Overall very polished. The gameplay got a bit repetitive over time, but the music was good and the graphics were fitting. A fine entry.

Fairly chill to start with, ramps up nicely with more planets. Music was suitably chilled and trippy. I liked it.
Cool design and nice playability! The only thing I missed was a fast forward button during resources transactions.
Very interesting difficulty curve. Nice job on the mechanics, simple yet well done!
Great concept and great execution of the theme. I found myself playing this for longer than the other games I tested. Good work!
Very nice work, I loved the art and the music, and the gameplay was highly entertaining for me. Kind of wish there was a pause button, but overall, very good!
Very neat, would be fun to play as a full game.
One of my favorite games this ld so far. The music sets a lovely calm mood and made the game enjoyable. The only criticism I would lay upon it is that the trips are a bit slow.
Thank you all for the kind words. :)
I'm going to continue developing the concept a bit further to see if it can go the extra mile. I'll be posting progress on twitter.

Lovely polished looks and sound, much of a Galcon vibe about it with a similar theme to my own but a very different approach. Only wish I could speed it up. Will come back to this later, please add a time compression feature :)
Nice game,
To slow for me... maybe some fast forward button would be great.
But the mood was very good.
Very good mood! Your concept is interesting too!
The movement felt a little slow to me...
The concept is cool, and I like the choice of upgrades on the new year...
The assets and audio use was great and the game was easy to learn. I also felt this could be developed but more as part of a wider game type. Nice mood and theme.
I wish there was a way to fast forward time at the beginning. Other than that, good execution in general
Due to popular demand, I've added a Fast-Forward (2x) and a Pause button.
Thank you all. :)
Interesting game, I appreciate possibility to speed up in this type of games.
cool game, reminds me of mini metro
perhaps add pirates in your full version which you can either pay off or hunt down
Sometimes my ships moved THROUGH the planets and thus, were lost forever in space.
I wonder what caused that? Maybe you should simply tween the ships between the planets instead of checking collision.
Nice game!
Not bad, but it was a bit boring waiting for the transporting. Maybe a fast-forward button would help?
Nice job
Pretty hard game, but I had lots of fun with it! I like time management games in general, and this is a pretty well done example. Good visuals with a clean intuitive interface, nice music, well executed progression!
One of the better resource balancing games I've seen this LD. Liked the music to help set the mood up really well.
I loved the slow but intense gameplay, I always seemed to be running out of blue stuff. Graphics and sound are superb, and the game has a very polished and complete feel to it.
I had a lot of fun playing it!
Cool game, nice interpretation of the theme! I think this game could fit quite well on a tablet. I like that you managed to get an upgrades system in there! As the camera zoomed out It became a little harder to read the text. Maybe visualize the resource in another way as well? A pie chart around the atmosphere perhaps?
@bytegrove I've plans to tackle that issue in a coming update, but that idea is fantastic. I hadn't thought about it yet. :)
Thank you all for playing, I've rated all your games as well.
Keep the feedback coming.
"Connect the planets with trade routes" seems to be a genre of its own in this LD. Nice game nevertheless and very good work on the art and the mood.
The first three planets were invisible (except for their UI elements), I'm not sure if that was intentional.
Nice game, it adds pressure every turn, keeping the game alive with a good rythm (thanks for/to fastforwarding). Great music, it helps the mood.
Interesting concept that became stressful after a couple of years :)
Fun gameplay and nice visuals. I liked the choice of upgrades, and how they could make or break that coming year.
Would be nice to see where you're taking the game from here!
Great game! I enjoyed it a lot and I will definitely be following your progress!

I liked this game. When I was thinking about a game design, I thought something similar to yours. Great entry!
Calm and surprising strategic game.
good work.
