover), and also which transfers are currently active (an arrow on the line). Well Done =]
Nice one. I had also problems figuring out what to do in level 7. In Firefox the levels didn't load sometimes, but this can be fixed by reloading. The mechanics are smooth and the game challenging. The graphics are really great. Nice for your first LD entry.
Nice! So simple idea and so entertaining. But little buggy. I wasn't able to finish this game, after 5th level it became bugged somehow, I couln't press any button, select level.. nothing. Even refresh of page didn't help.
had some troubles clicking the level numbers and the planets. still i would love to have more levels for this game! graphics are simple but the gameplay is awesome! good job!
Like it ! The player could be able to restart the level when needed. I don't stop trying to drag/drop the link between the planets, instead of clicking on one planet and then on a second one to create the transfer. Maybe a clue to improve the ergonomic. I go back in finish the last level
ajopart, there are keyboard shortcuts working (they are listed on this page, however not displayed in game, my bad). I will definitely add drag/drop support, thank you for suggestion.
CatOnMars, what do you mean? there is no double click in this game at all. And yeah, I tried making 'perfect' really hard to achieve.
Really fun game. I liked the void effect taking over the planet and the transfer mechanics. Each level introduced a new element and the learning curve was just right. Disconnecting planets was a bit of a pain though, maybe make it so that you can break connections by swiping across the line like you're cutting a rope.
Also maybe add an effect to show the direction of transfer and which connections are currently active seeing as only one direction of transfer is allowed at the same time.
There is a bug on retina screen, the width/height of the canvas looks too large. You have to divise it by 2 for retina screen. - yeah fucking mac user i know ! ;)
Finished the game. Pretty cool, the pace is awesome. Loved the sound of the game. At first it looked boring and the puzzles were easy, but then it became really interesting.
It definitely needs more puzzles, pretty good game overall!
Sorry, I have a big screen macbook but I could only see the top-left corner of your game and couldn't even find any kind of button to click to start :(
The idea of saving people through a portal is great. Mechanic is also great. However the game lacks other stuff like atmosphere, music and graphics. It's also quite short. Has potential, you just have to work on it further. I liked that planets are randomly colored.
Very cool idea and a neat puzzle. I actually liked the graphics, as they were consistent throughout. The sfx also added a dimension of immediacy to the mood. Overall a very solid entry.
FanTASTIC game, great use of theme, very servicable graphics, helpful sound, really solid gameplay. Had a lot of fun with this, would recommend to a friend. =) Superb work for 48 hours!
This is a great fun entry! I love the effects and the way you have to route people around depending on the different constraints is a great idea. I've read a lot of Peter F Hamilton (void trilogy, for example) so this setting has a huge resonance with me! Thanks for sharing, hope the galaxy makes it...
5 starts! When the white noise crept upon each planet I felt engaged. At the last two levels, I felt a sense of sacrifice. If you continue to develop this, I'd be curious what other choices I could consider to quickly plan an escape. And have you considered clarifying the victory and defeat left and right arrow buttons? They confused me.
I really liked it. The later levels that require quick clicking were kinda frustrating on my laptop touchpad. I could see some complex puzzles being made on this idea.
I actually tried playing the game on touchpad aswell - that's really hardcore! I'm going to tune down difficulty a bit for non-perfect score, so the game will be pretty playable even on touchpad :)
This is excellent. Classic example of really good level design. I managed to save everyone after a bunch of retries! I would seriously consider porting this to the mobile platform. It would do really well I think.
Nice game! I specially liked the last stage, where going back means going forward more easily :D Needs more sound and music, but graphics are fine. Good mechanic.
After first 2 levels I thought: omg, game about clicking twice and waiting for the progress bar to fill up. But I've decided to give it time to suprise me and it was really a suprise! Nice puzzle game, I've really enjoyed it.
This was surprisingly great! The screenshots made the game appear boring, but it was definitely fun. Great job! I played it all the way through and followed you on twitter!
Hah, dig that last level! Seems a bit cruel sometimes, but I really enjoyed it. Would love to see more of this, as well as an expansion of the gameplay mechanisms. There's definitely some potential here.
I played this game and liked it a lot. I haven't seen this exact puzzle mechanism and it was great how by combining few simple rules you could create very different type of puzzles to solve.
Add 93 levels and this is pretty close to being a full solid game.
Well done!

Cute little game. The last level 7 is the one that made me think and work a bit. You sorta have to change directions because that first planet on the left has the really fast transfer rate.

Any of you beat 'all-perfect' yet? I tried to make it really hard to do :P
That said, it was really cool to see those planets engulfed by that wave and they change texture to match.

Check your LD account, it says it doesn't exist...
One of the games that actually entertain!
Nice job! Very easy to pick up and play, but very engaging at the same time.
Fun gimmick in the last level - would love to play more of this game.
Looking forward to the post-mortem!
Nothing seemed out of place, the game seemed to be very deliberate and planned out. A+
haveric, all planets have range, which is visible when you select them. Thanks for suggestion, I will probably rework that GUI
And huge thanks to all of you, guys! I just am overwhelmed with amount of warm responses! You have no idea how happy I am :)
still i would love to have more levels for this game! graphics are simple but the gameplay is awesome! good job!

mechabit, thank you for suggesting swiping. That's really interesting and convenient method.
This was a fun idea.
But incredibly hard.
Like Dark Souls hard.
Nice work.
Should be a good iPhone game.
- yeah fucking mac user i know ! ;)
I found level 7 particularly tough, but eventually scraped through.
It definitely needs more puzzles, pretty good game overall!
jimmypaulin, I'm extremely happy you enjoyed my game that much ^^
Thanks, everyone, for your support, reviews and suggestions! <3
