Hey, I just played your game. That was fun, I liked it :D * It lacks a bit of music * I didn't perfectly understood the role of each station at first, maybe learning on the way could have been more efficient :)
I have not more to say, it's a real game and funny ! Oh also, I broke the game once, evacuating at the very last moment, going next turn was free so I clicked until turn 1107 haha See ? vivaldi_2017-07-31_14-02-42.png
Had fun thanks !
I really liked this, it was challenging (engaged the brain) and forced some planning in order to be efficient. Great intro tutorial!
@vegevan Happy you liked it :) Yeah music was on my todo list till the very end... What's going on with the infite game is that it recognizes that you have a power station that could actually give you power, but doesn't manage to tell you about this.
@corporatedinc Glad you liked it :) I was actually aiming for the tutorial to be animated, but you know... time.
Very nice take on the theme, and an original game idea! Clean ui and gameplay, a little complex (especially trying to read and understand all the tutorial without playing) but was able to pick it up during the game without too much hassle. Nice job!
Very interesting mechanics. It took me a few runs to get the hang of it, but the help/tutorial was very helpful. I ended up spending forever on my turns because there were so many possible moves to make at once (in a good way.)

Very cool - I love the turn-based games rather than yet another shooter or platformer. Very clever and complex system with just a few parts and rules. Very fun puzzle. Nice looking, with a great interface design too. Some better sounds would be more immersive. Nice work!

Nice minimal game, I didn't not read the instructions on my first playthrought and realized I better read them, after that the game became fun :)
Cool game. I liked that it was difficult enough to be challenging, but still easy enough to win (or at least I think I won. I evacuated, so yeah). The one suggestion I have would be to direct to the help page by default because the first time I played it without reading the instructions and all the symbols were not too self-explanatory by default.
Also, I am not sure if it is always like this, but for all of the times I played, my base was in the center, so if that was by design, it was a good choice.
Took a few goes but got there in the end with it and it was a nice little strategic game. Felt like missing music wasn't that big of an issue considering the sort of desolate space atmosphere you were going for.
Refreshing to play a turn-based entry. Took a while to get the mechanics but once it clicked it was a cool little puzzler. I really like minimalist graphical style.
A clever concept well-executed. Nice work. My biggest criticism is that it really needed more detailed instructions on how to play, even just here on the page.

I enjoyed this entry! It would be interesting to see how you would expand upon the idea to make it a more complete game with varied puzzles as the game progresses, but as a standalone puzzle it is pretty solid!
At this point I'm not sure if the fuel mechanics need to be balanced considering it can take so much energy to move fuel that it's not worth it or if level layout needs to be tweaked to make it more feasible.
It could definitely use a bit more instruction but it makes sense after a game or two. Good entry!
The game play really stands out among other entries I have seen. I feel like this was a really cool way to implement the theme. It is a little confusing though, still not sure I completely understand it. But it was ultimately a lot of fun. I think I spent the most time playing this out of all games so far. The minimalist artwork felt like an appropriate style choice too!

The game is awesome, but learning curve seems to be too steep.
Anyway, very nice, outstanding entry!

I like the game idea a lot, I have never seen anything like it before. It is hard and I lost multiple time but I'll try again later. The visuals are simple but very effective. Overall, I truly enjoyed this game.
