Panspermia by Carl Graves

[raw]
made by Carl Graves for LD24 (COMPO)
Panspermia is the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed by meteoroids, asteroids and planetoids.

In this game you launch asteroids at high velocities into unsuspecting sheep in an attempt to spread life to a targeted planet. Explosions ensue and many sheep are killed in the process.

Excellent game, great visuals and fun gameplay. Shame that there is no music, but otherwise fantastic effort!

At times a bit difficult but it's fun, has an interesting game mechanic and looks great. Well done!

Whow, the gameplay is both polished and fun in this game! Very humorous too - it could do very well if developed further. I'm thinking better sounds and added music, and this could be a big hit.

Really fun game with nice graphics! Wish the sound was a bit better, but on the whole, lots of fun. :)

What a product. I spent a lot of time playing it. I can't think of much you to change except that I don't like the flick mouse maneuver. I would prefer a slingshot interface.

I loved it.
I use to do gravity games, check my older LD. How do you design the levels?

This game feels really fun. Thee visual effects, specifically the speed trail and how it changes based on speed feels really tight.

Loved it- well done! Great game with a nice steady difficulty curb. This is one of my favorites from this Ludum Dare for sure! I hope it does well!

Cool, you've gotta turn this into a mobile app, it's perfect for touch controls :)

Great game. Could use some sheep sounds. Graphics were pretty small and hard to see, would have rather scrolled a bit to see more of the map up close, maybe a zoom function. Novel gameplay and the physics are good.

Apart from the omnipotent red lines that create impassible barriers of death and destruction in the very fabric of space time, you've got yourself some pretty durable sheep!
