Yes, this game really needs that graphical effect of the earth rotating !\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But I liked the originality of the gameplay mechanics, and above all it works flawlessly !\r<br\/>Somehow I have the feeling this game is complete, even if there is a lot of real-time feedback missing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I don't get how this ended up in &quot;least ratings&quot; category.

It was hard to form a strategy for organizing the sticky aliens because too many landed at once so it usually seemed like a game of random chance. With some more tweaking, I could see this becoming a very addictive game."},{"author_name":"mike1101","author_uid":"50191","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 8:58pm","epoch":1429822380,"text":"Totally unique ! Never played a game with this mechanic ...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Constructive criticism ? I don't know ... It felt kind of clunky. (I seem to be saying that a lot). But it's true - A lot of games loose out and feel unprofessional because they don't SNAP. You know, if there was like a exponential curve of approach, so as the balls came closer they almost got sucked in and very suddenly struck ... And there was some kind of visceral effect - Sound would be great. Something satisfying. And that you wouldn't mind hearing a hundred times ... Then you would have a game (at least a casual game) on your hands ...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Same with the earth rotation - It needs to move in a cool way. Something that would make it into a hackers movie. There is a term for this - for the kind of movement that ... goes on a curve ... but I can't think of it. So when you move the planet it doesn't just respond to the arc of rotation - instead it uses that arc to ramp up the movement (I think that's the word - RAMP) to a high speed and then ramp back down ... THAT will look cool !"},{"author_name":"psychonull","author_uid":"31386","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 8:59pm","epoch":1429822440,"text":"I liked the graphics, controls felt smooth.

But it is hard, or I suck at playing it :D Nice gameplay, I lost the game as soon as a new color appeared. By rotating permanently, you can try by luck and sometimes it even works! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great game!"},{"author_name":"Somnium","author_uid":"50228","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 3:33pm","epoch":1430062080,"text":"Interesting concept!
