Controls are much tighter than when I tested on IRC! The puzzles were challenging enough to be interesting, but not enough to be frustrating.

Galactic wifi XD

Cool take on the theme. I agree the controls were nice. I'd have maybe made them a touch tighter. I got stuck after planting the first antenna though! The game didn't prompt me anything new, and when i flew off it told me i was lost.

Cool use of the theme with fairly intuitive gameplay.

You definitely did a good job with this entry. The theme and innovation were 5/5. My one massive complaint is the sounds. I absolutely hated the connection sound. Why is there a series of coins being collected or whatever that was when the game was completed? The other real complaint I have is that I couldn't find a way to stop building if I accidentally pressed B on the wrong planet. Still, overall a 4/5 from me.

The idea is very clever, and the worlds look nice!

The asteroid-style controls were a bit frustrating however.

I also discovered that pressing 'N' at any time skips levels, though that might be on purpose.

Very nice mechanics :)

Wow! Had a lot of fun playing this. Especially the antenna mechanic, it was cool to use and cool to see. Was sad it was over so soon!

dusho 2014-08-25 17:57

very nice
think I accidentally pressed N once and it pushed into next level without completing actual one..

fxcesinha 2014-08-25 22:53

Very nice

Really cool puzzle game. Would be nice to see more levels in the future.

Great puzzle game with many dimensions to take into account. Well done!

duncankeller 2014-08-26 00:20

Nice job! I like the concept, and I thought the mechanic of rays getting more focused as the reach increases was very clever. I think I would have enjoyed a more puzzle-focused game, without having to worry about the actual flying, or if the fuel was abstracted into a mechanic of simply clicking to travel different distances, but that may just be my tastes. I also would have enjoyed it more if there was more of a challenge. Great work, I liked it a lot!

This was fantastic! I have no constructive criticism.

But I am so happy that this theme has brought about great space games like this.

mrexcessive 2014-08-26 08:37

Hi there. Great idea, really like the mechanics, visuals and sounds. Great job!

cricklewood 2014-08-26 08:46

Very original game mechanics, good job.

No real complaints except that the sound effect for when you completed the level feels a bit closed and loud. Perhaps you could apply a small reverb or echo to it.

linuus 2014-08-26 22:30

Very interesting and fun concept. Would make a great iPad game!

kiwiboi 2014-08-26 22:37

Lovely entry, really enjoyed this. Great mechanics, audio and very fitting of the theme! :)

snicklodocus 2014-08-26 23:04

Great use of the theme, and fun as well! The way signals focused as they got larger was smart. The spaceship driving feels a bit unnecessary but was enjoyable all the same. Good job!

1967 points. :) Very nice entry with a cool mechanic. More levels with some special antenna types and harder situations would make a solid game imo.

franklins-ghost 2014-08-28 13:12

Liked the controls, gave a great sensation when flying in space. Did end up just flying around on the first level for a bit and seeing if I could make it back to the planets. Also nice use of the theme.

ofursnati 2014-08-29 12:55

I like this game, Well done. I love it when Im almost out of fuel and just miss the last planet and I am screwed.

commodorekid 2014-08-29 12:56

I really liked the game. I only wish the gravitational forces were a little bit stronger far away from planets, so that I would be able to do some cool G-turns :) anyway. Good game!

hungyg 2014-08-29 13:01

Really fun game! Controls were well balanced, I especially loved that I didn't have to be a rocket scientist to land on a planet (it didn't matter if I crashed into it, like some other space games here) It wasn't clear sometimes if I could pass the signal through some of the asteroid clouds, it was mainly guesswork, but other than that it was a great game.

rjhunter 2014-08-29 13:01

Fantastic work, especially for a first LD! I found the controls a bit challenging, but I liked the puzzles.

rfmteam 2014-08-30 12:13

haha i like a lot the physics! maybe if u find some sci-fi sounds and music to put on top of this could add much more mood into the game! ;-]

camlang 2014-08-30 13:42

A very solid puzzle game entry. Flying mechanic needs some tweaking but apart from that it's a good basis for a future development.

divillysausages 2014-08-30 20:52

Nice idea! The control scheme made me think of the film Gravity, where they're trying to hit the space station with little or no fuel :)

popcorn897 2014-08-30 21:08

Love the idea not the controls. Graphics are alright and the sound does its job. Pretty good, you should continue this.

phocker 2014-08-31 00:20

This was a great entry. Awesome controls, nice use of the theme. Nice graphics. Very high marks here. Great job.

Very good gameplay. But imo the too greenish background ruins the atmosphere.
