Very cool!
Graphics are very nice for something made entirely of spheres - nice sense of depth.
The music is very suitable - how'd you make it?
I like that you've turned a classic NP-Complete problem (Wandering Salesman problem) into a game :P

I love the music and the art style.

This game is amazing! Very cool concept, great 3D space, extremely fitting music, everything is great except it's a little hard to follow. Great game overall.

I must say, the picture doesn't look all that cool but in game it really cool turning around to pick the planets.
I have to say, the difficulty is quite unbalanced, It starts off really hard and it easy to get yourself out of energy but later it become quite easy.

Music is awesome! I find it was a bit hard for me too, but cool idea!

Little bit of a learning curve, but it is fun!

The game itself is hard to manage, because it's hard to see an easy strategy for newbie like at those games.

But your GUI, and look are awesome, i was fan of the look when you turn around your planet but when you start to game it makes the choose of the good path really hard :
- use same size planet to make clear the distance from us
- use depth of field, or any equivalent (spatial fog, etc..) to give to the player a clear sense of the distance.

If it's your first time in javascript, your next game will be amazing, because this one is cool (even if i can't really judge the difficulty) : simple idea, great look, the song is really deep, and the mouse control, and the GUI are really brillant (exception for the rules, who are badly shown ;).

Great combo of theme, audio, and mood.

I really liked the atmosphere you created. The music is lovely and matches the game perfectly. Extra kudos for having it made in javascript :D

I don't think I figured out quite how to play it: I'd connect the worlds and hit "Generate Path", but it didn't seem like anything would happen after that point, and my energy would keep dropping (running Firefox).

Music is very nice. Took me a while to discover I could also click and drag to rotate the view.

This was really cool. I wasn't very good, but just drawing paths and rotating around was neat.

Well I could selectp lanet and build path but it seems there's no effect on ressources. energy is still droping
