Dead Planet by Hypnohustla

[raw]
made by Hypnohustla for LD28 (COMPO)
"Didn't you know you only get one planet"

Humankind has been doomed as a disease by an omnipotent alien race. How long will we last?

Arrow keys to rotate the satellites
M to mute the game.

My goal was to learn a bit more on how to use Unity. I think I achieved that so I'm happy! :)

I also wanted to create a cheery little arcade game with simple game mechanics. I'm hoping to add a high score system in the post-compo version, now I really just need to sleep.

LINUX USERS: I didn't know the right way to pack the Linux file, rar is ok? Please? No? Help. Tell me if it works. :)

The mood is perfect thanks to the intro and the well suited music theme.
The gameplay is efficient, Though I didn't went really far (100pts max on 3 games).
The little red ones are quite nasty.
Congrats for your first unity game.

Absolutely brilliant! This is one of those rare games on LD that just feels and plays right, control-wise. Also I learnt something new on the first go after being eaten by the yellow creature, love games that do that! Best one I've played and rated as of yet.

Nicely done.
It's irritating when three of those yellow guys show up.

Linux users probably expect .tar.gz, but we're used to dealing with .rars and .zips also.

I had fun playing this! I really liked it! Neat little arcade game. I got 101 points before I panicked and started to spin around. I really liked the animations.

Great game, there are great things to do with your idea of a "centered shooter". Best game i saw.

Really nice ideas here coupled with great execution. Really nice wave design and some cool mechanics. I love the enemies that disable your shields.

Great game and execution! Really hard on a slow system though as the rocket shields get slowed down a lot more than the enemies by lag

Great intro and mood.
One typo, in the intro there was "concider" instead of "consider"

Yep, this is pretty nice. I expected nothing less from the creator of awesome Lakeview Cabin. :) You rock dude!

Man, aliens are jerks, eh? HERE'S A TIP, ALIENS: if your spaceships are all in the shapes of EVIL SKULLS, you are PROBABLY the BAD GUYS.

I got 87. =) Nicely created! I found it all a bit noisy and stressful, but I think that was the intent and it achieves it quite effectively.

The enemy attack patterns being randomized but somewhat pre-designed was a nice touch, too. (The spiral one is my favorite as it is easy to handle but also makes me feel heroic =P).

Cool idea! Plays nice and fluid, the yellow guys are the worst (especially when 3 of them attack, so you have to pay close attention to which one will release off your defense paddles first!). Graphics are really nice too, the music ties well with them.

Personally I think arcade games are the best way to go for LD, and this is one of the best ones I've played so far! Played a good number of times because it was so much fun! :)

95 score! great sound work and graphics on this one. Very high quality! I look forward to see what you can do outside jams with skills like these!

Very well done. Reminds me a lot of lovecraft. Mood is perfectly done. Not much can be said about it except maybe just more if you continue to work on it because it was a good time while it lasted!

Excellent game! I like the mood. The controls are smooth! I got the mechanics at first game play. Really good job!

Great use of sound to set the mood, and just an excellent entry overall. Scored an 83 - not sure if that's good or not, but it was getting pretty tricky at that point :)

The music, the sound and these tentacles make this game really creepy. You set the mood up very well. Do you plan to make a post-compo version? If yes, you should try to continue on the graphics, e.g. making them in the same style like the satellites (they look really good!).

Awesome audio and mood! Really amazing! Great fun too and really really had a great feel to it, can't express that enough!

I've seen other games with similar gameplay, but the style and smooth controls makes yours much better.

Neat little game. The yellow guys neutralizing the satellites surprised me!

Well, if it doesn't work out, we have Mars too. We'll probably fix that place up real nice. Oh! The game is good fun and clever. I actually really like how earth does not look like a place worth protecting.
