While it took some time to get to the basic strategy involved i can see this getting pretty deep - as even when playing only against myself I got to an stalemate which i then broke again. pretty interesting game - although i'm not convinced either side can ever win. hiding your units on the backside of planets is just to effective. I like the minimalistic appearance too. Solid entry + nice physics. :)"},{"author_name":"guimonpa","author_uid":"35500","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 4:33pm","epoch":1409156880,"text":"It looks interesting from what I've seen playing by myself, I'll try to play it with a friend!"},{"author_name":"ViliX","author_uid":"29167","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 10:52am","epoch":1409222820,"text":"The simple graphics perfectly fits :)"},{"author_name":"Vinyl Pixels","author_uid":"34483","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 11:48am","epoch":1409226180,"text":"Nice, it's a pitty there's no AI."},{"author_name":"juaxix","author_uid":"10960","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 4:27pm","epoch":1409242920,"text":"I replied in my entry ,thanks for commenting.\r<br\/>I was playing your game,add online to it to increase fun factor!"},{"author_name":"MechanicMoon","author_uid":"40539","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 6:03pm","epoch":1409248680,"text":"Really nice concept!
