Star Bridger by xhunterko

[raw]
made by xhunterko for LD30 (COMPO)
As a galactic engineer, your job is to build bridges between planets making sure the worlds are connected. Watch out though! Stars, gas giants, and erratic pulsars stand in your way and destroy your bridges! Can you connect the worlds by building around your obstacles?

-Solve levels any way you want building massive space bridges!

-Watch out for pulsars, stars, and gas giants!

-Don't slip to your death! Stay on planets and bridges to keep safe!

-Note: If you run out of bridges, just restart the level by dying.

Good, if somewhat literal, interpretation of the theme. Nice level progression.

Cool game - I got some pretty bad slow down while walking though (maybe ~5fps)

The bridges are a but bulky but cool concept I included it in part 5 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/W46twhRFdK8

Thanks for playing folk!
@01010111 Yeah, nothing much I can do there sadly. But I figured it's okay since it's not an action based type game.

Nice idea. I would like to see some penalty for making the bridges too large, or some other restriction. As it is, the game is very easy. I like the graphics- simple but crisp.

Cool game, though I got some strange fps drops...

Quite a nice mechanic, however the slow downs were very unfortunate.

I like the idea, although having to walk on the bridges seems unnecessary. You need to recycle those stars though, they're slowing you down!

This game was slightly laggy, but not too bad. It has a good concept and was fun to play! Good luck :)

Imagining building giant bridges through space is pretty funny. The game is overall pretty easy, would have liked some more challenge.
For some strange reason, walking caused massive frame drops.
And drawing bridges at invalid locations causes no bridge to appear, but the counter goes down. I even got it into the negatives.
