Planetfall by TheGrieve

[raw]
made by TheGrieve for LD17 (COMPO)
UPDATE: Thanks for the feedback on the crashes guys - seems it was a buggy opengl32.dll that a botched install of VStudio stuck on my machine. (Don't even use VStudio). Anyways, should all be fine now and I've uploaded a Linux port now too :) - it requires libglut - so please "sudo apt-get install libglut3" or however you manage your packages

Premise:
---

You are a lone alien scout ship, sent to find a new colony for your alien friends... or

something... Anyways, the planet is full of water, you and your alien buddies hate the

stuff. Lucky for you there are loads of flying island parts. Use your space ship to drag

these parts down to the middle of the ocean and build on the existing island so its big

enough for all the freaky alien types who might follow.

Controls:
---

Arrows - move ship
Spacebar - activate grapple
P - pauses

----

Known issues:
---

- some of the islands get randomly stuck in the air
- some vsync issues causing tearing on some machines
- HUD is jittery as all hell, due to a rounding error I was not keen on chasing down
- The "story" text seems to only work when it wants too.
- Also the "story" text scrolls uber fast on the linux build. Not a"show-stopper" so now fixies. :(

Ah well its my first LUDUM DARE! AND I SUBMITTED! :)
