A game about a newly hatched space monster who needs to find its own style... by consuming Planets!

What Worked * We did not spend long deciding what to make (~1 hour) * Amazing Art! * Art integration was very smooth and Vaidas selected a good naming convention early on. * Plenty of sleep * Planned our features and built in priority order

What didn't work * Several features were never even begun (Planets react based on your monsters design) * Animation went out the window on day 2 (I should have learned Spine last weekend) * My Dirty code using HUMP Vectors means it runs very poorly on slower machines * There are assets for about 15 more planet types which are not featured in the game. * No indication that you are charging up a swim stroke (no animations)

Controls

Everything is Mouse based. * Looking Around: Mouse Wheel to zoom in and out. * Moving Around: W to move forward, S to slow down. * Warping Around: Left click and hold to Charge a big burst of speed Right click and hold to slow down. * Eating Planets: Left click on a planet when it is near to grab on, and again to eat it. Right click to let go of planets.
