Harvest stars in 3D space.

PS OH MAN I just realized that this makes no sense in terms of the theme. The original idea was that you feed stars to two lonely button-shaped planets (two buttons and growing!) so that they gain enough mass to attract each other. I ran out of time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PPS (12.14 22:53) Added Windows, OSX, and Linux ports!

Super slow on my device, to the point I can't play at all.
Motorola motog2014.

ohhhh crashes on nexus7 lollipop :(

can you do a windows or desktop version ?

liquidmedia14 Dec 2015, 22:35

just barely runs maybe too much for mobile? running too many physics checks? I did not check the source code.

For some reason I wasn't able to properly control the character? Running the Windows version.

Runs on Windows. I collected 10 stars as requested, but haven't seen any result. Original way to move

It's actually 20 but I realize that the font makes it look like 10!! I'll definitely pick a different font when I get home from work today, and to everyone who played it, thank you so much!!!
SSJMetroid, could you describe what was going on with the controls in a bit more detail? I'm @staircased on Twitter if that's easier :)

this would be awesome with cardboard, if you wouldn't need input...

teethauthor16 Dec 2015, 06:22

I actually started building it for the cardboard originally, but dropped cardboard because running a little slow, if you want to try the cardboard version it's here (just ignore the UI): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzMGeZz9TONhcmNEc0oxcmFlbEE/view?usp=sharing

Playing on windows, not sure if i'm doing something wrong, but i only seem to be able to rotate my view, I can't seem to look around, even holding control like it says...

Seems like an interesting game, though, too bad you couldn't finish it!

Played the android version. Enjoyed the use of the gyroscope to navigate in 3D. Yeah, didn't really use the themes though.

Use "Screen.showCursor = false" in the future. Also, some stars are bugged. Other than that, the game is too simple, even for a compo entry and the "Hold Alt to look" thing feels like it's there just so you can have a second button, because there is no reason not to look when you move the mouse. Good luck on the next LD, I'm sure you learned a lot from this one :)
