Very cool! I'm amazed that you did that for a jam. One quibble: Since I'm playing it on a laptop, the view is way too big and it makes it kind of unplayable, trying to avoid and shoot the monsters. It gets my vote for graphics though!

Graphics are gorgeous, gameplay is very solid, but slightly...ehh, "vanilla", could be improved in my opinion.

But yeah, playing this I would assume a helluva lot more than 2 days went into it, so well done!

Solid build! The sky changing is fantastic.

Controls seem to get stuck every once in a while tho?

I had some trouble with the controls, and felt 'thrown in' to tough enemies too soon. Awesome style though!

Amazingly good. Somebody is making the most of Unity Pro's features :D Really fun, polished game. I wish it was a little harder, but overall really enjoyed it.

WHOA MAN! So pretty! Needs music BADLY. The game gets really hectic and fun... and I dig the unique concepts you have going on. Keep working on this one! I'd love to play a final version. GREAT WORK!

Thanks again! I agree about music needed, but i just can't make it myself. Initially i planned to use Wolfram Tones, but someone commented i cant use it because of copyright (

very entertaining shoot'em'up - loved the word transitions

I did something on unity too, but I'm not used to the graphics like you... Sir, im going to scope your project!
got some trouble with the camera & rotations like me.
Nice job man ;)

A few bugs, but looks great. Love the rotating world, nothing to envy to a Super Mario Galaxy! Could be improved (character design, but in 48 hs. it's obviously understandable!) It's super cute and loved the effects (the sunshine, blurry focus on the objects, etc.)

Nice shooter if a bit difficult, good looking graphics. But I died due to lack of mouse lock and then it restarted from the beginning...

Nice visuals but ran quite slow on my mac, even at the lowest setting. I really like the use of dark/light and the planet transition concept. The upgrades added some nice depth.

The controls are too hard for me; I seem unable to move exactly where I want to and makes me look ridiculous circling a health box... I loved the graphics and I wish I could do something like that! ^_^

Cool. Played it through with one death. Could be deeper in combat but the graphics and setting makes me not care.

Congratulations on a good performance.

Very nice game! The best combat in any LD game Ive ever played, and it was a good challenge as well. Almost died on those last 2 planets, that boss planet was mental!

Amazing graphics, although a bit more optimization wouldn't hurt. Some extra lives or ability to continue where you died wouldn't hurt, though.

Amazing graphics, I couldn't figure out what to do though. I ran around and collected these blue boxes, and tried to shoot things but no dice. Wasn't able to figure out how to "launch" to other planets unfortunately. Frame rate was also an issue, but it looked stunning. I enjoyed just running around the planet to see the effects. :-)

Amazing graphics - the upgrade system is pretty cool to include in a 48 hour entry, but with so few options, having to run around and collect all the cubes at the end of every level was a bit of a chore.

What I loved about the cube collecting though, was if you DIDN'T grab them immediately, you could use them as cover, and that allowed for some cool moments of strafing behind and shooting out from cover.

day and night is sooo good. Does night time affect the aliens? it seemed as if they sped up on the dark side of planets, but wasn't sure. graphics overall = amazing. super great. it'd be awesome if you were to continue this onto something outside LD, just to fix the frame rate issues and some gameplay elements + add music. nevertheless it looks super mega brilliant.

Fun game. I liked the lighting effects, where if you go on the other side of the planet it becomes night.

Nice graphics! I'm a little unsure of how well the pixely texture works wrapped aroudn those trees, but the DOF and shadows look really nice with the pixelated grass. The walking animations on the characters can be pretty distracting, and I had difficulties shooting enemies until they were right next to me (even with the bullet speed upgrade).

Nice work, though! The level transitions are really nice looking and the sounds work well.

Wow, the game looks great! I'm not sure how much unity is giving you for free here, but it's clear I need to learn to use it. I like the power ups, the art is definitely my style, and the shade mechanic is cool! great job.

A very nice looking game! The gameplay is fun too, although there was a bit of lag on the movement controls which made it hard to dodge the enemies. I like the upgrades between levels, that adds a bit of depth to it. Well done!
