The pirates stole my nuculus at Jump Point 1. I wasn't sure how to defend myself. Then nothing happened so I restarted.
Music is good
I like being able to add to my cloud. I wasn't sure why I couldn't add some add-ons. Later I assume it's the price. The game should pop up something to let me know why I can't do what I wish.
I guess I got a bit frustrated because I wanted to add a turret and I couldn't afford it. So I get attacked by the pirates every time and then nothing happens. I don't know why.
The game looks very well made and even polished but I have no idea how to play.
(I already scored your game last week, but I at least owe you a comment as well.)
First, thanks for the support & fun during the gChat we set up last week. It helped keeping the spirit alive :-)
@PickeledBrain: I got the first pirate to bug-off when I kept blocking their access to my cargo with my eye. That didn't work when two pirates showed up the next jump, but still.
On the one hand, I know what hard work implementing these kind of physics are, but on the other; I spend about ten minutes picking up my first cargo, since at first I couldn't figure out how to control the little jello-monster. Still good on you for even trying this sort of thing & still have some time left over to make some pretty nice art. [ And humorous ... although how much anyone who isn't Dutch will understand of that isn't clear ;-) ]
grt,
Remco.
Go vote mine ! :)

Hope that helps, I'm sure that if you give a strong tutorial after the LD it would make for a great browser game.
