Master The Space

Ludum Dare:

This is JDA's submission to the ludum dare 42 game jam. It is our first submission to the jam. The theme of the jam is "running out of space".

Story:

After the universe has collapsed, a big black hole arose. Planets were shattered into small pieces and are attracted by the black hole. If the pieces won't get assembled to planets by a space master, they will be lost. Your task is to assemble the pieces back together, before the black hole can strike.

Game objective:

You have to put pieces from the same planet (same texture) together. If you put together 5 pieces (20 tiles) from the same planet and they touch each other the planet is assembled and disappears. When the planet is assembled, you get a point for every tile that touches the tile of another piece, so fit them together without creating any holes.

The black hole strikes if you didn't place a piece fast enough. When it strikes, it takes away your space and every piece that was placed on that space. So keep in mind to place your pieces fast enough.
