Starting as a small planet you gain more and more gravity and mass by shooting for other planets. Therefore you have to charge your beams by pressing either the left or right arrow on your keyboard or use your mouse. But be careful, if the pink planets get in your range they may hammer down on you and cost you some life/gravity.
Such a cool concept! It's relentless and unforgiving in the beginning but after you've gained enough mass it's a little easy (since you charge faster and with more vectors) to just spray and pray :P
The shooting mechanic is pretty cool-- it's an interesting take on aiming, and graphics look crunchy!
Gameplay wise, things got out of hand when I gained more mass though-- I just constantly pressed the shoot button and shot in all directions at once. I instantly nuked everything around me and grew huge and invincible quickly!
The idea behind the gameplay and game seems fun. Though I have some problems with playing, so rating would be unfair.
Unfortunately the game crashes for me every time I hit a pink planet with projectile. It seems to shatter, then everything but the background and some pink debris disappear from screen, and the game freezes up. I use Firefox 42.0 for Ubuntu, in case you want to look into it.
It's a cool idea, but perhaps a little too easy to win seeing as it is always the best strategy to grow as fast as possible and just absorb the attacks. But it's original and interesting.
Ow, greate idea, my circle get bigger in the screen! I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629
It is very difficult to see the shooting direction though... but I guess its part of gameplay. Would have loved some music/sfx with it though.
