I like the simple puzzle mechanic :)\r<br\/>I do think the compo counter is broken (it should score towards connected planets, not connected in a row?)\r<br\/>Sometimes The planets you need won't show, which is kinda frustrating. Overall, well done :)"},{"author_name":"PERECil","author_uid":"40544","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:20pm","epoch":1408990500,"text":"The combo increments each time you finish a series of trade routes, but is reseted each time you can't finish a route.

Well done!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The mechanics work well and, after some initial panicking, I found the controls to be intuitive. Some very basic SFX for picking up and placing planets would make this even more immersive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And how do people get such high scores? Wow!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>All in all: if I were you I'd polish this and put it on an iPad\/Android store, see how that works :)."},{"author_name":"alvarop","author_uid":"31332","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 2:11am","epoch":1409018760,"text":"I wonder how the top player managed to get that score.

The formula is currently: ( 2 ^ ( planets - 1 ) ) * 10 * score multiplier * combo value. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think the power is a bit too much, and I'll maybe change the formula to ( planets ^ 2 ) instead of ( 2 ^ ( planets - 1 ) ), at the end of judging."},{"author_name":"ChrisGaudino","author_uid":"21246","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 3:31pm","epoch":1409153160,"text":"Fun game, though I always seem to end up with 5 of the same planet."},{"author_name":"Techblogogy","author_uid":"25556","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 3:49pm","epoch":1409154240,"text":"Great job"},{"author_name":"Razoric","author_uid":"27935","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 3:50pm","epoch":1409154300,"text":"Cool little puzzle game."},{"author_name":"goffmog","author_uid":"2011","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 5:46pm","epoch":1409161260,"text":"Sweet!
