Interesting little idea for a game. I like the view with the rotating planet a lot.

But I think the game is broken I couldn't figure out how to do most things (instructions on controls would have been helpful). Also I could buy and build everything right from the start and basically insta-win. The system which checks if you have the correct resources or not appears broken (I didnt have any and need any to build).

Hey. Thanks for trying the game. You probably downloaded the previous version which I uploaded by mistake. It was for my tests, and you could buy buy everything on the start :) The proper version is now here, and there you have to work for your game to progress.

This looks very promising, but I could not figure out what to do after buying the water can and collecting water. I guess I had to water the seed but no clue where or how.

Hey there. I like the mood of the small little planet. The rotating planet feels great me. But I don't know what to like lincore said ^^

Ah, I see. I though about adding any tutorial or something, but I wanted to leave there a feeling of sandbox. Just play around, observe the screen and you will see what to do ;)

Firsstly you must buy a watering can. Maybe I should have made it bought by default.
Too little time to think about it :)

Interesting concept and well done. Unfortunately I hit a bug where after about two weeks I couldn't move or do anything anymore, but until then I had built the science center.

@Mirroar: Story of my life... :(

fun! trigger some are large, have a condition of defeat?

kar 2013-12-16 12:10

No condidion's of defeat, you simply cannot die here. Now it's like a time management. I planned to add a necessity of eating each day, so no food in storage for a couple of days = you are dead. But the time limit said "No!" :)

Getting a 404 when downloading here. Is it still up? :(

kar 2013-12-16 12:23

Please try again. It's up for sure. Just tried to download. If you have any more problems give me a note.

I liked this game, but the game crashed when I walked over the red cross. Shame :( I liked the backing story!

dustystylus 2013-12-16 12:36

Kar: Got it, thanks!

It was pretty fun, although the long waits when collecting something felt a bit unnecessary. I also froze when day 16 started, I couldn't move anymore, so I guess that was game over for me :)

dustystylus 2013-12-16 12:40

Nice game! Alas, I had the problem where (on Day 6 here) I got stuck in 'collecting water' and couldn't move. Nice concept though. :)

moop 2013-12-16 15:51

Interesting concept. I didn't see any benefit from sleeping though, is there something I missed?

kar 2013-12-16 20:27

No, it was just a way to get the next day quickly. Usefull only on the beginning. It was meant to be more useful, but I had to cut some mechanics from the game, too little time.

sadiquo 2013-12-19 19:41

I loved play this game, but after few minutes I was unable to move :( Great idea and very well done :D

andrew-wagoner30 2013-12-19 19:42

There are some spelling errors, interesting concept though. Nice job.

goerp 2013-12-19 20:11

Nice concept, but bugs kept me from playing. After a while I couldn't move anymore.

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-23 20:42

It all started fine, but it froze soon after I figured out what to do.

jonask 2013-12-23 20:51

Really nice. The game got stuck mining though.
