Universe Connector by SK16 Games

[raw]
made by SK16 Games for LD30 (COMPO)
A game about connecting all the planets and taking over the universe!


----------IMPORTANT----------
Of some reason the sound (music) won't work on the web version. So if you are playing the web version on GameJolt, I have added the soundtrack so you can listen to it anyway (scroll down a bit) or: You could just download the damn game!


----------About----------
So... In the beginning I had a very different idea, but because of time, you know, I had to cut a lot... About 3 hours before deadline I found out I couldn't make it in time, and changed everything, to make at least something done :P

Hope you'll like it!


----------Tools used----------
Engine: Game Maker: Studio
Graphics: Photoshop
Music: Fruity Loops (FL Studio)


----------Something----------

I loved the music loop! My game crashed with a fatal error when I got a spaceship to Naboo though.

Cool little game! It gets pretty hard if you decide to build multiple spaceships at one time :D

Nice little game, and the music rocks.

Only complaint is that you are waiting more than playing ;/

@CeriseGhost thanks, and yea building more at once makes the controls more fucked up haha ;D @RadioLemon Thanks a lot! :D I know that you are waiting too much :P My original idea was that you could upgrade stuff on each planet etc. but (of course) didn't make it in time

Nice little game. Suffers the classic problem of resource-over-time games that without some balancing factor, it's just a matter of time rather than strategy. To play, I just upgraded resources until the cost was greater than that of a spaceship. Alternatively, I could have made a cup of tea. Nice audio, but the loop was a little too short.

Seems like a good start to a strategy game.

So i started playing. I wanted to see the game to the end but i got bored of waiting for the money so i walked away and left it open for 5 mins. Then i got bored of upgrading earth so with out the ship i started exploring to find other plants but then i got lost in the purple universe.

At first I was really excited, but I was a little bit sad when I realised there wasn't as much exploration as I expected.
This could potentially be the next cookie clicker though if your work on it a bit more. :D
Keep up the good work, and well done. :)

Not much here, but what is here is polished. Looks like you could have used a little more time.

Simple but well done. I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/KSNN8ZCA9kQ

Aww - feel like you got cheated on the final score: especially "graphics": they were awesome!
