Save the Stars! by anmorales

made by anmorales for LD27 (COMPO)

You got 10 seconds to save the stars, destroying Asteroids, UFO's and Black Holes, just by touching them!

Note: I had to change the package name for the google play version, so there are two branches on the github source, both have the same code, but different packages names.

Thanks and Sorry for the inconvenience

Pretty cool game. It's a very straightforward game, but it's well executed and the difficulty ramps up quickly enough so that the game doesn't drag for too long.

I saved 19 stars!

I didn't play on a phone but I can see it being some decent light entertainment. Nice work!

Good for a quick pick-me-up game. I'm sure it would have been even better on my phone.

Not very touchpad friendly. But i guess it would work a lot better on a touchscreen device :)

Pretty sweet, I like it!
although my finger started cramping a little from all the clicking

Played it on my HTC One. Really cool! I'll drop a rating on Google Play.

I cant believe how many times I clicked the stars accidentally. Somehow this game was just overwhelming it(in a good way!). I had quite a bit of fun though!

Works well as a mobile game. Would be great for kids.

Saved 31 stars! Nice little game :) Quite simple, and challenging at the same thing. I liked it!

Pretty interesting entry. It was difficult to make sure you were only clicking on the bad icons. Maybe varying the speed that good or bad elements moved would create an easily identifiable connection. I hope you submit another game in the next competition!

@thegrimace I wanted to make more identifiable the "bad" and the "good" but didn't really think of a way of doing it (had not enough time), I believe that the speed should stay like that so that it's more difficult to touch the bad ones, thanks for the feedback! and sure I'll submit another game in the next competition, I hope you rate it and give feedback again! :)

Nice little game. I started to get really good and then the game crashed on me and reset my phone, haha. I'll play again later to see how well I can do. :)

Thanks! could you tell me (if you get to play it again ;) ) if the game crashes again, maybe try to pay attention when it happens, it's a really small game and simple, I find it hard that it gets to reset your phone :P

A well done little game!

The music is too short, so it's repetitive after a while. Also some explosion/fade away/... animation would be great for destroyed objects. Good job otherwise ;)

A nice game ;)

I really like the graphics. And the music is close to being good, but is a bit too repetative. Although I still think it adds the atmosphere. A simple game, it's not gonna win any points for originality for it's gameplay but it was fun.
