PlanetoLution v1.0.3
( Planetolution is a crappy name. I know. )
Portmortem here:
http://www.piritubano.com/2014/05/04/planetolution-a-postmortem/
But heeeey, here is my LD entry. You manage a planet, avoiding him to explode with lava making him cold. But you have to me carefull, because you can freeze the planet as well.
The objective is survive as long as possible, don't lose all the planets.
Tools used:
- Unity 3D
- as3sfxr
- Firework for GUI
Updates
- v1.0.2: Music added (my own), color correction of the planet
- v1.0.1: Sfx added

This would be really cool on a touch device. :D
I found it impossible to keep two places alive with a mouse. :)
Yeah, I for the life of me could not maintain more than one planet for very long. Which was fine, as one planet was enough to keep the humans living.
Cool idea, but I also think it's impossible to keep two planets with a mouse >_<
Yeah, not really very playable with a mouse! But the idea seems like it would be fun on a phone or tablet.
As Armanky said, you can survive forever by just focusing one planet... Something's missing for the mechanism to be complete. Still, with some more work it could become a nice mobile game.
had trouble with the mouse on laptop track pad, but love the idea. Elegant design, well executed. Good job!
Seems like this has some nice potential. Would love to see pixel civilizations and ships around the planets that migrate between worlds. Really liked playing it tho, thanks for making.
the graphics are BEAUTIFUL! Feels kinda empty without music (I know its space and all, but still...) but I still liked it very much =]
Good effects and design, although it does seem like you can survive by focusing on one planet. :)
I've played until 60 milleniums, didn't find more to do. I liked the minimalistic style and slick presentation. A classy entry.
Nice concept, unfortunately I couldn't handle to keep 2 planets more then few seconds on computer mouse. Anyway I had a fun.
Hard but fun game! I included your game in part 6 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series! http://youtu.be/K5ATRciKj24
Good and fun game!
Simple and direct (your criticize about god was very interesting :] )
When the new world show up, I freaking out, it is To Hard!
While the gameplay is basic and balance is almost nonexistent in this game, I still like the idea. Could be a fun game with expanded mechanics and some balancing.
Like others said, it was impossible to manage multiple planets even for a short while. An idea for improving this: Have planets lava grow at different rates, and change that over time (maybe only in short bursts), so that people have to pay attention to different planets at different times.
I liked the intro a lot!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
Cool idea, probably much easier with a touch screen than with a computer mouse!
I should note that you can easily survive just by focusing on one planet. At least as far as I could gather.
