God Bless My Spaceship by Autonomous

[raw]
made by Autonomous for LD30 (JAM)
Our first Ludum Dare.

"The earth is doomed. You and your crewmates have only a few minutes to build your spaceship and take off to Mars."

This is a multiplayer(!) game, so you need stable internet connection. You can play with a friend by starting a game at the same time, or just play alone.

** We have fixed major bug some people were complaining about

Hi guys,

I tried this on my Google Nexus S, but I get a resolution textfield box and "fps" textbox superimposed on top of the screen when I try and run it. There's no way to get rid of it and touch the main game buttons undeneath. :( Music sounds good though. :]

This is just great. I'm definitely keeping this on my phone. All I can seem to gather of this game is that I attach random objects to my base until time runs out and pray that it makes it.

Won on first try.
Either the game is super easy, or I'm super lucky though.

Or maybe...
IT'S A MIRACLE!

Great game!
I really like the idea and the humor put in the parts :D I mean, who wouldnt atach bombs and tree logs to an emergency spaceship?
The controls were quite challenging. Especialy the abrupt turn on direction change.
Part placement could be improved a little, by preventing part overlapping.
Sorry for being pedantic, but is there a loose condition? After miraculously winning on the first atempt I left the game run on its own, while typing this comment and the sole basic chassis is currently at -1600% height ;)
All in all very cool idea and quite solid execution!

P.S.: Are the buttons area-specific? English text would have been better for this contest ;)

Worked great on my Nexus 5, nice game, gameplay felt a bit slow though, probably due to the slow movement, and I ended up having to tap quite a bit, hoping the object I grabbed would fit on.
Also, I had no idea what most objects would do to my ship.
I had fun though, if the speed gets upgraded a bit and it's easier to place parts where you want them to be this game can definitely use a full release! :)

Hi, i also develop my game for android. I use LibGdx but anyway, i like graphics and music.

Also the HUD with the controls.. it's something that it's very crap on my game :)

So.. Thx and good job for your firs LD !!

not bad at all. Love your art. It runs pretty slow on a low end tablet.

Would love to try this out. Needs a non-mobile version.

Worked well on Nexus 7(2012). Liked the humour but found it rather clumsy to control. Somehow the contraption I built actually took off. Made it all the better to see the gorgeous success screen stating 'it's a miracle'. Made me smile :-)
