First Ludum Dare Submission: Star Supremacy by sfdnetwork
[Game Info]
This is my first Ludum Dare submission, entitled 'Star Supremacy.' A game where you take control of a sun, and navigate it to a red giant to create a supernova, trying to avoid the clusters of rock that zoom past you.
[Development]
To make the game, I used none other then Java's standalone library, photoshop for the art and FL-Studio for the music. The games idea didn't come to me at the start of development but rather 10 hours in, after I had scrapped my other idea for being too boring. As a result some of the code in this is very messy, and it created room for bugs and errors. Nevertheless the game's core is intact, so that is why I have submitted it anyway.
[Known Bugs]
-Audio completely doesn't work outside of eclipse (Runnable jar)
-After playing a match or two, the 'play' button doesn't reset the game.
-Keyboard input doesn't work on some versions of java
[The Future]
In the future I will continue development on this game, fix bugs, add new items and features perhaps. You can help me out by reporting the bugs.

In my opinion the sun is a little slow, but well done anyway! :)

It is an interesting game, fun as well, though I had a bit of a problem with it after losing, I don't get if I start from the last level I lost in or from the beginning, and the keys seemed to get stuck for some reason after losing and restarting. Still, very nice game =)

I seemed to occasionally get an instant failure when pressing play, and I don't think it reset properly so I somehow won

Like moomoo, I get instant failure some times too! Almost as if the game is still running while I am on alternative menues

It's a shame the sound doesn't work, it would have added a lot!

It's rather buggy but the concept is interesting nonetheless. The only problem I have with the game is how sometimes after starting the game, a rock just so happens to spawn really close to me (maybe add some sort of small period of invulnerability when the game starts?).
