Being able to move in multiple directions would be a start, or being able to move in a different direction than you're facing. A more interesting AI would also help, and maybe more variety- maybe give the planets gravity, and taking over a planet gives you more resources? Just some ideas, but the fact that I played it and thought &quot;now what if this game had this in it?&quot; is a good sign that you're on the right track!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>By the way, if you want a better host than mediafire (with its awful spam advertisements and popups), you might check out the free Java hosting I offer at http:\/\/StaticVoidGames.com.
