The gameplay makes fun. I wished to hear some sounds, but I guess in the post jam versions you'll add some :)"},{"author_name":"BradSmallPlanet","author_uid":"39744","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 12:32am","epoch":1409185620,"text":"This game is really awesome, but sadly it's probably going to be too hard for anyone who's lacking an understanding of orbital mechanics. I love the idea though, and that you can look at a huge chunk of space by zooming all the way out. I tried using C a few times, but could only get it to show a path when zoomed out; It would be cool to have it predict your path on a more granular scale."},{"author_name":"LesInk","author_uid":"41655","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 2:32am","epoch":1409192820,"text":"Enjoyable game to play and explore.  I like the concept it was fun to crash over on other planets sometimes to find there is little to no fuel.  I'll have to keep trying."},{"author_name":"Piat","author_uid":"25677","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 4:23am","epoch":1409199480,"text":"An interesting use of the theme and neat little space sim. The controls are a little fiddly but not too bad, a range indicator on the tools would of been very helpful."},{"author_name":"skiddings","author_uid":"15697","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 12:11pm","epoch":1409400360,"text":"I found it very hard to collect ore, but the graphics were nice"}],"images":["ld30\/38898-79545ed724e4ef5a1f121a005ad22363.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/eli.marable-family.net\/exploder","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17212","g_author":"38898","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"17241","g_title":"Planet Exploder","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"557","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/38898-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Theme explanation:\r\nThe game takes place in space, with the player piloting a space ship.
