Cosmic Canvas is a strategy/defense game that combines elements from the tower defense genre with space shooters for something completely different.     In Cosmic Canvas, your object is to create a planet by combining base materials. Once your planet reaches its early development stages, it begins to produce different materials, which are your weapon against invading forces whose only objective is to destroy your planet.     By combining the 3 base materials, you can form 27 different final planets. There are 9 types of materials you can attack with, each complementing each other in protecting your weaknesses.     It's all about evolution. When you evolve, your enemies evolve. And you must find ways to counter their powers, either using the right combination of materials or through upgrades.     The game will be available online in game portals and on the AppStore for iPad and Google WebStore for Android

An early version is available through the Ludum Dare website http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-24/?action=preview&uid=2958

Interesting premise. How do the planets defend themselves exactly?

The gameplay is based on dragging the materials to throw them. Wandering materials can be thrown at the planet to be absorbed, or thrown at enemies. The materials that come from the planet are more varied and you throw them at enemies, or use them for traps (we are still developing the traps, so not much info there)

Kinda crazy when you think of it. But I like it, its a fun kind of crazy lol. Lighthearted.

If I were to overthink it, how do the planets actually throw the stuff? I mean, are you in the role of a God, Gaia, or some uber-advanced planet creating being?

You control a robot that creates planets. We still haven't discussed the story, but I hope it has something to do with crazy scientists and time travel.
