This is our first game. It's really more of a short interactive sequence than a game, but hopefully you enjoy it. It's running on our own custom engine that our programmer has been sweating over to complete on the fly. It's buggy, very short, the graphics got stretched and the code is a mess, but were very proud of our first creation :D

The graphics are a little blurry, but I liked the style. Nice short game. :)
Bit blurry, not sure if it froze or the game ended when I was looking at Earth being shot.
Nice first creation :-) Very short, and more of a interactive short story, but you still managed to get some mood in there. :-)
Thank you for the comments :) The game does in fact end at the shot of the earth. I had the idea of that being a final look back and leaving the fate of earth for the player to decide, however it seemed better in my head and perhaps we should have put in an actual end screen.
Also were not entirely sure why the graphics went blurry, we assume its because they were stretched across the screen. Hopefully in the future we will learn how to properly apply the graphics without ruining them. We'll also be adding sound and music into our next game and may come back to this one to sort of remake it.
If you get the missing MSVCR110.dll you may have to install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679#
Sorry about that.
The graphics are nice and the story is atmospheric. It's more like a cutscene than a game, but it's nice work for the Jam!
I didn't really like the blurry (stretched?) graphics but I was interested the entire time. Really good work!
It asked me for msvcr120.dll. I downloaded it and put it in the game folder, then gave me another error.

Installing vcredist_x86.exe from the above link should fix the msvcr120.dll error.
Let me know whether it works or not. :D
It lacks of gameplay.. At least an opportunity to interact with other people somehow. I liked how the surroundings were drawed, but the main character seemed disharmonic (stretched vertically?)
I wasn't sure if the game ended when I reached the 2nd level of the bridge...

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.
