Sort of like Transport Tycoon but in space!

cruion 2014-08-25 12:44

Good job! The game is interesting and fun to expand. It would be nice if missions could be set between planets that a ship isn't at so it would navigate there then start the mission.

icylava 2014-08-25 12:59

That's a really nice game! A way to speed it up would've been nice though.

jab 2014-08-25 13:16

I enjoyed it! Good GUI design given the time you had.

simonnaus 2014-08-25 13:19

Kind of confusing at some moments but I really like the idea. Reminds me of Transport Tycoon.

goffmog 2014-08-25 13:19

Awesome! I hope you have time to check out my entry too, we had a similar idea only you got MUCH more gameplay into yours, beter graphics and a better mood! I really can't rate this highly enough.

Needs a save function and time compression :)

inateno 2014-08-25 13:20

Need objectives in the game, nice work !

makio 2014-08-25 13:24

I like this kind of game but i get a bug i cannot enter the name of the ship ( chrome / mac ) . i add you to my bookmark to test it later when you fixed it. Cheers !

kiwiboi 2014-08-25 13:27

Great idea, interesting concept! Very ambitious of you. As some others have said it can get confusing, but when you figure stuff out it's really nice!

datacr4sh 2014-08-25 14:58

a great level of polish here, well done!

andreblyth 2014-08-25 16:12

I like the idea of a space economy simulator. I was a little lost at first and I feel the pacing is tad slow.

skills641 2014-08-25 16:14

can't figure out how to play

nitram_cero 2014-08-25 16:19

A bit confusing at first, as it was pointed out it could benefit from a fast-forward mode. Funny text!

kapasrobert 2014-08-25 16:21

Interesting game but wasted 5 minutes before figuring out how it works.. needs some more help texts

sneeuwpopsneeuw 2014-08-25 19:52

a tutorial would be nice.

sneeuwpopsneeuw 2014-08-25 19:54

a little bit hard to get in to becuase ther is no tutorial but is a good game.

macocco 2014-08-25 20:48

Good merchant game but you should have mentioned somewhere that you can zoom out. Also ships should be able to start missions from planets they are not at and navigate towards them.

amvere 2014-08-26 02:34

This is impressive!! It was pretty hard to figure out how to play at first, but really nice job.

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-26 06:25

Nice strategy. At the beginning not so clear how to pick direction for research and how to build connection. But audio and mood are really cool.

liannethy 2014-08-26 08:30

Really good job, I concur with the other comment asking for a way to speed things up a bit :)

holgk 2014-08-26 12:07

I agree with the comments. A tutorial was planed and a way to send ships on a mission by selecting it and clicking to it's destination. But it was a matter of time. Time went off so fast that I wasn't able to implement them.

alpha_rat 2014-08-26 13:10

Nice work, lacks maybe a tutorial or a more complete interface. But in 48h time you did really good work with an ambitious idea

jharler 2014-08-26 14:11

Very cool. Somewhat similar to my game. I think you did a really good job here.

dustystylus 2014-08-26 14:20

Very nice, reminds me a bit of Ascendancy. Dunno what I did, but one of the planets (Gemini) flew off towards the camera. Was kinda scary. Great aesthetics and atmosphere though, well done.

parahunter 2014-08-26 19:51

I got bored but it also took me a while to figure out how to use the connections. changing the connection notification to say "click on two planets to connect" would have been helpful. The ingame time could also go a lot faster

honcho 2014-08-27 06:34

I really enjoy management games, and this is one of them!

nonentheless 2014-08-27 11:16

Would be nice to expand it. I like this humming ambient background - very spacy :)

43iscoding 2014-08-27 12:21

Interesting game, very well designed!

How did you make that nebula background? It looks brilliant!

mekuri 2014-08-27 14:06

A little slow paced, but apart from that a great game, I really liked the idea.

jjhaggar 2014-08-28 19:45

It was a little bit difficult to understand

mechanicmoon 2014-08-28 23:21

A bit confusing! At first thinked I need a tutorial .. but then I really enjoyed it

artamus 2014-08-29 09:18

Nice game, congrats!

commodorekid 2014-08-29 13:53

I think you can find a story which does not set the aim but affects the game in a way. There can be many features added to the game. Try to be creative. I liked this basic version. You also don't have to go 3D if you don't really use it :)

jukimv1986 2014-08-31 21:53

I couldn't find any new stars, it was not intuitive on how to do so. Good graphics and atmosphere. Good job!
