LudumData

Puny World by villhest

[raw]
made by villhest for LD23 (JAM)
*** Important for webplayer ***
I didn't have time to change the controls to work properly with the web-player. Works best when downloaded.

*** Story ***
As you are scouring the galaxy for cookies, you happen upon a world - which is puny. It cannot be allowed to live!

Destroy the Puny World and everything on it!

*** Readme ***
My first ever LudumDare and also first ever solo game.

I don't really feel finished, but here goes!

My greatest regret is not making more levels, and spending way too much time on assets. If I only had one more day..

Good luck everyone!

*** How to play ***
Simply unpack the .rar anywhere, and launch .exe

*** Controls ***
LeftClick = shoot
RightClick = drop asteroid
LAlt = Zoom in
Space = Zoom out
wasd/arrows = orbit

*** Credits at game end ***

Great audio helping to create a nice mood, but it's not much of a game... shooting for a while then win. better luck next time.

I think it's not allowed to use creative commons music >.< Anyway, nice graphics!

Reply to laubori: I re-read the rules just to be sure and saw nothing about creative commons music. Even so, if I've broken any rules I apologize. Thank you for playing my game!

Good audio, fun styling. It took me awhile to figure out what I was supposed to do, I was trying to run around and shoot my own ship for a bit.

Shooting the planet was fun, but I wasn't sure what I was supposed to aim for. Clicking a lot led to victory.

Not really a game, but good graphics and it's always fun to blow shit up.

Good mood and sound but it isn't really a game. I bet you can turn it into one though. Keep at it!

Fun little demo. Needs a goal to be a game. The graphics are decent enough. I like the artillery perspective. Maybe if the spaceship was descending to earth and you had so much time to take out the force field generators and perhaps dodge the missiles from the earthlings. Good start though. Keep it up. You'll get there.

It's a pretty good start to a game. Planetary destruction is always fun :D

the graphics and musics are nice.
The gameplay is also good even if theres not much to do besided shoting at Earth.

It's well executed but lacking a challenge of some sort.

Would like to be able to zoom in a bit and see more of the explosions.

The visual style was nice but the game itself was a little bit barren.

nice idea and atmosphere, i really enjoyed being able to launch an asteroid and then rotate around and watch it collide with the planet. Definitely unfinished though, and game crashed at one point.
