I liked what I saw, but I was unable to move the ships. Cool graphics style though.

Very enjoyable Game. It's a bit difficult to select and move units because the cursor detection seems to have issues.

Selecting units is sometimes difficult, especially on left bottom side.

Fun little game! Controls during battle can be a little fiddly though, sometimes part of the map won't highlight, indicators above each unit for how many moves they have left in a given turn would be really useful and it's hard to tell where planet tiles actually are due to the angle of the camera. Music is awesome, attack animations are awesome, background is really awesome :P

Thanks for your comments, yeah, there are some tile detection issues, i'm working on it now.

Thanks for your comments! We didn't saw the problem with ships selection because we changed camera angle almost before the release and something went wrong.

Well, there are some technical issues I know you're awere of,but in terms of gameplay it's very intresting, I didn't have the chance to go further into it because of the problems with the camera, and some planets not being reachable, but I think you have potential for a good strategy game.

Thanks but this build is fully playable, if you cant select unit just move camera closer to it and it should work. I remind: hold middle mouse button to move camera, left mouse click for selecting units and right for attack/move.

ah, sorry
the wheel of my mouse is broken, so I didn't notice,
I'll try again with another mouse

Its dificult make movements, but when you play any time its really funny!

Selecting ships was clunky, but once I got the hang of it, it was quite easy to get in to. Strategy was quite simplistic but it's a good foundation for building upon.

Hi there. Looks great, the unit selection and command didn't seem to work. Bottom left corner unit not selectable at all.

tides 2014-08-29 16:32

It fully works people

Great game, cool graphics, nice music. Good job!

Once you get the controls working it's fine ! But i didn't finished it because there was a bug i couldn't start the last planetary system...

The Web version is totally broken for some reason... In the web version you win at the first turn. But then I downloaded the windows version, and that one is actually pretty fun! awesome work!

tides 2014-09-03 09:08

It seems that i'm and idiot and use ld30 folder for my webbuilds. Sorry.

For some reason I can win all contested planets in just one move. And scan all the planets from the beginning. I am not sure I should be suposed to do that. Please fix this in a post-compo web version and add some constraints to make this game more challenging. The potential is there though, and I like the graphics and audio. Keep it up!

I missed instructions how the game was supposed to work. Nice 3D graphics and audio.
