Planetshipper by ronaldm
In this game you play a spacecraft that can carry planets.
To score points you need to connect the planet with the correct universe.
But be aware! There are some very static enemies lurking around!
Controls:
WSAD / arrows
Enable grapple: E
Use grapple (to grab planet): F
Shoot: space
Note: First LD game, not everything is finished but the result is playable. I liked the LD challenge and will participate in the next LD also :).

It needs to be more challenging (random pop of enemies that move, aim and shoot the main starship for example).
It might not be finished but it works.
Apart from making enemy move and have them spawn regularly to have a challenge, I'd add an animation to the hook for when it is grabbing something or not.
This game could probably be added to - like making some planets moving in solar systems so you have to pick them out of their orbits, enemies that chase after you, and maybe other enemies that steal planets and run off with them so you have to give chase.
Anyways, congrats on finishing your first LD48, and best of luck with future entries. : )
