"You play a fish-o-naut enslaved by the kitty overlords and your mission is to find and capture the cookie planet!
You find there is a strange series of planets which seem to interact with each other*..
Directed by Michael Bay"

Aah, its that time again.
Totally overestimated what I could get done, to my defense - I had my PC fail on me and some other stupid issues which cost me some hours.

Anyways! I didnt really have any inspiration.. so I just went with the literal meaning, connected worlds.. via portals.. (ahem)

Controls: WASD or Arrow Keys. Space to shoot once you've picked up the jar of bubbles

I planned to make this relationship more clear, but I ran out of time. Oh well, next time maybe

The game is based on a wrapper for SFML/Box2D I wrote
http://github.com/imermcmaps/SFMLEngine

Linux build is untested, should work though.

*planned.
Planty planet <- Ice planet <- lava planet -> cookie planet
water <- melts ice <- lava -> bakes cookies

Pretty good, but could do with some sounds as there is nothing. Pretty fun though.

Your game seemed funny, but it is lagging a lot, I couldn't walk without stopping every half-second. I also got these messages in the console : "Failed to create texture, its internal size is too high (5000x2000, maximum is 4096x4096)".

@Quetzakol: Mh, It should never even try to create a texture that size, highest res texture should be the light buffer which is 1024x576

Pretty cool, but the avatar moves a little slow (which made that one world a pain since it's really long.

Cool, the game ran pretty good on my PC! The shooting was a bit akward, because if you ran forward while shooting, you die... The graphics are pretty good and moody. Good job

Hah - I like the explosions and my guy's head.

Some of the pixelart is pretty good and the fishbowl as helmet is funny whehehe. Nice one

I cracked up the first time I saw the death animation.
Also the fishbowl as a head was cool.

Movement is a bit slow and I sometimes killed myself unexpectedly.

A pity you couldn't finish, would have liked to bake myself some space cookies.
