It looks really intriguing. But unfortunatley I don't have any VR. I have sent the link to friends which are equiped with it. I am curious to see what they'll think of it...

This is pretty neat. I did play it with an Oculus Rift + Touch and can confirm that it works alright if you have room-scale set up (which I do). I had a bit of a problem selecting build options, but I'm fairly certain that is the Rift's Touch controller's fault and not a problem with the game. I can see how using the Vive would have been the superior choice.
The game is intriguing. It took me a while to figure out how to generate energy (that was mostly because I had trouble selecting the Solar Generators from the build menu). I absolutely adore the idea of true 3D space strategy games in VR and while this could use a little more depth it's a solid jam entry.
The graphics are great, the music is incredibly moody and the general gameplay idea is elegant.

Everything got a bit chaotic towards the end, but apparently I won. :grinning:
One thing that needs fixing is the 3D text. It is not occluded by the geometry, which is very distracting. I think you might want to change the shader there.
Overall, good job and a big plus for daring to go VR too! :thumbsup:

*On a selfish note*: As you seem to have access to a VR headset (*and a room-scale setup*), I would love if you could try our own VR game [**Rattletrap VR**](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/rattletrap-vr) and let us know what you think. Cheers! :thumbsup:
