Planet Devourer by Brassawiking
This is our entry for the Jam. It is a game about who is the bigger fish out there in the wild. A tale of hunter and prey.
Try to stay alive as long as possible, while upgrading your engine and charging your jump drive. But beware, something lurks out there...
Controls:
- Arrows
- 1, 2, 3
- Space/Enter for menu
So this was a three man collaboration. Made in Flixel and the actual work effort is probably around 48 hours. Great fun and our first Ludum Dare Jam.

NOTE:
The flash file might be very big and graphical, also we don't have a loading screen, so be patient and try refresh if it doesn't show up

1. You got a population, when it reaches zero you lose. When low you can use the first mouth piece on key 1 and eat the small and the big planet, not the black hole and the asteroid.
2. You are being chased by Krakken. To get away from him, you will have to use the third mouth piece on key 3 and suck up two black holes to make a jump forward and put more distance between you.
3. For every jump you make, Krakken becomes faster. To keep him at bay, you will have to use the second mouth piece on key 2 to upgrade your engine by eating the small or big planet, not asteroid or black hole.
