I couldn't get more than three planets connected, though. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but at times I would collide with the planet I just left and return on it. At one time I got a bit stuck this way. :p"},{"author_name":"Joshua_S","author_uid":"26085","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:30am","epoch":1408944300,"text":"It took a few tries to get it, but once I did the game was enjoyable. Would be helpful if a planet always spawned close and the one your at in the map was highlighted better. Great work though fun and love the concept."},{"author_name":"elliottd","author_uid":"27074","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:33am","epoch":1408944480,"text":"This was a little confusing to start but after a bit, i understood how I was supposed to play and it was pretty fun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I feel like i was fumbling the launches right until i stopped playing. I couldn't easily find myself on the map. Buying rope to get to another planet is very basic. I like saving fuel with good throws, but extra fuel doesn't seem to save you very reliably when you miss a planet. Planning out a route is pretty interesting though.\r<br\/>Could do with more clarity on how to play, or better, an easy starting level to get you familiar with the mechanics.\r<br\/>Good work"},{"author_name":"varun","author_uid":"1675","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:34am","epoch":1408944540,"text":"Cool swinging mechanic - found it quite challenging."},{"author_name":"micahcowan","author_uid":"38013","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:56am","epoch":1408945860,"text":"Fun, and definitely thematic.

Not going to rate this because I can't figure out whether there is an issue or if it is me.  Every time I hit the space bar I don't get something consistent enough to actually be able to tell if I am doing it right of if there is an issue with the game.

Use this version if you are unsure or have problems with the 64 bit version\r\n\r\nUPDATED: the windows download should work now.. forgot to include the .dll files :\/ my bad, i'm sorry!\r\n\r\nYou are one of yocast!s employee and your job is to connect all worlds in the universe! Visit different planets and connect them.\r\n\r\nPay attention to the length of your line. You can buy supplies at each planet.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nUp - Accelerate\r\nLeft,Right - Turn rocket\r\nSpace - (at planet) let go from planet\r\n\r\nEsc - Quit\r\n\r\nShort how to play:\r\n\r\n- press m when circulating a planet to toggle the map and find your ship\r\n- find a planet you want to fly to next, and buy enough \"line\" (press l) to get to that planet. overbuying by 200-300 is a good idea\r\n- also buy some fuel to get away from your planet and to navigate to other planets\r\n- after you have some money, upgrade your booster (higher acceleration, same fuel consumption)\r\n- every new connection gives you money\r\n- game is over, when you exceed the length of your line (watch the \"line length\" field, to see how much is left)\r\n- the game isn't always fair. Sometimes you won't even get to any planet from your starting planet. I guess that's just how it is..
