That's a pretty fun strategy game
This was a really slick, smooth strategy game. I love minimalist games so this was really good. It was quite fun but got repetitive after a while, good job though!
It is a bit grindy at the start but when you get into it, it is fun. It would make a great app
Extremely polished little game, I enjoyed it - great sound and graphics. Quite slow but that works as a contemplative piece. It does get a bit repetitive though, and I messed up my first probe launch like an idiot.
Did not got the point of what to do.
I kept killing my population after adding anyone other than a farmer. But... +1 for Dune. There should be a way to mine spice.
Simple graphics, minimalistic but its fun to play
The game was fun in the beginning but it quickly became really repetitive. The audio and the graphics were great but again, the game got really repetitive which ruined the fun.
I sometimes don't get why certain things happen, for example: I have lots of farms producing 2 Food per second, than I buy a Miner and the production suddenly drops... But there is still no production of stone, or do I need a quarry for that? A little bit more explanation would be nice, cause I would love to play this more.
I love clicker games, nice! I would suggest adding some more polish for the feedback of clicking. These games get super addictive when you integrate visual feedback. Overall, nice concept! The idea could probably be translated into some kind of a mobile app too. :)
First the background music is very good and overall the game looks polished.
However, the goal and interface aren't so clear though. For instance, I was confused since I thought button colours have meaning.
Moreover I still have no clue what scientists are for other than gobbling the food supply.
Really time-consuming game ;) I love that ! And it's simply beautiful.
This is a really fun game if a little repetitive. I like the simplistic graphic style and music but I think you could have explained what each thing does at the start, overall a great game
Very interesting game, I love the concept. But the implementation needs to improve a bunch.
First, too many ads. I already think That ads in a LD game is in bad taste, but your game had full screen ads ALL the time.
There is also a small bug where you cannot buy something if you have exactly the right number of resources.
Thanks Everyone, I Will try to make a post compo version with more content, and more explanations.
@Caranha You are totaly right, i changed that sorry
So many probes lost in space... I wish there is something to show the time spent by the farmers/quarrymen/etc. to conquer the complete planetary system: centuries?... some years? (a calendar with random names could be cool).
Anyway, I enjoyed this game: great minimalist atmosphere (nice audio), but it becomes a bit repetitive (perhaps adding random accidents could solve this: asteroids? moons crushing the probes?...)
Quite addictive game, nice idea, but.. Ads? It's not suitable on LD, I guess.
No ads ;) Doritos = Bouritos & Fox news = Xof News ;)
(Sorry, wrong game for the last comments, ahah ! My bad !)
