Iron collection felt really slow which I didn't enjoy. I think its a pretty solid start and a bit more polish it would look awesome! Better than a lot of the other games on here considering it was you're third idea? I presume you started a bit late. I was a little confused at the start about how to launch my ships to other planets, I think changing "Launch" to something like "Navigate to" maybe."},{"author_name":"TeamOnBack","author_uid":"35024","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:45pm","epoch":1408977600,"text":"@slooowpoke Thanks for the suggestion. Its not really ment to have a win state as it's more of a sandbox type game. I plan on having AI enemies and you have abilities while your ship is flying that you can activate to keep your self alive. Then have some sort of an economy on each planet would also be a nice touch."},{"author_name":"bakwards","author_uid":"39669","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:50pm","epoch":1408977900,"text":"Sweet, you went for pretty much the same concept I had :) I didn't get to implementing resources at all, but I think there's great potential in something like this"},{"author_name":"TeamOnBack","author_uid":"35024","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:01pm","epoch":1408978560,"text":"@bakwards Thanks :D"},{"author_name":"MrSylar59","author_uid":"38521","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1408980120,"text":"It's a great start, but I had troubles to find the first planet...

For some reason it felt fun just to visit the random planets. Would be cool if you added in some rare things to find. There should be more resource management games where the main objective is not just kill some other faction. Good job, you should keep working on it!"},{"author_name":"AlexanderTeaH","author_uid":"41560","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:25pm","epoch":1408983600,"text":"An interesting entry, but not very fun."},{"author_name":"tillrobby","author_uid":"38964","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:29pm","epoch":1408983840,"text":"Interesting idea, could be a great full game"},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:28pm","epoch":1408987380,"text":"Hi there.
