Mighty Gravity
The earth is at despair as a new wave of aliens are ready to attack!.
Your only weapon remaining to defeat them is gravity!
To rotate the earth press keys (LEFT/RIGHT) or click in either side of the screen.
Kill the aliens by putting of the same color together.
Press the link below to play online (better performance with Chrome/Chromium). Enjoy!
Notes:
-Made with Libgdx
-Still buggy but fully playable.
-The game is over when the number of enemies glued to Earth exceed 100. No hint appears on the screen.
-The graphical effect of the earth rotating is missing.

Lots of fun. Love the gameplay mechanic. At first I thought that the bright red ones were going to explode and take a bunch out, maybe that's an idea for a new type of alien.

Fun game, congrats :)

Interesting concept, sort of like a rotating game of Tetris. It was hard to form a strategy for organizing the sticky aliens because too many landed at once so it usually seemed like a game of random chance. With some more tweaking, I could see this becoming a very addictive game.

Totally unique ! Never played a game with this mechanic ...
Constructive criticism ? I don't know ... It felt kind of clunky. (I seem to be saying that a lot). But it's true - A lot of games loose out and feel unprofessional because they don't SNAP. You know, if there was like a exponential curve of approach, so as the balls came closer they almost got sucked in and very suddenly struck ... And there was some kind of visceral effect - Sound would be great. Something satisfying. And that you wouldn't mind hearing a hundred times ... Then you would have a game (at least a casual game) on your hands ...
Same with the earth rotation - It needs to move in a cool way. Something that would make it into a hackers movie. There is a term for this - for the kind of movement that ... goes on a curve ... but I can't think of it. So when you move the planet it doesn't just respond to the arc of rotation - instead it uses that arc to ramp up the movement (I think that's the word - RAMP) to a high speed and then ramp back down ... THAT will look cool !

Earth should rotate and enemies come more slower, also it is not really a weapon, but overall game is very cool and innovative, like it!

I liked the graphics, controls felt smooth. I think it could get better with sound, I didn't get how it fits on the theme but nice little game, I enjoyed myself playing it :)

Quite funny! But it is hard, or I suck at playing it :D Nice gameplay, I lost the game as soon as a new color appeared. By rotating permanently, you can try by luck and sometimes it even works!
Great game!
Great game!

Interesting concept! The gradual acceleration when turning did make the controls feel a bit unresponsive. But I enjoyed the game.

This is actually a really interesting take on a match three :) I enjoyed it a bunch but it went way too fast for me to keep up and perhaps adding more mechanics would make for some interesting play. But overall I thought it was pretty cool :)!

Innovative game. At first I thought it wasn't working because of the planet image not rotating.



But I liked the originality of the gameplay mechanics, and above all it works flawlessly !
Somehow I have the feeling this game is complete, even if there is a lot of real-time feedback missing.
I don't get how this ended up in "least ratings" category. You did a great job.
