Intergalacticnet by divillysausages

[raw]
made by divillysausages for LD30 (COMPO)
You're the latest chump hired to fly through the galaxy connecting up the very first inter-galactic internet! Soon every planet will be connected in glorious 56kbps.

Use the mouse to control your ship and SPACE when requested.

Each planet you pass has a connecting ring, designed to hold the (invisible) cable you're towing. Like a bleeding fast, space travelling needle, thread your cable through the connecting ring to make the connection.

Don't miss too many though, and your robot overloads tend to frown upon that. They're so smart that they can frown upon each one of your atoms and they rapidly separate from your body in a distressingly short period of time.

Obviously don't crash into the planets either; you're here to connect them to the internet, not kill billions in an extinction-level crash. Your company doesn't have insurance for that.

This game is hilarious! I started purposely missing the targets just so I could hear the robot's sarcastic dialogue. Graphics and audio really add to it, too.

Great music, quite funny, graphics work, occasionally frustrating but solid as whole.

I've never wanted to smack a robot so hard...

Good fun, interesting choice of colour, and I love the idea of massive hoops being built on planets, to then fly a spaceship at near lightspeed through them while threading an ethernet cable...

Haha, glad to see someone else took the theme down this road. I was pretty terrible at this game, but I still enjoyed playing it. It would've been nice if there was some way to control my speed a little better.

Cool. I liked it. Funny background story. Frantic gameplay. The cable should have been visible, though.

This is really good! Impressive little game. The minimalistic graphics look awesome, lots of neat little details like the rotating planets and the vhs effect on the robot screen in the corner.

Hi there. Nice flight control, really funny comments from Robot Overlords. Very enjoyable. Particularly liked the balancing of the approach-the-hoop physics, well done on that! Good job!

Although a bit hard at first, the controls feel very nice, especially when you manage to combo a couple of planets! Also, this is great visually, and very funny in the dialogues.

That is an pretty interesting way of navigating space, I'm so used to top down flat space control that I was quite surprised to crash on the first planet!

The difficulty of control offers challenge, but the experience is a bit repetitive though. (different planets, or patterns in their appearance would make it more captivating!)

Nice atmosphere (graphs, dialogues etc..), well done

Nice game. Gets a bit repetitive, but the music was cool and the robot's dialog was funny.

Great dialogue and mood. The music choice was spot on too. I was terrible at the actual gameplay but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. A very funny, entertaining entry!

Good job :)

Quite liked the mechanic and "3D effect" of planets coming up and flying through the rings, didn't expect that. Nice work!
