Interesting. I'm not sure that I know what I am doing, though. I passed the first level but wasn't able to figure out the second. I'll try again tomorrow after actual sleep!

The UI is a bit confusing but once I figured out what was going on it was pretty enjoyable. I like the somewhat offbeat descriptions and details - like "milk planets"

I like these kind of puzzle games. Got stuck on the third level though!

Finished it! Took me a little while to understand how everything worked, but made a lot of sense once that happened. Nice game! The music fits the mood very well.

Nice. I like puzzle games and this definitely fits the niche. Fun story, challenging puzzles, and a good all around feel. Good job.

I actually really love this! And it seems to be procedurally generated, that is awesome. I love the quirkiness of your mission stories, the agents' interactions and the weird planet names. It is unique and genuine. The gameplay took awhile to get a hang of but it's really quite clever, definitely inspiring me to try for more interesting and challenging gameplay in my next LD. A job well done! Regards from Hellsten's colleague :P

Very nice concept. A little hard on the usability, though the interface is very promising it takes a while to understand what's going on. Impressive for a compo entry, too!

I love the music and the graphics are incredibly pleasing! I don't fully understand the mechanics, but I managed to beat the game by just trying around. I'm personally not a 'game reader', but I really liked the messages, the story and the instructions on the right. Great job!

Very fun, lighthearted, whimsical little game. Even though I got stuck on the third mission (:P), I liked the little story I got and the humor that was packed up in there. The UI and gameplay, albeit very confusing, at least to me, show potential.

What fun is a puzzle game if you don't get stuck or confused? :D Really liked this game concept, had to stop and think to get to the next level.

Great background music too! Great job on this solo entry!

Nice puzzle game, UI needs a little work to recognize the differents among travels, but it feels interesting. Next time, you should use more "standardized" names :D
