Lovely work with the drones! (I'll call them drones). It's quite satisfying sending out a swarm of them :)

Okay, seriously, do not put your entry on a website with a 30 second commercial with no option to skip (and that my adblock can't stop).

Nice job, I like the balancing act that you created.

Suuuuper fun and addictive. It's like an RTS with cool orbital physics.

Amazing game! I love the micro management and resource system. The level progression made it easy to get into the game and start enjoying the click fest.

Endearing. Love the music and gameplay. :)

Nice one! Got hooked for quite a while and I can see this as an awesome mobile game.

That was fun! It's the best of the planet / resource games I've played yet (who would have thought that would become a subgenre). The audio is nice, the graphics could be made much better with only a little bit of work, and the gameplay was fun. I think this would be a good game to adapt for mobile. One problem I had though was that on a relatively powerful machine, I was still getting some pretty decent lag if I got enough drones fired off at the same time.

Charming game, I could see me playing a much longer version though I would stick closer to the puzzle element of combining resources rather than too much focus on the missiles and trying to stop incoming objects etc. Well done !!

Found it to be very fun! I also like the way the hectic element of the mechanics contrast with the calm mood. Really nice game, I would love to see this idea expanded upon.

Wow! Love this work.
Great minimalistic graphics and atmosphere.
Super fun gameplay and game mechanics... I'd almost say addictive :D

Awesome game! One of my favorites of #LD30 so far. The gameplay is pretty cool.
Great work... and if you make more levels, I would like to play them :D

Great concept! I loved having to balance generating resources with defense using the missiles.

maniulo 2014-08-26 07:47

Great gameplay. I didn't see at first how fun this would be from first couple of levels, but with new mechanics being introduced every couple of minutes the game kept me playing for a while.

Very cool game, nicely done, balanced, great concept.

altourus 2014-08-27 15:08

Very fun

Pretty cool idea... why are so many peeps putting their games with ads turned on though? You're going to make like 2 dollars ;)

It became complicated and stressfull really fast, especially with those little moving suns that I found really hard to take down.

Hi there. Love the clusters of mini-drones, great movement. Nice UI. Nice clear outputs and inputs for the various planets and mothership. Nice sounds. Finished (I think... mothership flew off) Great job!

Great game, really relaxing gameplay. I could imagine this working great on mobile.

What a little gem! Just to be sure, does it end with a fade to black? I loved the game design, how it progressively builds up to the last level. However, it must be said that it was a bit annoying that one planet circling the sun was blocking the view of my missile launcher planet from time to time. At the end what stays is a really enjoyable experience. Great job!!
