There are 2 different stages to play in, and you switch if you get big enough in the first. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>We didn't get too far, but you can create (atm 2) different planets based on the ratio of elements you collect in the first stage.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It takes a few too many orbs to get between stages, sorry, but if you grow enough in stage two the camera will zoom out to see the whole system.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for playing!"},{"author_name":"Qaterknan","author_uid":"11181","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 1:20pm","epoch":1335273300,"text":"It was a bit hard to figure out what am I supposed to do but when I got it, it was actually pretty entertaining!
