Stranded in Space by Hoothoot

made by Hoothoot for LD30 (COMPO)

The game is about saving a stranded spaceship by moving around worlds/planets in space.

Made in Unity mainly focusing the Unity Web Player. Hopefully it works fine on other platforms aswell.

I'm not overly excited by the results, but considering my little experience in game design, I think I did ok.

Interesting idea with the gravity. Needed a lot of patience. Stopped at level 2

Sorry, I couldn't rate your game - for some reason it wasn't responding to the left click, and I couldn't get a game started.

Game is pretty fun to play, but gameplay betwixt levels is pretty much the same

Very nice :) I got a few scare jumps on explosions :D Overall really nice puzzle.
Btw if left click mouse is not working for other, then click on another opened tab in Chrome/Firefox/Safari, then click back to the game. It is a lil webplayer bug.

Nice gravity idea and realization but I feel it's very hard (tested on the web version)

Pretty interesting mechanics. Nice simple visuals. The only complain though is that "yellow" planets, are actually green.

I like the idea, simple yet efficient physics ! The graphics are neat. I couldn't figure out level 5 though :(

Definitely an interesting concept and different from a lot of the games I have played so far.

I liked the idea of moving the planet to move the ship although as mentioned before by others, requires a lot of patience.

That said, it was really challenging until I noticed I can destroy yellow and red planets with the blue planet if I don't have the ship on it (not sure that is intentional or a glitch). At that point the game became really easy.

Over all the game is fun and I wished there was a background music to go with it.
Well done :)

Interesting concept, but it was kinda frustrating. I really liked the art (but the 'yellow' planet is 'green'). Nice entry!
