hippolyta 2014-08-26 12:27

nice concept!

webfreak001 2014-08-26 12:39

good game. i like. Im so evil buying all the food and selling it somewhere else xD

darkuser 2014-08-26 13:21

Good game. Description says music but there was none.

damrem 2014-08-26 13:22

Happy guys that you enjoy! What are your scores? How many times did you travel to gather 10,000 credits? Best score for me so far: 31... I know people who made 22!

Cool game, took me a while to realise that getting passengers helped make the game go so much quicker, in fact it seemed almost unbeatable without making use of them. Seems like space trading is a perfect fit for the theme - I can't believe it didn't even cross my mind when coming up with ideas. I would love to see this as a full blown sandbox game, like a 2D sins of a solar empire without the combat.

@WebFreak001 You so nasty making starve millions of people!

@Rob Glen I have some ideas to improve the game: more merchandises (fuel could be one), bounty hunting (investigating to figure on which planet space bandits are hiding, then go there and use weapons), upgrading the ship (more cargo, more efficient engine...)

@DarkUser You made me doubt, I could have forget to reactivate it, but there is definitely music! It's an ambient one called 'Space Machine A' by Kevin MacLeod (http://freepd.com/70s%20Sci%20Fi/Space%20Machine%20A). I guess you just have to turn your speaker on :-p

Good job!

I've always loved business simulation games, and combining this with the mentality of puzzle-arcade score hunting (lowest possible set of moves) is absolutely an original idea! Very well done! :)

jacic 2014-08-27 15:31

It took me a few minutes to understand what I could do, but I enjoyed the experience. :)

Really fun - though it ashamedly took me far too long to realise that I could check the stock at other planets by hovering over them before visiting >.< Great game though!

Nice game, congrats!

wdebowicz 2014-08-27 16:06

Fit the theme very well.

hemuuuli 2014-08-27 16:17

I like how you can take your time, plan your moves carefully and really optimize your routes. Some random elements would be nice to break the pattern though.

damrem 2014-08-27 16:58

Thanks to all for your feedback!
@Jacic @rustybroomhandle I'm taking note of that. A light tutorial would definitely improve the experience.
@Hemuuli Trade exchange, stocks and passengers fluctuate randomly during each travel. Do you think about something in particular?

01010111 2014-08-27 20:42

Really solid game! My score was 38 :) Loved the simple icons and the passenger mechanic.

Reminds me of a certain popular graphing calculator-based trading game.

01101101 2014-08-29 14:56

One of the best we've played so far. Coul'd have been better if deeper, but it's hard to achieve in 72h ;)

banana4life 2014-09-02 15:17

like it :)

h1s2 2014-09-05 09:47

very rewarding when you make a goog deal :)
i would have liked to so the exact course of the items in the other worlds. otherwise pretty cool game!
