Let's play. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Numbers by the planets had no meaning (that I could tell) hacked a few planets, figured out the red shield was probably the firewall, would get the win screen immediately followed by the fail screen almost every time.

It feels like I should be able to counteract a hack, but I can't figure it out. It'd be nice to have a retry button when at the fail screen. There certainly seems to be a bug on the second level. I can hack up to the win-state planet and successfully hack it, but the previous planet's detection completes afterwards, causing the game state to change to failed.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nitpicks:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- This could use some music.\r<br\/>- I need a restart button. Sucks to have to reload the game and lose my progress.\r<br\/>- It's hard to see when a hack will be detected, and it seems completely deterministic. i.e., there's only one way to win a level. This really needs some variability."},{"author_name":"mess110","author_uid":"12300","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 4:20pm","epoch":1409069700,"text":"Error: src\/SolarSystem.lua:35: attempt to index field 'math' (a nil value)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did sudo apt-get install love to run it. anything else I need to do?"},{"author_name":"MyougaHiroshi","author_uid":"39068","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 4:56pm","epoch":1409071860,"text":"nice game, the 3rd level was pretty hard as ididn't know that i can continue after being detected, but cool game"},{"author_name":"n42k","author_uid":"19349","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 6:35pm","epoch":1409077800,"text":"Was easy to understand from the start, the sound made everything better and made the not-so-good camera controls bearable, as I could hear what was going on.
