I get a runtime error as soon as I open the file. It first says that my resolution is too small for the game (1366x768 pixels) and then says that the program tried to act in an "unusual way" and thus had to be aborted. :(

This game is really hard to get into, and the readme is about as helpful as text files usually are (not much).

It's possible I was just playing the game badly, but I had to wait a lot, either for resources to be harvested or for ships to be built. And there seems to be no win or lose conditions. If this game is updated or remade post-LD, I'd like to see it more streamlined and with aliens trying to kill you.

What I liked the most is how visually well put together everything is, with readable icons and little rocks flying between the harvesters and the depots. The only thing left to add is a sweet starfield to break up the blackness of space.

Yeah, I'd also like to see some more work on this one.

I'm amazed at the amount of content you were able to get in here in such a short amount of time. It took me a while to figure out how to get ships going. I found myself alt-tabbing out when I needed to wait for resources. I got a memory error from png library right before colonizing my next asteroid! I love the artwork, and I'd like to see you add more to this and see if you can get a complete and fun game out of it. Good work.

well, its a start.
The Good - graphics looked good, interface read well. Its a nice start.
The Bad - its... and rts with no objective? You put alot of cool stuff in this, but its lacking any of the things it would need to actually be a game.
The ugly - no, this was actually rather pretty, just not much going on.

The lack of objective makes this game harder to play. However great start on an rts that has the potential to turn out great. some spacey music would of been a cool addition
