It feels very good to move around and is satisfying when you succeed in completing a planet. The difficulty scales nicely and the interactions between all the different objects in the game adds a nice layer to the gameplay."},{"author_name":"eott","author_uid":"40748","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:31pm","epoch":1408991160,"text":"I didn't know how much fun it is to carefully put together shards before I played this game.

Great degree of polish in having both gamepad and PC controls supported, although I didn't have a controller handy to test. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I felt the need to collect those small pellets after putting a planet together wasn't a necessary mechanic, I'd rather focus on putting some more planets together :-)"},{"author_name":"AdventureIslands","author_uid":"11391","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 7:57pm","epoch":1408996320,"text":"This is well done game and good job with supporting so many controls.

I looks like they might be color-coded, and I'm colorblind, so that may have been the problem. Either way, neat concept.

Looked really good too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some things I didn't like:\r<br\/>- No sounds to add to the atmosphere (well, it is set in space after all :D)\r<br\/>- I couldn't use the menus with my controller, so I thought the game didn't regocnize it. Good thing I still tried it during the game though.\r<br\/>- All of the planets are the same. This is understandable given the time limit though, good job making it work as it is!\r<br\/>- Colors were pretty hard to differentiate from time to time.\r<br\/>- Destroying the enemies was quite hard (maybe a repelling mode for the magnet could've been cool!).\r<br\/>- Collecting the bits and pieces of planets felt somewhat tagged on.\r<br\/>- This is also a good thing (makes the game playable I guess): Only the ship and the pieces connected to it seemed to have inertia, when I let go they stopped almost(?) instantly.\r<br\/>- The game was somewhat slow paced\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Despite these &quot;complaints&quot; I did find it intriguing, good job!
