I felt like I was just changing numbers with little no to impact in the game. I managed to produce resources for a while, and build a couple of things, but then I lost interest. If you had in the bottom a small text that changed with "News from other worlds" that would make it more engaging. It could have sentences that add flavour to the game while giving information. For example informative messages like "New factory open in the Red planet." or more funny ones like "Blue planet invented a new data storage mechanism. They call it the bluray" (this message could appear when blue invests in research.)"},{"author_name":"aDFP","author_uid":"3453","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:37am","epoch":1418117520,"text":"Interesting game, but the complete lack of goals and information at the start is off-putting. Seems like it would be better to start the player off with a single unit and gradually introduce 1-2 units at a time. Still, good job!"},{"author_name":"wer2chosen","author_uid":"43767","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:38am","epoch":1418117580,"text":"I got a failed to download when I tried to access the game :-("},{"author_name":"CustomPhase","author_uid":"20604","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:39am","epoch":1418117640,"text":"This is really not bad.

I added some miners, but then couldn't add more after 3 miners on each resource. There wasn't really anything I could do in the meantime while waiting for my resources to go up, while getting randomly attacked and losing whatever units I had gotten. \r\rThe text is a bit mean, but it is helpful in telling me what to do.\r\rI ended up buying a lot of resources to reduce the time it took to get them before getting everything else.
