World Bash by DaGamesta

[raw]
made by DaGamesta for LD30 (JAM)
Destroy as many asteroids as you can by swinging planets (and pluto) around! How long can you protect Earth? And, more importantly, how high of a score can you get?

Touch and drag to move the earth around. Try to destroy as many asteroids as possible to get a highscore. Compatible with Android-based devices.

Programming by Michael Wojnar. Design and pixel art by Tony Wojnar. Music and sound by Fisher Moses.

We are currently debating whether we will post the game on the Play Store, since it would cost us $25 to do so. In the meantime, we have it uploaded to dropbox. If you have the proper security settings on your Android phone/tablet, you should be able to simply click the download link and automatically install the app on your device.

Due to the massive difference in an engine that would work on iPhone as well as Android, a port of this game on such an engine may not even be quite the same game, so we will not be putting the game on iPhone for now. Look forward to a multi-platform phone/tablet game next year though!

Any chance you could post footage of gameplay for people that cannot run this game? I wouldn't mind seeing it in action - I feel like I could at least offer suggstions/votes then.

Okay, we'll see what we can do about that.

Cool game! (Pluto is tiny though, impossible to hit anything with XD). Neat concept, and bashing asteroids with jupiter is quite fun. Nice job!

Simple, fun game. I was able to get to see 3 different types of projectiles. The way you approached the theme made me literally "lol" when I realized it. :-D

Technical note!!!
If you are on a Windows machine, you can (and should) download BlueStacks so you can play this game on your computer.

Well done, worked great on my Nexus 7 (2012).
Playing it I first expected the other planets to have more momentum of their own, but I got the handling fairly soon. :)

Interesting concept. Loved the graphics and sound effects. Though that it could've used more work in the physics department, like using momentum to change how you swung the other planet.

Also, if you bash into an asteroid with the earth, it still gives you five hundred points even though you didn't hit it with the other planet.

@someone9999 Haha yeah, Pluto was meant to be hard mode basically.

@Docjekyll Then I guess you missed the last type of projectile. ;)

@LeafThief @CoopNasty Yes, we wanted to add more realistic momentum, but sadly we ran out of time and left it as is. As for the earth, if you're willing to sacrifice 1/4 of your HP for the points, then why shouldn't we give you the points? :P

@madmaw Thank you. ^_^

I played this on my Samsung Tab2 and it works great. Really fun to play and I really love the premise. Literal Connected Worlds wrecking up the galaxy! This is something I will probably continue to play for fun in the future so thanks for that!

I was a little dissapointed when I started to play with the biggest planet as I expected more dynamics in the planets connection. That changed once I tried the smaller planets and trying them made me play for quiet a while. Would have liked some more asteroid types and/or power ups. Overall a nice game. Well done!

Funny game. Although I don't know why anyone would choose a planet other than Jupiter for biggest shield.

Simple but very very addictive! Good job!

I don't have a Android device, I played with an emulator ( called Andy xD )

It was pretty fun to play. I liked mars the best. I felt that it was a good fit for mobile. Also, getting a play store account is worth it, google has done a good job putting out a professional tool. Being in a group though, you might want to consider putting it up on one person's account, or making a group one.

Really well done! I do like how each of the planets moved differently and the overall look of the game was great.
