A fun game but hard to understand how to get going first and pace of the game is pretty slow, but overall pretty fun and interesting idea

A fun game but hard to understand how to get going first and pace of the game is pretty slow, but overall pretty fun and interesting idea
I feel like there's a lot to explore in terms of additional mechanics with this concept, well done!
Very nice entry to play idle, I had it for a while in a tab and had fun. Fits the theme as well, music was soothing. Great work!!!!!! 👍👏
pretty game! I think the trucks are quite slow, but that's my only issue with it. well done!
Few thoughts. First up, the pacing was kind of a turn off. I get that it's supposed to be slow, but it's so slow that it almost felt unfun at the start. Echoing @thefisherbird's comment on controls here: they feel a bit wonky, and I had to reread the instructions a few times to understand what to do.
It might also be worth noting that there's a limit to how much a planets payout rate can go to, without knowing that it can feel like you're only ever going to lose money past a certain point.
Also, a small bug: You can sell an infinite number of trucks you don't have for free money.
Found myself playing longer than I needed to. I wish there were more planets to ship between and make interesting routes with, then maybe some further progression. Aesthetics hit decently, not bad!
Nice game! It is a bit too easy, there is no challenge in this game. Here you could add some Disasters, like space pirates. However I like the Ambient of the game. Especially the sound track fits very well. The graphics match also perfectly in the game.
And I don't think its too slow, however some more upgrade possibilities would be nice.
you know, I almost didn't play this, but I did. I spent almost 40 minutes playing. I had 8 ships, and over $500,000 dollars.
I just didn't understand why I couldn't get the planets that did not have a direct route. I got it to work a couple of times, but most of the time I just could not get the route to work.
How do I do that?
By the way the graphics were exceptional, the music phenomenal, the game play was very very good
Wow, this game is beautiful! I love the parallax gas clouds, stars, and floating debris. The music fits perfectly. The gameplay took me a few minutes to figure out, but I actually really like how the waypoint queues work. Would love to see you add more to this one after the jam!
Awesome submission. I appreciate that it's meant to take a while so you can just go back to it every now and then, though I think I'd prefer to choose some sort of fast mode or something where I can play more in real time. The balance of losing money as the trucks move with earning income each time a planet is hit seems like it could take a lot of strategy. With more time it would be cool to see that balanced really well.
