  • F-You Earth is a very clever interpetation of the theme You Are the Weapon. I agree wholeheartedly that Pluto would be pissed at Dr. Tyson and the rest of the scientists that disparaged the name of Pluto! Mechanically, the game has a lot of polish on the orbital mechanics of the solar system, and moving in and out of the system worked well. I did notice an interesting bug where if your rotation around the solar system was inverted, your shooting direction was also inverted (speed in the negatives, right clicking would shoot outsystem instead of insystem). From a game loop point of view, the ability to increase mass by munching on moons was hilarious, and the earth having missile defenses is so earth, very good job. For the art style and sfx, they fit very well. I loved the planets getting concerned as you moved closer to them with their eye movements, sounds were minimalist but fit the intended action. For the GDD, very well laid out, the systems described were implemented as expected and the document has that lived in feel. Good job. Overall, an amazing game, i had a blast playing it. Great job!

Summarise your game!
You are Pluto, and you're sick of those pesky earthlings. So you're going to slam yourself into Earth to show them who's a planet.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You're playing as a dwarf planet trying to go on a kamikaze run at Earth. You are quite literally the weapon!

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Not especially, hope you all enjoy!

Good ideas here! I thought the music was relaxing lol. The newspaper spinning was a little disorienting. Really good job tho! Keep making games!

I tried multiple times, but couldn't get past 2nd planet, did I miss something?

What I did:
1. consume 1 dwarf planet and its satellite, near player starting position
2. then fly to the closest planet orbiting with 2 moons (at that moment I have  a mass around 6-6.2) and orbit line is colored orange/redish, but not red-red.
3. when I try to consume its 2 moons, it's alright, but when I consume big planet I lose the game.

Other than that, I like the concept and that space momentum when moving Pluto around!

Thanks for giving it a go. Yeah, if you've gone off to a gas giant you're going to be a lighter than them at just 6 mass. The orbit lines work on the green is go go philosophy. So generally you want to hoover up the moons on your way in, and then come back to the gas giants if you're in a completionism mood.

I want to try and get some scaling in, so that they're noticeably bigger than you, but the scaling is causing other issues right now.

Loved it!
For me the game really makes players to have a good management decision to be able to achieve the goal and combining it with the theme as weapon does really fit well (reminds me of agar.io) Very well made 👌(nice sfx)

I think another feature i'd suggest is tips through out the gameplay to help players manage their decision. Maybe like when player cant get more mass but haven't eat earth yet, a pop up will show and gives a tip to which planets to go first and so on

no im not saying this cus im bad at managing things..
pls bro help me those rockets are killing me 😭

liked it a lot i love to demolish planets 🔥

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

That's a lot of really good feedback as well! I'll space out the launches a bit as a next step and see if I can get tips in as well!

Thanks again!
