Loved the upgrades!
The "next wave in ten" however seems really unimportant, but whatever: nice graphics!
Hey cool space game. Need a little bit of polish on the controller but overall, nice game with cute graphic !
Fun game, I didn't really move from earth the whole time. Loved the flame thrower
Before I started up the game, I thought that control scheme was going to be awful. After playing it...neat. Took a little getting used to, but I like it. Got that flamethrower/plasma gun upgrade just in time!
Maybe need a mechanic to encourage moving away from the Earth sometimes? Seemed like the controls went weird and seemed to stick, sending me off in one direction and hard to get back?
Great game! cool glowy coloring effect, and simple but polished gameplay. My score: 69600.
I friggin loved the flamethrower lol.
Mac version doesn't seem to run. I open the jar, and the frame of the game flashes up a couple times (pure white) and then nothing.
Nice take on the theme! The game is fun and looks really nice. However, there needs to be an incentive or something to move away from the Earth otherwise I see no point to move away from it.
Good SF atmosphere. But my score is quite low ... because of mac version?
Non traditional controls are a little hard to get used too. I thought the earth healthbar was part of the level. Should have had that off to side/hud somewhere else
It was fun and good!
keep it up!
This damn lightning! I was doing so well with the flamethrower...
Great little game. Bit hard for me. Died a lot. Fun though. Will play again. Nice one. Thanks for this.
Nice space shooter :) Everything was OK. I couldn't advance many floats, but I will definetely come back to this.
Pretty solid shooter, with decent power-ups. I didn't see any good reason to move away from the Earth though (probably need drops of some kind?)
This game is really addicting! I like it loads. I featured this game in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvnhwc_j5Mo

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Nice take on the genre.
Cool use of the theme, quite an addicting game.
