Wow! We actually had the same exact idea, Pluto looking for revenge, i ended up doing something different but still, pretty cool to see you acted upon this idea haha.

Liked that you kept size of planets, Jupiter challenge was nice and unexpected.
Disliked that anime-humor though.

Nice graphics man, not a big fan of the humor though. I liked the Uranus pooping though hahaha. Jupiter told me to do 80x2 and i wrote 160 but it did not work for some reason, stopped playing right there. All that said, i actually did not find the game than fun to play.

Amazing... great art, great humor, great bosses, great audio. I loved it, at first I was going to play my hate on you for using mouse pointer for movement, but you used it well! Congrats on being my highest rated game so far!

Overall loved the art style and music. "Ayy lmao" was a bit, uh, overused, but some of the other humor was solid (tbh I'm guilty of putting fart jokes in games so I'm not one to speak). Nice work.

I Played this on Livestream a bit ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwY1-PtcDqs

I didn't get the humor, and I would randomly die here and there despite not hitting anything. I think the core gameplay was very solid. Just not all that into memes. Great art style.

Funny game with lovely graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)

Nice work on the graphics and sound!
I only think it's a little difficult in the beginning to tell what you are supposed to crash into and what you are supposed to avoid, also I think some relatively fast moving things didn't have enough contrast to the background, but that's no big deal.

A lot of fun and crazy visual effects. I really love the pixel picture at first when you launch game (I suppose you are in that picture XD). But... I give 1000000 points in sounds! Great japanese whispering and short shouts hahaha, I'm your first fan about your sense of humor.

Nice game! Really like the graphics. Doesn't feel repetitive cause of the planets. Jupiter kinda broke the flow though. The humor wasn't really my cup of tea except for Ethan and pooping Uranus.

It kinda feels like we made the same game but set in different dimensions. Same background story but earth and pluto are friends, you play as earth, pluto is your goal, you don't avoid astroids and gameplay is vertical. Mind blown!

This game is too dank for me! :wink:

Nah, but seriously I liked the humor in this game and loved the subtle references (like vape nation). The graphics and audio are amazing and the gameplay is simple, challenging and fun. It is a very nicely done game and was happy too see that someone else is also using Godot.

Great work and good luck! Really enjoyed this one.

When the music started I was like, "oh my gosh; is this going to be ORG?" because that starting instrument sounded very ORG like. But I'm glad there's more of an 8bit sound to some of the instruments. Wish some of those running notes would continue though.

But anyways, the game...what did I just play? The tone was so weird, but strangely, it came together well for this game. The cutscenes reminded me of the old TV games I used to play when I was a kid. I liked the humour for the most part, but man the tone was all over the place. I gotta give it to games that give me legit math questions to solve, though. Since it was pretty easy to die, I wasn't really a fan of the record skip sound effect. It was also hard to tell what could kill me at first, since it seems aliens are collectible (for what purpose?) and some of the planets can be touched while others kill me instantly. Mars had the most unexpected attack. I quite enjoyed this ironically, even though I'm not really America.

Ayyy lmao :joy:

I great example why simple is sometimes the best. The mouse control is simple and nice, and it looks pretty good. I found it really hard, but i'm not the best mouse pointer XD.
Great game, i think i'll keep this on my computer! (Check out my game if you have time, i'm in desperate need of votes)

I think I remember another game with the same story of pluto seeking revenge. But the gameplay was quite distinct. Fun game.

P.S. vape nation~!!

WTF did I just play??? :stuck_out_tongue:

This is pretty fun, although it does get frustrating to start over from the beginning when you rescue an alien only to discover he was overlaid on top of an asteroid. Other than that, though, an amusing game, I liked it! The little Japanese quips were especially funny.

It _is_ a pity that collecting the AYY LMAOs didn't really seem to actually mean anything, though.
