Nice game, loved the art, sound effects and the idea it self, definitely a lot of help to have the "how to play" button. Good work!

Super cool idea executed well! Really fun rotating around & managing everything. I often found myself accidentally bringing up build menus. Would be cool if right click didn't bring up menus for build sites.

I'm a Terrasite! :smile: This game was a **ton** of fun to play. There was a slow difficulty ramp that got really tough after awhile. Everything felt very polished, from the art to the music to the gameplay. As one suggestion, some more notice to the player that the bases were getting destroyed would be nice. I didn't realize that was possible until I rotated back around the world to find a bunch of my stuff gone haha.

Congrats on completing an awesome entry!

Well executed concept and really really polished! The tempo of the game is also very gripping. Not entirely sure but the railgun + missle combo seemed a bit overpowered (?) I would personally prefer a variety of equally viable guns instead of a hierarchy of weapons. But other than that, great work!

I think that as far as it goes for LD games I played this one for the longest time because it was pure pleasure. Wasnt sure how can I loose till I noticed that the platforms got destroyed because the big alien ship was no taken down by railguns, but I had fun anyway.

Thanks!

The whole "defense around the globe" concept is really cool! Cheers Arend

I liked that it's very easy to understand what's going on, no tutorial needed. Great entry!

Great game!! I really liked the art and all the work on UI, really after a while I got lost and dizzy spinning around the earth jajaja! but without a doubt the game is a lot of fun with so many different turrets to place. It's a brilliant idea to have the ability to level-up turrets, if you could add an asset to each level it would look great and help you know the level of each turret. Great great job!!

Very cool game. Tower Defense is always fun and the sphere movement seems very new and I love it. Balancing was impressive as well considering the time to develop it, props for that. Only thing I would like would have been to have a little more time at the start to see how "big" the planet is. I only noticed after a while how huge the planet is when the build-stations were already partly destroyed.

You've done a great job here. The way you drop the player in and everything is pretty much obvious is no small feat. The graphics are great, the concept is interesting. Really engaging. Even love the name pun (see our game too if you like name puns :P). Would love to see this concept expanded into more upgrades, planets, etc.

Really nice game, please turn this into a more polished game and release it on steam or something. I need this to be a complete experience!

I like the arcade feel of this game. The game is a breeze till this giant UFO arrives and makes survival much more difficult.

Superb graphics.

I really loved this game, everything felt just good.

Good music, good movement around the planet, nice visuals, very well polished and programmed.

This is an amazing entry for a 3 day jam, great job :)

Oh wow everything feels so polished, and I only notice the radar in late game, but it sure is helpful to provide that info. The amount of aliens feels intimidating and they destroy my build platforms quite effectively lol, but I still get the terrasite title XD

The visuals are very impressive too, and the sound effects accompany the gameplay very nicely

Good game,
I love the visuals and the sound design is great (judging from your website you're an audio design professional?).
The game was pretty intuitive, I knew what I had to do.
The only thing I didn't know was that I can shoot.
I saw it on the page after playing.
Maybe add an indicator to the game as well just like you did with the movement controls

![terrasite.png](///raw/00e/e/z/4e097.png) MUHAHAHAHA downed 4500 guardian scum. I saw there was a way to manually shoot, but I never had any visual indication it did anything so I just focused on constantly reconstructing railguns. Which is pretty effective. I loved how the background changed as I sapped the resources from the planet.

This is a nicely polished game. The audio and graphics work well together. I didn't realise that the resources were finite at first so my strategy of filling all of the sites with factories at the start may have been ill advised. At least they kept their upgrade levels when I turned them into weapons (not sure if that's intentional though?) ![Screenshot from 2022-04-19 20-22-16.png](///raw/734/13/z/4e2fe.png)
