Planet Grower by lanza

[raw]
made by lanza for LD34 (COMPO)
Run around the planet to hit spaceships with bombs. When they fall to the planet, it will grow. Make it as big as you can before the atmosphere disappears, or try to get the hit spaceships orbiting the planet so their smoke regenerates the atmosphere.

scored 10 size and 20 ships downed
good fun little game, controls seem inverted to me but there is a guy running on the planet so maybe that is why. Aiming seems to be impossible and feels like I dont have control. Lots of shots seem to just smash back into the planet so that sucks.

Why is index.php a PHP file when it doesn't use any php code? (Might have stripped it out before giving source) its fine just weird to see.

Nice game. However, controls are inverted and it's frustrating... :/ But i like the concept!

Fun game, but it was quite confusing as the controls were inverted like hpearson2 said, but that was what made it frustrating and therefore fun! :P Good job.

Nice little game. Felt like i had too little control, though. Most of the time i was just spinning around hoping to hit something (not that i didn't feel good when i finally did!).

Fun, but hard! I wish the cannons at least fired on regular intervals so I could get a rhythm going, but the randomness makes it hard to aim. Really like that smoke regens the atmosphere and like that when ships crash you get more firepower. Looks great, too!

nice little game but the random shooting maked it a bit unpredictable

Quite nice. Hitting spaceships (especially the first ones) feels a bit too random. But overall a nice little game. :)

Fun for a while. I felt that hitting ships was mostly up to chance.
