Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD30 → Troika - how long will you cooperate?

A nice entry! Very literally: Connected worlds! The concept is good, the interface and controls are super easy and intuitive. The game is also hard as I can barely keep even one planet alive. (Good thing) Nice work!
Very hard to play.
Interesting concept. It was confusing at first.
Interesting and original but confusing for me.
A little bit of a learning curve but I got it in the end. I like that you spend more time worrying about the planet movement than all the asteroids :D Pretty cool idea!
I think it's a good game that I had trouble understanding.
The instructions told me about keys, but I had no idea what the game mechanics are (what my goal is, what every option does in terms of gameplay, where I get energy from etc.)
Next time try to add sound, at the very least sound effects. Recording improvised effects doesn't take too much time, is very fun and will do wonders for a game.
Fun game, but you can still lose planets even if they are fully upgraded.
Interesting but a little confusing, maybe some in-game help texts could help
Interesting idea. Hard to see the effect of the turning until it is too late.
Neat! Once I had the controls figured out, I had a good time trying to keep my planets alive. I'm unsure how population influences my planets. I think a few laser sound effects would top things off nicely, especially as the speed increases.
Interesting !
With a small arrow to point the direction of a planet...that will be a little better ! x) Nice !
I didn't understand at all what I was supposed to do.
I think I understood the controls, but I didn't appear to have much success in keeping the connections alive for long. Some more explanation would be appreciated.
Cannot play: I can pass the menu screen by pressing [ENTER], but after that, nothing reacts to my right-click or any key.
(Windows 8.1/64bit, JRE 8u20)
The point of this game is to survive as long as you can. If yoi will survive for 5 minutes, you can say that you are good :). I suggest you to use tactics from main screen, it helps a lot.
Once you understand it is actually quite slick and clever!
Not bad, could use some better instructions maybe. Good use of the theme.
I couldn't rotate the planets, and the concept of energy was a bit unclear to me - how can you get it in the first place?
It was quite fun to blast hundreds of meteors apart, though =)
The movement controls need more feedback and instruction - it was hard to see that they were having any effect at all, never mind what it might be in advance.
That was interesting!
I'm not 100% sure what happened, but it was nice nonetheless :)
How do I run this thing in Linux command line?
I managed to stay alive with one planet and maximum everything for some time. Moving them together seems hard.
The A and D keys didn't do anything notice'able for me, but it was cool to watch for some time as the planets defend themselves ;)
Linux version does not work!

@Zoomyzoom at the moment it only works on Windows and Linux platform
Stays with the theme nicely and is fun.
Interesting little game, I managed to save two of my planets, it says speed is the key, but i think more lasers first make the difference, lost the first planet and then I realized that maybe the energy level plays a part in the speed of the lasers? Idk I just noticed once the other two planets were fully upgraded the speed was faster as the energy level went up.
Lost a second planet, cause the two planets drifted, is it a wanted behaviour?(So that you have to keep all three alive?)
I find it quite enjoyable :D
Well done!
Needs more instructions, as you basically have no idea what to do when you start. Also, sounds.
But it's a very interesting concept and it's quite playable when you figure out what you're doing.
nice game, had quite some fun. And the idea is interesting
Linux version does not work. Same error as for Zoomyzoom.
Nice game but confusing
It will benefit from a tutorial. A bit confusing at first try
Fun game, was hard to keep anything alive but all part of the charm. SFX would be awesome.
Difficult game, but fun once you figure it out. Fun with upgrades and limited energy so you have to prioritize their order :)
