Ludum Dare #38compo
SmallWorlds
My second Ludum Dare!
SmallWorlds tests your mouse dexterity skills. Squash planets to get further in space and more points!
Use your mouse to control the astronaut. Asteroids and satellites give you more points :)
I recommend downloading the Windows version. The web version has low fps sometimes.
Used tools:
- Unity3D 5.6
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
- Spriter

Wow this is hard! Even frustratingly so. But it was satisfying to do well, so you nailed that, and I had fun. 214k is my highest score.

Nice little game! I was really struggling at first to get more than one or two jumps, but then after some lucky streak managed to get to about 2500 points. I'm not a big fan of this game type but this one has really nice atmosphere particularly due to nice "doodle" graphics. Keep it up!

Pretty nice, I think it would be cool with keyboard controls. The music is pretty nice. Solid entry!

It's a hard game but I liked the challenge. I'm not sure if I'm just bad at it, but sometimes the planets generate at a distance that it's impossible to cover in a jump. My suggestion would be to make a progression from simple jumps to harder ones later in the level.

Easy to learn and fun to play. Great music. Cute and sweet graphics. A overall well made LD game. Well done.

Cool little high score game. The controls were ok, but a bit difficult to get in to. My highest score was 5520. The music was a little bit repetitive but that was not that bad. Overall a pretty solid entry. Good Job!

Fun, demanding and with fluid controls. Got to 620k on my best run. Asteroids should be little bit less punishing, I often died just because I hit one by accident and were not able to reach the closest planet. Music was a bit repetitive, but it's not a big issue.

Okay this is a HARD game but addictive to keep playing! The art style made me very nostalgic for old newgrounds games. It might be nice to have a difficulty level in the next iteration, as at times it can be a bit too hard, but honestly great job it's very well done.
I think it might have been improved with using keyboard controls and slowing movement down a little, or adding some filtering to inputs so you move 'towards' the mouse rather than directly to its position?
