To bad there is no sound. A bit short as well unless i've missed something. Can you upgrade everything to level 10 after the first mission?"},{"author_name":"geckojsc","author_uid":"5246","time":"Aug 22, 2011 @ 9:44pm","epoch":1314049140,"text":"Nice concept! You have to get insanely close to those planets to keep your money up.\r<br\/>The uppermost item on every menu is missing for some reason (maybe it's just me?), but the game was still perfectly playable. :]"},{"author_name":"Darkcoder","author_uid":"5470","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 5:39am","epoch":1314077640,"text":"The concept is certainly interesting, but some things don't make sense; like why do I have to pay for engines and brakes again? Surely I should only have to pay for fuel and upgrades? With some tweaking it could be way more fun."},{"author_name":"Andrew","author_uid":"5432","time":"Aug 25, 2011 @ 8:46am","epoch":1314261660,"text":"When I saw the screenshots and read the title I panicked a bit thinking we had the same thing going.

Simple, and even graphics are cute. Not sure how exactly upgrade works and why I even get money for flying close to planets\/stars. Also lol @ &quot;There's no sound in space... :)&quot;"},{"author_name":"Deraj","author_uid":"4936","time":"Sep 2, 2011 @ 4:47am","epoch":1314938520,"text":"Very interesting. One of my original ideas for this contest was tentatively called &quot;Escape from Earth&quot; and was somewhat similar to this :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Flying around the planets was pretty fun, but I thought it was a little confusing how you're supposed to &quot;end&quot; your missions (having ESC say &quot;Mission accomplished!&quot; was the most confusing). Great idea, though!"},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Sep 3, 2011 @ 11:14pm","epoch":1315091340,"text":"Nice concept."},{"author_name":"vitae","author_uid":"1653","time":"Sep 4, 2011 @ 2:15am","epoch":1315102200,"text":"Annoying how running out of juice leaves you going straight with no option but to hit 'ESC'.

The closer you get the more detailed info you can get, which means more money! When you can't get more, press escape or crash.\r\n\r\nTerraforming: Slam your spaceship(you included) into the planet marked with a white rectangle.
