Planet Commander 

Made with ❤️ for LowRezJam 2024

How to Play:

  • Move Planets: A/D or Left/Right arrows
  • Dodge the space ship and its lasers.
  • Every planet that makes it past the space ship unharmed earns a point.
  • You will earn bonus points if you have a near miss with the ship or its laser!
  • The game ends when 3 planets or 3 ships are destroyed.
  • Try to get a high score!

Leaderboards

I set up a global leaderboard in the game using dreamlo. It is accessible in game under the Star tab on the scores screen. However, the requests aren't working correctly in the web version. If you'd like to use the global leaderboard, please use the downloadable version of the game. The local leaderboard works on all versions. 

If you'd like, feel free to comment on this page with your high score!

I wonder what happens if you type LRJ2024 on the main menu?

Managed to get a 30, not sure how that good is. At first I was super confused as usually having a ship means you control the ship, but after that I figured what is going on. Not sure about the proper technique at this point, but it was fun. Well done

Nice little arcade score chaser!!
