A Call From Galactic Command by P1x3lc0w

[raw]
made by P1x3lc0w for Ludum Dare 46 (COMPO)

LudumDare46_Nd0cAMw6ua.png You are monitoring a remote outpost on the far end of the galaxy, when suddenly you get a call from galactic command: a meteor storm is incoming and you need to protect the colonies in your sector from it.

LudumDare46_c5wCjyAybR.png The game might seem simple at first, but it gets surprisingly difficult! This was my first ludum dare and i hope to get some good feedback from everyone, i hope you like my game, and good luck to all other participants aswell :)

I like the mechanic and that you incorporated a story into the game.

Simple arcade-style game, but it has unique features. And it's hard to watch a lot of planets at once. I can see it as a great mobile game with some polishing. Nice job!

You start with thinking "ah this is easy", then you get a second colony XD
Nice game! :) I would also see a future for this as mobile game.

I really liked this game. At first it seemed easy because the meteors were slow but once I started getting new colonies I realized what was really going on. I also liked the music.

I like the chill music combined with the increasing difficulty of the game. It's hard to keep track of the planets but this challenge is also the fun part. Cool game!

Wow that was really cool! It started so simple that I was not expecting much but it quickly evolved into something very engaging. It would be cool to have some sort of indication of nearby meteors in other colonies, I had practically 0 meteors on my second colony for like 5 mins so I wasnt paying attention then BOOM one snuck up on me. Really cool original concept, well done :thumbsup:

Cool Idea very simillar to this: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/a-tale-of-rebirthism
At first I tried hard but died with 4 colonies. Then I switched to easy and won :D

At first i was like "easy"
But next i got a 2nd call.
Ok i can do it.
Oh, a third call.
No, do it yourself, i can't do everything for you !
Great job !

I love the simplicity and game play! The audio was calm and relaxing. The game was unique. The extra stuff you had to do got complicated in a fun way. The difficulty curve was nice. One of my favorite compo games. Great job,and keep it up!

Wow this game is great, seems at first like classic gameplay but has a nice twist and throws some surprises at you too. I think you got the difficulty curve just right. The mood is lovely as is the music. Had a lot of fun, thanks for making it!
