Conquer each solar system by sending your fleets along the paths connecting the planets. But beware, you may not be the only one looking to expand.
HTML5 game. Drag between planets to send fleets. Click planets to shield them (they don't grow while shielded). There are 4 levels.
Waiting longer makes your fleet bigger.

To offer a criticism, I feel like it either takes far too many ships to conquer a planet, or the conditions that make it possible to conquer a planet are a bit unclear.
The dragging seems a bit weird, but other than that i liked the game much.
We're however missing a visual feedback on how close to conquer a planet we are...
I have some points :D
sometimes the drag don't work
I don't know when or why sometimes the planet send more than one ship so some instruction at first may be great
And Good Work :D
how about selecting source with left mouse button and target with right?
And why do the planets take so many ships?
I could get some firing and shields happening, but where's the instructions about them? I haven't worked out *how* I managed to get my planet to fire, it just happened.
And it seems quite tough sometimes to keep hold of a planet.
I kept frantically trying to keep the third planet on the "final test" level, but eventually I chose to give up.
Both enemies have a much shorter path, and are constantly sending their ships over.. Maybe it's possible, but certainly not easy, and coupled with the constant dragging across half the screen, it's just too tedious.
On the upside, the music is quite catchy, and the sounds are fine. The graphics are beautiful, and I especially like the little portraits.
If the gameplay was more enjoyable I'd certainly look forward to seeing what new enemies might come up and what crazy alien looks they have.
VERY nice across the board! Good sound, one of the better uses of the theme that I've seen, and those character portraits were a great touch.
I also liked the graphics. Overall, great job!
