Intergalacticnet by divillysausages
You're the latest chump hired to fly through the galaxy connecting up the very first inter-galactic internet! Soon every planet will be connected in glorious 56kbps.
Use the mouse to control your ship and SPACE when requested.
Each planet you pass has a connecting ring, designed to hold the (invisible) cable you're towing. Like a bleeding fast, space travelling needle, thread your cable through the connecting ring to make the connection.
Don't miss too many though, and your robot overloads tend to frown upon that. They're so smart that they can frown upon each one of your atoms and they rapidly separate from your body in a distressingly short period of time.
Obviously don't crash into the planets either; you're here to connect them to the internet, not kill billions in an extinction-level crash. Your company doesn't have insurance for that.

Good fun, interesting choice of colour, and I love the idea of massive hoops being built on planets, to then fly a spaceship at near lightspeed through them while threading an ethernet cable...
Nice speed effect.
Great work!
The difficulty of control offers challenge, but the experience is a bit repetitive though. (different planets, or patterns in their appearance would make it more captivating!)
Nice atmosphere (graphs, dialogues etc..), well done
Good job :)
