Not sure the purpose of the time element because I view this more as a thinking game then a reaction game? other then that, its pretty enjoyable! good mobile game!

This is neat, really nice puzzle concept and actually quite hard to not end up crossing existing lines. Well done!

I agree with TeddyNashor, it would make more sense that the game starts off populated with more worlds and no time limit (or at least a game mode option), then the player will as "what's the most optimal way to connect these?" rather than just reacting to each new planet that spawns.\r\rAlso the way you interact with the UI to connect worlds doesn't feel right, I thought you had to drag-click to connect."},{"author_name":"Aaants","author_uid":"16061","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 10:22am","epoch":1408961820,"text":"Nice job!

But a bit more sign and feedback would be cool, for instance a line from the new node to the mouse would show what you are linking, and if you can link to node. Also i think the timing is too fast."},{"author_name":"veryfinestlions","author_uid":"42067","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:17pm","epoch":1408975920,"text":"I like the timing element, really. Just could do with a little more indication of where the new one is - I think the pressure would be enough even so. Fun, regardless!"},{"author_name":"Cosmologicon","author_uid":"1151","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:32pm","epoch":1408984020,"text":"Creative and simple, I had fun. Good job. I would definitely have liked an indicator of where the new world is.

I think however that the newly spawned worlds should be easier to spot - maybe blink or pulse for a second or two after being created so that the limited time can be spent trying to find a good planet nearby."}],"images":["ld30\/32863-161db861742c1319730fcbc9d4abb412.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dropproxy.com\/f\/90D","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/dropproxy.com\/f\/90D","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"16291","g_author":"32863","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"16320","g_title":"Connect-the-worlds","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"586","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/32863-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Create the largest network of worlds.

Furthermore, connecting lines may not cross other lines but they may cross worlds.\r\n\r\nThe game is written in javascript and uses the html5 canvas. For optimal performance, I would recommend chrome. \r\n\r\nI'm looking forward to your feedback on the game :)\r\n\r\n*edit: Thank you for your feedback, I will be updating a post-compo version.
