Hostile Planet by rezoner

[raw]
made by rezoner for LD29 (COMPO)
You are an astronaut equipped with a shovel. You have to dig for undefined items in order to achieve undefined goal!

Do not be afraid to die - I have made cool death animation and you will not have to start from the beginning.

The items are not marked on the view - you have to look at the distance counter and play the hot-and-cold game pretty much :)

This one isn't as good as your last one but I like it. The gameplay is pretty unusual which I like. And, as always, this game is pretty.

Don't really know how to find the items and you missed a translation there: It says "gefunden" in german instead of found in english.

Really nice game but a little confused as to what the actual mechanics were. Played with it a little and slowly got to start playing. A bit short though. Well done!

Wonderful graphics! And the music is pretty cool as usual.

The gameplay on the other hand is a bit hard and not that fun (too slow maybe?)

I like the aesthetics. there's something fun to the idea of space-shoveling. Would love to see a 3d exploration game in the same style.

One of the best I've played so far. Took me a while to figure out how to kill those spiders ;) Great job!

Nice Musik and Grafik ;-)
I liked the fact the sice and perspective changes a little bit if you reach the border of the planet. Also very clever use of the environment to get rid of the aliens (imho the astronaut is the alien on that planet ;-) )

Nice little game. Interesting visual style and i liked that i had to figure out how to get rid of the enemies.

Not really sure about the weird mix of english and german, but whatever. It werfs Flammen, i guess.

The graphics are pretty solid, lovely colors and cool filter.
The gameplay was refreshing and it was interesting to discover a way to deal with the aliens. The game feels too short though.
The music is the best for me of this entry :)

All in all a good game with an interesting concept.

I really like the subtle triangular tiling of the planet. A simple yet fun game! :)

The pixel art, the animations, all the effects are awesome !
The music is really cool, too.
The game mechanics are quite simple (or I didn't understood them correctly), but it kept me entertained for a few minutes.

Really great music! I think it will be pretty cool if the player can move on a 3D planet.

Awesome music! The game was really fun, and I found out I could get ready of those threats accidentally. XD
And those graphics!! That planet is so cool! And you even made things get smaller on the distance.

Great job!

Nice art, impressive music! But damn that's hard when the worm starts coming out. Great entry!

Nice game, reminds me of the chocobo treasure hunt in FFIX :D The fact that you can get killed and have to restart from the beginning is quite annoying to be honest.

Delightful synth pump, the jaunty spaceperson with their dreadful Blood Face. Pushing spiders to Spider Deaths felt like a hero! I enjoyed Very Much the gentle picture that was my Victory Reward.

Beautiful Game Thing.

Congratulations for the innovative game concept! I also liked how you emulated the retro game look by making the planet look like a low poly polyhedral. I think your stars effect for the background is somewhat broken though as stars seem to spawn more in the left corner than everywhere else.

Awesome music rezoner! (well this sentence is a pleonasm coming from you!)

I had issues figuring out how to play,
the first time I tried to go somewhere and tried to dig (with space), and I suddently teleport back to the original position.
However, if I just go in that place, it start digging after a time but I can't figure out where the items are and I have no feedback showing me if I'm doing the right thing.

So I think this game is great, graphics are incredible, but it needs a few polish on the gameplay.

Amazing music! The game mechanic is interesting too (that sandworm made me struggle for a good amount of retries >_<), and I love the retro graphics.

Congrats!! =)

Very good overall presentation, the game was enjoyable although i was a bit frustrated that I did not understand what the enemies did or how to avoid them at first, but I enjoyed overcoming that.
