A downloadable game for Linux

Albert is an old man who likes to catch planets with his butterfly net. This is a calm and simple game about catching planets made for the blackthorn prod game jam2.

Control the net using the arrow keys. Catch a planet and place it into the box. You can only hold one planet at a time. If you hit another planet while one is in the net, it will bounce out.


Thanks to javidx9 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-yuWVUplUJZvieEligKBkA) for access to his graphics engine and continuing to answer my silly questions.

Install instructions

Install: This should run out the box on linux however i have included the makefile and source, if there are any issues. Additionally the graphics engine (javidx9 Pixel Game Engine) is cross platform but i don't know how to compile on other systems, so in theory it works on any platform but don't hold me to it.
