[UPDATED 25-08-14] i pushed a new linux version, more compatible i hope, now it uses all the libraries of the standard blender distribution, before was linked against archlinux version, btw is x86_64, if anybody wants a i686 version, please ask.
Later i'll make a macosx version.

[UPDATED2 25-08-14]
fixed the last upload of linux build.. thanks to uberscientist for the report.


Tools:
* blender(using the game engine)
* gimp (to draw the background texture)
* audiosauna studio, to create the music

It's the first "real" thing i made on a 3D engine.


TODO:
* fix camera rotation when gravity changes(jump to other planet)
* etc..

Very playful in looks, music, and interaction. I really like the exploration of the feeling of jumping to other space objects. Mouse input was stuttering, (ignoring input entirely alternating every half second or so) which made looking around laborious and probably compromised the intended feel a lot. Good Job!

I felt I'm in space when I jump. I really like the feeling this game brings. If you improve the camera work, it will be more enjoyable I think!!

thanks for the comments!
@elliottd i think the stuttering is related to the windows build :/, i'll try to test on a windows box..

So, is there a goal? Or just happily jumping around?

Pretty cool man, I dig the background texture and general color choices.

Thanks for the comment on my game (the killing minecraft babies one lol) -- I first played it from the .blend file which worked great, love the glowy bloom effect and jumping between gravity systems. However, just to test I tried the linux build and had issues. The console spit out this: http://pastebin.com/NG9GDPww and the screen showed up like this: https://i.imgur.com/IzJE95Z.png -- thanks again, the BGE is pretty awesome :)

@uberscientist, damn, i'm an idiot, somehow i made the last .tar.gz only with the binary, without data files.. i'm reuploading now a fixed version, thanks for the report!

It's pretty chill, although the gravity switch is pretty sudden.

I loved the music! Relaxing and great ambient feeling as I was floating around space jumping from planet to planet! Nice entry, good job!

Also our Linux build is up as you requested :)

The effect of the gravity flip was a bit sudden and jerky, and it took me a bit to figure out what had happened. Not much content, but it was overall fairly relaxing. Didn't care for the music though. Wasn't sure if shooting red cubes was supposed to do anything.

Nice entry, I could see this turning into a nice mechanic for a larger game. (Also, thanks for the reminder about Linux builds!)

Nice and relaxing. I really liked the visuals and just jumping around. I got stuck in between two planets after a couple minutes though :P.

Love this sort of thing, lovely little exploration game. I did have a few issues with the camera not looking the right way though.

Some little improvement in the camera and you will have a solid experience! Good job!
