Destination: Gravity by ThreeLivesGames

[raw]
made by ThreeLivesGames for LD34 (JAM)
// Story //
The planet of Terranova has, for many millennia, been plagued by falling celestial bodies. Space devris, asteroids, fallen spacecraft, and the like. As a result, the Terranovians have invested great time and effort in the production of a technology powerful enough to prevent this debrid from coming into contact with the planet ever again.

You are the only remaining hope for Terranova. Equipped with a quazo-hyper gravity suit outfitted with hydraulic piston boots, you must deflect incoming detritus in order to change the fate of Terranova and all of it's inhabitants!

That was a good one, liked the idea for the two button controls. Though I'm surprised someone that can repels a large object with ease has trouble being smashed by them :). Ayway, anyone coding a game on C++ deserve respect, so congratulations!

ps:where's the source code? I wanted to recompile it on Linux. I was lucky this worked on Wine :).

Hot mama, those are some pretty pixels! Nice work on the visuals. The audio is one my favorites in the jam so far.

Neat gameplay. I feel like using another jump button could make it feel a little more responsive. Maybe consider adding that after Ludum

wow this is awesome! i really love the art and the gameplay is super unique! Jumping between asteroids is super satisfying! I feel like you should be able to jump and begin moving quicker, though. Also I'm pretty sure i won after i died once, and the game crashed so i didnt get to continue.

Very creative, and lots of room for interesting scenarios. It got too difficult for my weak will after something like 10 levels, though, and I had to give up.

The best game I ever saw in this LD. Amazing on all aspects. The only thing is you may need a better tutorial level. my first 2 mins experience is really confusing. But once I get it. Amazing!

This was really cool. Love jumping between planets, and once you start deflecting entire planets into incoming objects it feels super cool. Also, the soundtrack: makes me smile. Awesome.

Great Job! I loved being able to use planets to destroy other ones before they made it to Terranova.

Best game I've played so far! Very fun mechanics. Music was great, art is nice and the atmosphere, no pun intended, was great! Good job!

Cool game, the physics were very well implemented. I enjoyed flying through space whenever I made a mistake :D. The graphics and music fit together, and the gameplay was difficult enough but simple to learn.
