It was also pretty fun once I figured out what I was supposed to be doing.\n\n## Suggestions\n\nIt is a little hard to understand at first. More feedback from the button presses along with a more interactive tutorial would solve that.\n\nThis game seems like it would be fun to play on mobile.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Raziyya","author_uid":"1050442","time":"2017-12-04T18:10:23Z","epoch":1512411023,"modified":1512411023,"text":"I really like the idea of balancing resources, as what would normally be considered 'the game' plays out on its own.

The idea is pretty innovative, as far as I can tell, and, given the time constraints of the jam, I'd say you've managed to deliver on it pretty well.\n\nThe indications on the UI were not entirely clear to me at the beginning, like what is \"P:-25 F:15\". Now I understand those are the price and the amount of fuel per purchase. Also I would definitely make the ammo, fuel and other status indicators on the right sidebar stand out a bit more. They don't come across visually right off the bat as the key piece of information for a player to keep an eye on.\n\nBut I think these small problems can be fixed easily in future development. So good job and good luck with your game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Priom","author_uid":"1057759","time":"2017-12-07T09:21:56Z","epoch":1512638516,"modified":1512638516,"text":"Gee, thank you all for all the insightful comments and ratings.

It's an interesting concept letting the ship do it's thing while you just manage it's resources. I'm not entirely sold on it, but I think it could be made fun with some tweaking.
