PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
**UPDATE: Yesterday I was in the pub and I met my bro Jesus, and he suggested that I make some changes to the description in the game. Apparently writing it like it currently is, is offensive to some rare human individuals.
**If you are religious, please skip the next paragraph and proceed to the last one instead!**
Atheist Version:
It's 2016 and the rapture has arrived. People are dancing and you'll have none of it! Get your vacuum cleaner out there and suck up those theist bastards!
Theist Version:
You have been teleported back in time during the meteor showers that made the dinosaurs extinct! You need to teleport all the other people back in time where it is safe, and become the hero everyone deserves!

Somehow I have the feeling this music is not completely original. But what the hell: at least I got to vacuum some dudes while meteors fell around me.
Waahaahaa - awesome! really enjoyed sucking up those theist bastards! nice one
Is that music iron maiden?
Nice idea, it's pretty hard though, I never lasted too long.
The feeling is good, meteors are really great. Maybe it lack some mechanics to be funnier to play.
The slow controls makes it difficult to dodge everything, and the meteors are absolutely relentless. I highly suggest implementing tighter, quicker controls to make dodging easier, and tone down the meteor rate to make the game feel more fair. Additionally, add some indicator of the path the meteor is going to fall to make accidental deaths less likely.
It felt as though I had a split second moment to decide how to avoid meteors form that spawned from the top. If I waited any longer, I was going to die if I was in the meteor's path.
I really had fun, huhu! Good art and music! Maybe a jump button would have been pleasant :)

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
I liked the graphics and particularly enjoyed the soundtrack. There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of replayability at present, but it still kept me going for several games regardless and has a lot of potential for expansion. The rate of meteors could possibly be turned down a little bit and it gets a bit tricky to find any targets once the meteors hit most of them before you get there, but on the whole a solid game :)
