I've now got a Windows executable up for download! Crisis averted.
I think I did more damage to earth than anything else to start with. Very nice graphics, fun little Asteroids-like. Those asteroids can be extremely hard to see on occasion. Also probably worth it to note that its mouse aim and shoot.
Neat! My only gripe is that I couldn't use WASD but I had to use the mouse!
Well done
Playing with a laptop touchpad was practically impossible, but I get the idea of the game. Would be more fun if I had a mouse. Good Job.
Amazing game! I absolutely loved it! I like that you were able to develop such a simple concept so well! This was fantastic to play :D
I love the theme. Disappointed I couldn't save all those billions of people. :)
Love the game! Took me a bit (second playthrough) to realize that you used the mouse to shoot. The effects were very juicy (CAMERASHAKE), especially the end. A very good entry overall.
The difficulty increases exponentially lol. Fun little game. Good work. Runs well on Linux.
Wow... that game is hard... Masses of asteroids o.O
Liked the gravity-ish effect as they speed up when they are close (doesn't make it any easier, though) - also, it's great that you can actually damage the planet with your own gun :P
The difficulty ramps up a bit too quick, but it is a great little game. It was interesting to take each shot carefully, and later just spray everything and buy time.
Nice use of the theme. Also pretty neat graphics. Well done. :)
Nice mecanics, control are a little bit hard and the asteroid to dark sadly, it is a bit annoying but i guess it is part of the difficulty maybe.
Wow, the line at the end make you feel really guilty for losing...
friggin HARD! but very polished. Good to see more Lovers in the Ludum Dare.
Very nice game! I like the gravity well and how you can shoot the planet yourself accidentally.
Some contrast on the asteroids and the background would have been nice, but very nice!
I had no mouse to play. But I'll retry later. Seems like a good game !
I wish I could play this, but I'm a Mac user. We both went for the Only One Planet theme.
OK, thanks for the message. I'll look into Love2D and check out your game and rate it. I'm always up for learning about a new game software. Please return the favor!
The one ship idea is cool! Nice done. I'm not better than you ;).
Nice. I found the controls very difficult, but the gravity effects and the quote at the end were very satisfying. Also, a very pretty game. Where did all those rocks come from!?
Wow, this got difficult very quickly! It was manageable until there were literally 30 asteroids on screen simultaneously. Still pretty fun, the arrow keys were both intuitive and extremely unintuitive depending on which side of the planet you were on. I like that you can shoot the planet yourself, definitely one of the first things I tried :)

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.
I don't have love installed, sorry. I think you should rename the download link?
