Interesting, seems like this concept would work pretty well as a mobile/tablet game.

Nice trading game.

Congrats for your first LD! HTML5 version worked fine in Chrome (Ubuntu), but in Firefox had some weird color in the planet stats board.

I like the idea an interface. It would be cool to be able to click on a thought-bubble to send a ship with that resource.
I found it strange to be sending out gold when that's the currency I'm earning.

tigerbyte 2014-08-25 12:09

Oh! You're not just earning gold. Whenever you trade, you don't always get gold. You get whatever the planet produces. Sorry, I should make that more clear.

In the end screen you get scored for resources, not just gold. It's important to keep all of them as high as possible.

This is fun little rts. I like how you can try to preempt issues by sending things before they are needed.

I really like it! There are lots of trading games in the competiton, but this one is one of my favourites so far.

Really nice job on your very first LD! I like the concept (of course). Nice use of the theme.

Nice job! I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/LbmZDYffwi8

One of the few games with a trading system in it, I like it.

I like the idea, interesting twist on a classic concept. Seems tailor made for mobile gaming.

when Tapper meets Sins of A Solar Empire...it is a little difficult to know what any planet needs until they ask for it, and by then it seems like it's too little too late to keep them happy.

zyxer 2014-08-27 02:25

That was quite stressful! :P

Well done for you first Ludum Dare! This is a hard, but also fun game!

Congrats on your first LD! I think there are a lot of little polishy things you could do to clean up this game but one thing I struggled with was knowing overall if I was doing well or doing poorly. Once I got a lot of speech balloons demanding stuff I couldn't figure out if it was because I was doing something wrong or if that's just the expected game state. Having the planets orbit might be a fun way of messing with people trying to keep track of which planets needed what. Nice job!

very addicting management game. simple but solid first entry

ramoncb 2014-08-28 00:56

my god, those people eat too much ! xD

very solid entry, for you first LD (and even for the compo) the game already has a nicely complex concept! congratulations! =)

and sorry my bad english ^^'

Gosh, these planets are so needy!
