Take control of the mighty Glue-Bot to temporarily stick planets back together long enough to safely evacuate. Look out for spewing lava and cracks and spray accordingly to stall the threat of an inevitable explosion.

Changelog (4/4/22 8:58pm)

- Fixed player being able to ADS during end level scene
- Fixed "death" state (falling to the planet core should have triggered to end the level)

NOTE: Getting stuck in the depths of the planet is *very normal* and of course *not intended*! Sorry for the trouble, we could not fix it in time for the deadline

It was good, but the player got stucked and I couldn´t move it.

Had fun blasting my glue all over the place until I fell into hell

Love the idea! Gravity was a bit off, and I kept falling into the planet as things started to fly apart so I didn't feel like I was properly finishing the level though :(

Would love to see this cleaned up for an Extra entry.

Yup! Fell in a couple times to be sure. The graphics are nice and I thought the sound worked well

Link worked for me. Nice game idea.

Unfortunately I fell into the planet very soon and got trapped there.

Pretty nice game, loved the base mechanic of cracking planets.

Definitely an interesting way to take the theme, I really liked the concept. The art was great and the background music really fit. I was a bit confused at the end though and wasn't sure if I had won or not or how well I did though.

I really wasn't a fan of the face guard being in the way when zoomed in to shoot and I ended up taking advantage of a bug that if you stopped holding right click while still holding the left click that you would continue shooting. Also when zoomed in, the aiming up/down felt like it wasn't doing anything, looking at it again the glue streams look like they are changing but I think it would have been better if the guns actually moved or the whole head tilted.

Also, there was a bug that the mouse stayed locked when you return to the main menu after completing a level so I had to reload the page each time.

I got stuck soon inside the earth and couldn't get out. But it's a good game and a nice idea! Good job!

Interesting idea. I liked how the glue attached but I kept falling in.

What an awesomely weird take on the theme. Gluing together a breaking apart planet--love it. Falling in almost feels intended. Hazards of the job.

I definitely liked the cabin level more than the city level, easier to see what I was doing. I found myself wish a bit for third person perspective to see what I was doing/needed to do better--but I know third person cameras are a huge pain so I totally understand why you went this direction. In any case, the graphics and sound were solid!

Anyway, high points for innovation and I definitely had fun spraying glue everywhere! Awesome work!

Great idea for the theme.
Camera is a bit wonky in both modes (Third and First Person).
Very well polished bug-wise.

Overall really good. Exploring this further could yield a good game.

I really like the idea.
However, I occasionally got stuck in the column, but it is still fun!
Why are there two perspectives? I have only used the zoom.

Reaaaally fun game! Actually quite relaxing: you don't feel pressured, just have to do your best.
The jump is a bit broken sometimes but still ok. Camera movement is quite disturbing at the beginning and it makes it difficult to move at first, but I just stay zoomed in and I managed my way through :)

Great idea! I've really enjoyed playing the game, I like the potato shaped planets. I've only had some problems while aiming downwards from a "hill" (needed to reposition myself differently). The aiming is a bit tiresome (would be maybe better to have 2 camera modes to choose from). But overall I really enjoyed it!

I seriously enjoyed playing the game. It is a really great concept and a rather interesting twist on the topic, though I had some problems later in the game, when the controls didn't allow me to really point at some parts of the rift to glue it. But again, a really enjoyable game!

Great concept, I got stuck a few times, and it was a bit annoyingly hard to aim the glue on slopes, but still was fun, great job!
