Loved the pixel look and the chiptune sound. The dragging is awkward mainly because no visual feedback until drag completed - in my opinion.

Perhaps drag is broken on mac touchpads?\r\rI 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."},{"author_name":"Steve","author_uid":"26369","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 7:47am","epoch":1409038920,"text":"Constantly dragging is quite a pain, even more so with a lack of visual feedback. How about only dragging from a planet out to a part of the track you want to send ships along?\r\rAnd it seems quite tough sometimes to keep hold of a planet.\rI kept frantically trying to keep the third planet on the "final test" level, but eventually I chose to give up.\r\rBoth 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.\r\rOn the upside, the music is quite catchy, and the sounds are fine. The graphics are beautiful, and I especially like the little portraits.\rIf 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."},{"author_name":"SketchyGalore","author_uid":"30014","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 11:53am","epoch":1409053680,"text":"You left a comment on my game so I had to check yours :)\rVERY nice across the board!

At first, I thought the timing of the drags didn't matter. Then I realized, that the power builds up. Much later did I notice, that you can protect your planet by clicking on it. Otherwise I couldn't win at all. The game is super polished as well. That's clearly the best game I've seen, as for now. More levels and maybe some more specials and I'd pay for it."},{"author_name":"Frump","author_uid":"35460","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 2:08am","epoch":1409104980,"text":"Really cool and clever game.

The last level really brings it out. However, I didn't beat it because it was quite cumbersome to play with a trackpad. I would have changed it so that you don't need to drag all the way to the destination planet, only drag in that direction. Unless you intended the dragging accuracy to be part of the difficulty, but I don't find it very entertaining.\rI also liked the graphics. Overall, great job!"},{"author_name":"Kate Kligman","author_uid":"27059","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 3:44am","epoch":1409283540,"text":"Loved the music."},{"author_name":"AdamHarte","author_uid":"4760","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 6:50am","epoch":1409467500,"text":"I like the concept and the graphics.
