Some decent levels. The gameplay has potential, but some small things felt off, like the fact that you moved really fast towards planets that were close to you. Although it's more realistic this way, it was just very surprising, and often led to frustrating deaths.\r\rAlso, the "You died" was there for far too long. I like hard games, but I need quick restarts in order to enjoy them.\r\rThe stop function could have been on the spacebar or right click instead of having to click the planet you were going towards, since the mouse would often be hovering above some other planet.\r\rBut pretty nice atmosphere, cool basic idea, really neat interface design."},{"author_name":"arazim6","author_uid":"39958","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 9:33am","epoch":1409131680,"text":"pretty fun :)"},{"author_name":"MSaul","author_uid":"35115","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 9:36am","epoch":1409131860,"text":"Nice game !"},{"author_name":"louis.denizet","author_uid":"29406","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 9:39am","epoch":1409132040,"text":"@ZeppelinCaptain : Hello and thanks for your comment ;)\r\rI'm sorry about the death, the game is currently not optimized and use a lot of PC performance, on my PC is nearly instant but I know it can be a bit slow on some others, sorry about that =)\r\rAbout the surprise of gravity, you can manage to nearly never be that close of planets, it was really intentional and part of the gameplay ^^\r\rFinally for the space\/right clic to stop I thought about it and I don't want it because it breaks the gameplay, in my opinion the fact we can stop isn't a good feature, it breaks the sensation of floating, I let it there because it's easier for a lot of people but when I play I try to never stop to don't break the movement :p\r\rThanks a lot for playing and for feedbacks =)"},{"author_name":"43iscoding","author_uid":"35110","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 9:43am","epoch":1409132280,"text":"I really love the graphics style here!
