Got it bookmarked!

Interesting concept, and fun. Building does tend to drag (I ended up going and playing some other games and then jumped back to this one), though I typically enjoy more twitch reflex style games.

Interesting idea! A pretty relaxing game as there is apparently no fail condition. It's fun to watch your populated planets just spin around though.

For further improvements I'd like to see the building sped up, with a progress bar that shows how long each action takes. The graphics are adequate, except for the planets themselves. They would benefit from some texturing / color. Also, competing AI civilizations?

Things start off a bit slowly and it feels to me like maybe the beginning stages where you're trying to ramp up your first planet should go a wee-bit faster. That didn't really matter enough for me to quit playing though and that says that you have something pretty cool here. I hope you continue development on this. Well done.

I dig these kind of games! I had a good time expanding my civilization and would love to see this expanded upon.

I like it, but it's really slow paced. After launching my first rocket I quit because it seemed like there was no long term goal and all of the planets around me were actually worse than the one I started on.

Fun to build civilizations like this, but it's a bit slow and the lack of audio made it kinda boring. There is a lot of potential here though, and I hope you flesh this out a bit more. :D

It was a solid game. Burned a good bit of time on it. it did get super laggy though, and I was forced to stop playing.

Liked it. The idea of exploring other planets and spreading out is very exciting.

I did find the gameplay a bit slow-paced after getting the initial buildings up. That combined with the fact there is no sound or anything "secondary" to do makes it a bit too slow game for me.

But other than that, cool idea and a nice game.

Gets really laggy once you start getting a lot of guys, the building takes fooreeeever though, especially for a browser game.

Awesome! Would love to see you finish it.

I liked the game- Just wish there was a speed up button. Starts really slow- great work!

Really nice concept. The pacing felt a bit slow and there wasn't really all that much to do, but it really looks like it has potential with some more work.

Nice little game, impressive work for 48 hours! Most LD games seem to be action-based, so it's quite refreshing to find an RTS here. Enemies would be nice, obviously - I hope you keep working on it! :-)

Loved it, great work!

I like it. It's definitely a cool concept (and similar to what I was making, albeit, in mine you deal with making chocolate). :D
