The Mean Astronaut by MCPGNZ
Maybe he's mean, but only The Mean Astronaut can save the World(s)! Help him to accomplish his goal or die trying!
This game! What is it all about:
Your main goal is to keep alive as many planets as you can.
With space bar you connect to planets. Those connected grow, others slowly die out.
When the planets grows to 100% it spawns another one.
You can jump between planets by placing your character pointing to one and pressing W.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
In configuration file config.txt you can change few options:
width/height of a window, difficulty settings.
ISSUES:
#1: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b.)
a) in DLL folder there are .dll files for x86/x64 machines, try to copy->replace them to the game folder.
b) if that doesn't work, try installing:

c)if you uncounted this problem and suggested solution worked, let me know ;)
d) if it not worked, join IRC channel or leave some kind of contact info to help me to help you! :)

Later on I get completely overwhelmed and only manage to hold on to one planet.
Very cool!
This was fun though, once it started to pick up. Maybe id add some sort of dotted line showing where your astronaut is about to jump once you disconnect from a planet, maybe highlighting the current target? The game looks really cool when you're shooting.
I did find an interesting little glitch where I could get more than one mean astronaut and connected planet at a time. I tried to get a whole bunch of them going... but then the HORDE showed up and there was just so many I was forced to spin in circles and constantly fire to drive them off...
(And the little astronaut popping his head up at the controls screen was gold. I only which I could give this 6 stars. XD )
