Wasn't sure how to win exactly. Iron collection felt really slow which I didn't enjoy. I think its a pretty solid start and a bit more polish it would look awesome! Better than a lot of the other games on here considering it was you're third idea? I presume you started a bit late. I was a little confused at the start about how to launch my ships to other planets, I think changing "Launch" to something like "Navigate to" maybe.
@slooowpoke Thanks for the suggestion. Its not really ment to have a win state as it's more of a sandbox type game. I plan on having AI enemies and you have abilities while your ship is flying that you can activate to keep your self alive. Then have some sort of an economy on each planet would also be a nice touch.
Sweet, you went for pretty much the same concept I had :) I didn't get to implementing resources at all, but I think there's great potential in something like this
@bakwards Thanks :D
It's a great start, but I had troubles to find the first planet... Maybe indicate where they are to find them more easily
couldn't really travel anywhere, was stuck on the first planet
Cool idea, I like. For some reason it felt fun just to visit the random planets. Would be cool if you added in some rare things to find. There should be more resource management games where the main objective is not just kill some other faction. Good job, you should keep working on it!
An interesting entry, but not very fun.
Interesting idea, could be a great full game
Hi there. Good job on finishing one of your ideas, I for you with that frustration part-way through...deciding whether to change direction. Your game looks like a good basis to move forwards, a fleet of small ships would be nice!
Kept smashing into planets because explosions are fun..!
Nice concept, good luck with further development..!
"I think changing "Launch" to something like "Navigate to"" - adding it to description would be helpful, I just spend 5 minutes trying to lunch rocket from my planet and manipulate mouse somehow.. and still seeing like it's going back to my planet..
After that, nice concept!
@Xeke_Death Pretty sure I spent about 3 hours myself smashing into planets :D
