Volcano Planet - in review

Game in review:


If you're thinking it's just a (polished?) whack-a-mole variation you'd be right I guess, though no moles are involved. Spending time getting better at it can get you a long way further (courtesy of the gas suppressing modules for being fast), rather than just becoming impossible at a certain point which I don't find that entertaining in the classic WAM's. It's been designed as a 5-10 minute game though you can go a fair bit further.

Local and global high scores.

It's been in review for a week, another week or two by the sounds of how slow it is these days, assuming no rejection.

The moving white dot is indicative of the touch position, not in the game itself.

FWIW If you think the explosion at the end is a tad lackluster - while reviewing the capture I realised I had optimised half of the explosion elements out just prior to submit (doh), it'll be back in an update.

The bits I managed to turn off were large chunks of the planet exploding out

It does look better with that stuff on.

Lights. I looked at the performance hit doing it this way and it was generally insignificant compared to managing it via a color scheme. Earlier in the development I allowed unlimited volcanos which hit the light limit and they'd flicker wildly as different lights were on/off - which didn't actually look that bad but you generally won't see this during play now.
