But as you already know the lack of progression is really hurting the game. I think it would become really interesting to see how it would play with escalating difficulty. As it is now, there is very little challenge even if I pretend that I die by hitting something :]\r\rAnd to everyone who tries to play the game:\rDownload the "LD32-Distrib.zip" to play.

Thus your dt might vary between the frame where you leave the playfield and the frame where you try to correct that. If the dt is smaller on the next frame the planet might not move back enough and get stuck. There might be more to it though.\r\rIn a game like this I suggest handling the collisions after moving everything, so in your case last thing in the update function.\r\rLine 736 of main.lua should probably also have enemy.x < 0 instead of planet.x < 0."},{"author_name":"track02","author_uid":"52910","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 8:47pm","epoch":1429648920,"text":"@nassi\rThank you, I'd like to say I've sorted it now but it seems to happen so randomly I can't say for sure."},{"author_name":"chikun Dev Team","author_uid":"29857","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 12:50pm","epoch":1429706700,"text":"A fellow LÖVE user!
