The music was unpleasant; just a repeating bass beat. Interesting concepts of planets battling each other, but I didn't really get the "connected" part of "connected worlds". Controls are awkward, having to play with one hand."},{"author_name":"Tom 7","author_uid":"1984","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:10am","epoch":1408935900,"text":"Ha ha, this game is ridiculous. Hilarious take on the theme. I found the controls kind of stiff, but it was still fun. More variety between the "planets" would be an improvement. :)"},{"author_name":"Mali","author_uid":"5540","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:45pm","epoch":1408984800,"text":"Very literal interpretation of the image Ludum Dare used when they tweeted the theme! I like it. Controls were wonky and I didn't like the font. Graphics could have done with some work too and like sharpcoder said I also kept getting stuck in the opponent. Still fun though, better planet graphics and better controls would make it better."},{"author_name":"esayitch","author_uid":"16000","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 7:23pm","epoch":1408994280,"text":"Hiya,\rI liked the concept, but I think you could have used the theme better... there is no "connection" here. \rI liked the circular move pattern and the controls seemed suited for it.

A lot of people have already commented on the controls feeling awkward, but that is the main thing I noticed to improve.

With variety in the size of the planet, and maybe on trajectory it could be a more "gravity" like combat game : if you have to fight Jupiter don't come too close, because of the size, but you can easily target it with an asteroid from far.\r\rBut actually the idea of making fight with planet itself is really new.\r\rPut a K to combat and add some fatalities! :D"},{"author_name":"Spang","author_uid":"38899","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 1:54am","epoch":1409104140,"text":"Nice Entry, I had a great time playing it.

The controls are a little bit difficult, i think it would be better to use both hands (one for move and the other for attacks and shield, for example).

Thank you for some variation in games though!"}],"images":["ld30\/23103-bc9a596fe856c6a8104a7f9b2605337f.jpg","ld30\/23103-75e6a7767cb829c6f64368df29f4a15c.jpg","ld30\/23103-6bdbfaa22d38c110e9a29e54b548cb1a.jpg","ld30\/23103-a5bd171d62b8486331eed6bb417096e3.jpg","ld30\/23103-0d17b342cb0cbe7f71ea8ea159e09cf2.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/sjx0t28fa0cwhfs\/OrbitalKombatFinal.jar?dl=0","text":"Jar Download (Dropbox)"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/qnhanxi0s0ho1fb\/OrbitalKombat.zip?dl=0","text":"Source Download (Dropbox)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18074","g_author":"23103","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"18103","g_title":"Orbital Kombat","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"697","g_commentcount":"16","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\/23103-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/23103-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/23103-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/23103-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/23103-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hope you like it! It's inspired by arcade fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Streetfighter. Struggled to get a solid idea with the theme and the gameplay is kind of all the same but the most difficult AI is actually rather challenging. Controls can be found in game.
