The graphics and the music are of very high quality. The game is sufficiently complex to make it interesting, however there is a learning curve, it took me several minutes to figure it out enough to start playing. There are some good humorous parts in the game, the description of the UNS Guugle: &quot;A space ship that collect its passengers personal information but UNS says it is there to improve passenger experience&quot; is a clever jab at Google and Facebook. The game does seem buggy, I had the game crash twice while creating a new route between planets."},{"author_name":"jackyjjc","author_uid":"21428","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 8:31am","epoch":1408955160,"text":"Hi @DeathPidgeon, thanks for playing my game :) I will play yours later.

The learning curve is a bit steep and it's not very clear where the routes yield the best returns (and at which prices), but that's probably also because I didn't have that much time to play the game. I hope you develop this further, there's a lot of potential!"},{"author_name":"2HitMatt","author_uid":"39865","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 3:51am","epoch":1409197560,"text":"I started earning negative dollars and didn't know how to reverse it haha.

A bit too complicated and numbers-heavy - it took a long time to get into it. I played for about an hour and got 14 routes and &pound;300,000 but I couldn't get enough passengers so I dropped all my prices a bit and then I was just haemorrhaging money and eventually lost it all. I never did understand how all the different stats and numbers relate or how to 'game' those figures, it felt more like I was just clicking on stuff blindly. I think some colours, graphs or other visual cues would really help a lot for learning how to play and where the demand for travel is. Good game overall though and good fit for the theme."},{"author_name":"jprogman","author_uid":"15225","time":"Sep 11, 2014 @ 3:02am","epoch":1410404220,"text":"I gave this game about 10 minutes of play.
