Ah crap, that sucks. I only have a PC here, so the Mac and Linux versions were just a case of build and hope for the best.
The Linux version works, but:
* The score is a bit hard to read
* I can't figure out a reason why I shouldn't just constantly shoot
* Is there any sort of ending?
* Sounds got annoying after a bit, but until then, they were pretty good
* Not very clear how it relates to the theme
Otherwise, it was a pretty fun game

I'll second that the score is a bit difficult to read. Loved the voxels otherwise. Also not sure how it connects to the theme, but it's a fun game to play nonetheless :)
Fun game. Animations are good and the explosions are great. GJ.
A fun little game - I also enjoyed the voxel aesthetic. However there didn't seem to be a way to exit the game (from fullscreen mode), so I had to end the game from the task manager while the mouse was locked to the game.
Thanks for the comments!
I did have something in mind about battling a world-sized superconnected alien entity, which constantly reformed into different enemies, but I didn't have time to get everything I wanted into the game.
I also had a plan for 'assembler' enemies, which would take the debris and build mini-bosses. They'd always appear along with huge waves of enemies, so you'd be able to refrain from firing and 'stealth' your way through those sections, possibly with a mechanic where you could manoeuvre faster if you weren't shooting. Three days is too short a time to get ambitious though, and I'm glad I kept things simple.
It's been a really fun project to work on, so I'll probably develop it further (I'm dying to add a mouse-controlled drone) and keep uploading builds to itch.io (http://adfp.itch.io/superconnected-world)
@darkshadow Thanks, that hadn't even occured to me (I always play LD games in windowed mode, if I can). I'll add that to the build on itch.io ASAP.
Game caused my PC to blue-screen when I tried to quit. Loved playing it whilst it worked.
@Vytheros Wow, thanks for letting me know. Unity's always been pretty reliable for me, but I obviously need to make a 'quit' button a priority. Cheers.
REALLY love the self-assembling enemies and the enemy patterns are fun. Would love to see more of this!
FINALLY AN ENTRY THAT PROVIDES A LINUX EXECUTABLE! It's a fun game and the graphics are really cool, but it gets boring after a while. Would require some variety.
Graphics and effects are cool, and actually feel thought out, rather than slapped on. Gameplay is a bit boring as the enemy patterns don't really get all that challenging even when the game goes on. Music would've suited this kind of game very well too.
Very interesting, but score is wayyy too hard to see, try using other kind of innovative numbers :D

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.
Mac version doesn't run for me :(
