The graphics are very nice, of both the earth, player and enemies as well as the UI. The choices that you get every 10 seconds are nicely color coded to quicly see if it's for the player of for earth.\n\nFor me the game felt way too easy. I bought all the upgrades before losing even 1 HP for either the player or the earth. The ten seconds flew by, and I was often just a bit annoyed that I had choose something again, because nothing was broken. \n\nIn the beginning I was surprised by the controls (maybe because I just played a game with different controls), I expected that W would be \"go straight ahead\" and A en D would be \"slowly turn left or right\". But I got used to the 4-way movement quite quickly. But also I noticed that I didn't really have to move, since the coins would just fly towards me. After 10 minutes, I intentionally stopped playing, to see what would happen.\n\nThe bullets have a nice wiggly tail. They also fly rather slow, but I guess that makes sense over those distances. :wink: \n\nOverall, nice job! :earth_africa: \n\n![LD51spacefield.png](\/\/\/raw\/4a0\/2\/z\/532c8.png)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld51\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/cslupius.itch.io\/ld51","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"84452","g_author":"1003914","g_event":"LD51","g_eventkey":"114","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"392977","g_title":"Space Field","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"834","g_commentcount":"25","g_site2_node_id":"299824","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"299824","n_urlkey":"392977","n_parent":"296586","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/51\/space-field","n_slug":"space-field","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"3914","n_created":"1664260415","n_modified":"1779407294","n_version":"959523","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD51","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":3,"author":3914,"body":"![Screenshot_8.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/e9e\/f2\/z\/51ef3.jpg)\n\nWanna defend your planet from the horrible people who wanna destroy it.
