Nice idea. Pretty interesting. Gameplay is boring though, execution isn't that great. This could be great if worked on!

I like idea!.Its pretty innovative
I like the idea! First I made it in 13 days, next 8 days. I needed some time to realize that O2 producing needs oxygen. A bit too pale though, and slow, but it is a relaxing game!
Finished the game in 10 days :). Very good idea, never really see any terraforming games out there, so it's a nice idea you went for. The game is quite relaxing though I do agree with the other commenters that it's not very fleshed out, but I did finish it and kill my arm placing down pine trees and murdering them with explosions (extremely satisfying btw), so it did keep me playing. The HTML version is *extremely* bugged by the way. Windows works perfectly fine though.
@call-me-nutty, @matharoo thank you so much for your review. I'm totally aware that the game is more just a prototype of a concept that a polished product with immersing gameplay. There are many great features and tweaks that may be added ;p
I wish you best of luck!
Nice little planet "builder". Even for a prototype look quite polished. A couple minor complains are the very slow speed of the basic plant (need to be a little faster) and the info about plants abilities from help should be either as tooltip on buttons or on the right side of screen.
Interesting idea. Music/sound create kinda serene/meditative mood. It would be nice to be able to rotate/zoom around planet with mouse (MMB-drag to rotate, wheel to zoom). Also it might me more interesting/pleasing to have some landscape (instead of perfect ball).
Hurling asteroids was good fun. ld45_db-073.jpg
good game :D Feat with the theme and conxtructive and the music and sfx are nice. For the future development of the game, maybe fixing the bug of the camera when we are on the top of the planet could be a good thing :) A proposition : change the shape of the planet according the asteroids and according the evolution of the oxygen and temparature. Nice work!
I really enjoyed messing around with this, and your choice of audio made for a nice experience even though it wasn't your own original track. The title cracked me up from the beginning. Nice feedback with the sound effects and camera effect when the asteroid collides with the planet. Really cool game!
I wish we could plant more trees in one click though
relaxing game, nice concept, but I wish there was a little more mechanics. maybe ocean generation or ice cap melting.
