Only One Earth by DanielVF

made by DanielVF for LD28 (COMPO)

My wife had the flu. I had kids 4, 2, and 1. Somehow this game happened between cooking, shopping, cleaning, playing, and sweeping up broken ornaments off the floor.

Instructions
------------
Tower defense meets asteroids. Move constructed defense satellites into defensive position using your tug. Because asteroids break apart when hit, you'll need a multi layer defense.

Controls
--------
WASD = Move your ship
Hold Spacebar to pick up a satellite.
Release spacebar to drop it off into your current flight path

The game crushes when I collide with the grey square pressing spacebar.
The concept is fun, though

Clicking spacebar on the moon seems to freeze the game.

Nice idea. I found it difficult to insert satellites into orbit, some kind of trajectory preview, or at least a tutorial, would have been nice. It also gets very confusing very quick and the physics act wonky sometimes.

Sadly I had no luck running your game successfully. IE won't run the game at all. In Chrome the game stops, when I press space and in Firefox the controls seem to do nothing. I will try your game later on a different system again, because it looks interesting.

Once you get the hang of it this is a really nice, clever game. Well done :)

I've fixed the bug with trying to carry a planet. ;)

Cappelnord, I'd love a trajectory preview too! I'll probably add one to my personal copy of the game.

I know the movement is realistic, but it's pretty awkward.

The game is working now. It's an interesting game, really hard to control though. I like the simple graphics. Some sound effects would have been nice.
BTW: I think you missed to buy fuel in my game, to travel to the next planet.

I did not understand everything, but still had some fun :)

The concept was awesome! But the spacebar made the moon freeze!

Odd, that's been fixed for a while now.

Inventive take on Asteroids. Shame it's missing any audio feedback.
