ONE _RUDE_ PLANET by nihilocrat

[raw]
made by nihilocrat for LD32 (COMPO)
You're one _RUDE_ planet! Push all the other planets in the sun and drink their sweet sweet tears (except there are no tears, because they're DEAD, and planets don't have tear ducts anyways!)

CONTROLS:

ARROW KEYS or LEFT STICK to move your planet!

There would be greate add some boundaries. I just pushed too much from the sun and get lost

Nice idea, but planets will slingshot too easily out of the system never to come back.

Wonderful! Some sound effects and a few more levels and it'd be a great game on any platform.

Hey, super cool!

It's pretty challenging -- easy to get in a really eccentric orbit. I had one of the target planets orbiting *me* for a bit, which was very cool.

I'd love it if there was a visualization of gravity -- color, or field lines, or else a cloud of tiny meteoroids to act like iron filings.

Love it, love the idea! It's hard! It's so nice to play with gravity like that. Small bug: when you start with two planets, take one down and then you crash on the sun: the game does not end. Maybe the game need more polish. Anyway, good game !

This game is amazingly difficult - but in a good way! I hate how they'll just fly out if you're not too careful, but other than that it's a great game. WTG OP!

Fun nice physicsy game ^_^ I liked the smooth controls. It kind of feels like you're wrestlign with gravity ^_^

The concept is interesting and fun, but the gravity wells of the stars and planets are too extreme, easily pushing the plantes out of orbit for good.
Add some sound effects and tweak the gameplay a bit and the game could be awesome!

I like the concept but it is easy to get lost if you fly too far away. Also, when a planet is on an escape trajectory, the game should tell you when it gets too far to reasonably recover it and trigger the loss condition.

It is a bit too hard, the planets are easily pushed out of solar system. Although not a totally new idea, I really liked the implementation :)

The difficult to control physics of the planet and indirect way of moving the other planets are great. I feel like I would have played many more levels. A more positive story like building a star might be more appealing... To me at least...
