Cool, but did you make those backrounds? :P

Very interesting concept.

That said, the game is flawed in one major way: Don`t distribute sources without a binary! I do not want to install the dev form of the SLD packages in my home computer just to play your game. :-(

As for the game itself, I liked the mechanic of slowly building your ship. Having the ¨detector¨ part near the beginning was nice, but it would be better if that part provided a mini map. It was mostly a guessing game to hit the last two parts.

Looks and sounds interesting, but no binary==no play from me. :(

An OS X binary would be awesome :)

no windows binary, no play...

Can't play with no binary.

Sorry but can't play the game. I am able to compile the whole thing without a warning, but then trying to run the game from within the “bin” directory exits with a segmentation fault. I debugged the game and it seems that it can't load the fonts from there, so I tried to run the game from the top level directory, but then it did nothing; not even showing a window or any further logging message.

Just couldn't get it compiled. Sorry.

Was simple enough to compile (for anyone having trouble, the instructions are in the readme file). I liked it, but it was a bit frustrating, would be better if the radar gave a minimap of the items in orbit or so, and you started out with it, it's nearly impossible to tell what orbit things are in until you're up to them and when that close its almost impossible to get them on that pass...and it's too hard to keep a steady orbit :/

Then it just uses 100% CPU without showing a window. (Arch Linux, 64-bit.)
