Definitely noted, though, if I decide to polish this up more in the future. =)"},{"author_name":"cirolve","author_uid":"7965","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:31am","epoch":1335162360,"text":"woo, fast paced game, seemed like it got too difficult too fast :\/ still though, really fun, and the graphics were impressive. good job :D"},{"author_name":"Daniel","author_uid":"11829","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:34am","epoch":1335162540,"text":"Cool sound track!"},{"author_name":"Monomer","author_uid":"11275","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 7:13am","epoch":1335164880,"text":"Thanks dudes!

I like how the big red ?thing? (planet?) blocks the path of fire. Good twist on an old genere. Not sure about the theme here though.

LOL about left-handed controls--finally RIGHT-handed people are getting their comeuppance! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics were impressive, and your take on the theme was quite original. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>(Not nearly as many platform games as I expected in this LD so far!)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also liked the sound effects."},{"author_name":"azurenimbus","author_uid":"12119","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 1:26am","epoch":1335230460,"text":"So cool!

Will take a look at your bandcamp. \r<br\/>The missile defense game with a giant robot is pretty cool. The game got a bit hard too fast, I wanted to see more progression and more ennemies. I love these kind of games and always felt its been underdone. I did a missile defense kind of game a long time ago with rebuilding mechanics and boss battles ( and it was shitty because i was 14) but I feel there's still potential to make awesome modern games out of this style of stuff."},{"author_name":"orgarus","author_uid":"11198","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 6:24pm","epoch":1335464340,"text":"When I read things like Kamikaze Planet I got to play!\r<br\/>With no doubt: I LIKE THE MUSIC of this entry!\r<br\/>The game is a goodlooking old school one, a bit repetitive though. For sure this game wins on playability if you add powerups that increase the gun power.\r<br\/>Oh! And the idea of the planet approaching to the earth (I suppose that is the earth :P) is awesome.\r<br\/>Cheers!"},{"author_name":"Ben","author_uid":"10911","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 1:10am","epoch":1335488700,"text":"Great game, I had a lot of fun.

My  name is Monomer, and here's my compo game!\r\n\r\nCreated using Flash Develop and Flixel, as well as Flixel Power Tools!\r\n\r\nMusic was done in Reaper primarily with Plogue Chipsounds and a little bit of Kontakt and Battery.\r\n\r\nSprite work was done in Paint.net.\r\n\r\nSUMMARY:\r\n\r\nGreat scott! A vast race of vehement tiny aliens is attacking your beloved city, and their using their own tiny planet as a weapon! Enter your Gargantuan Defense Robot (patent pending) and try and shoot that planet back up into space; don't forget about their tiny alien ships, though, and be wary of your robot's heat levels!\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\n\r\nA and D to move\r\n\r\nSpace to fire (builds up heat)\r\n\r\nShift to dash (builds up more heat)\r\n\r\nIf your heat gets too high you won't be able to fire until you cool down!\r\n\r\nThanks for playing!\r\n-Monomer<\/p>","title":"Kamikaze Planet"}
