Well, in the beginning it was confusing but I got the hang of it quickly! Apparently the Mars colony really want my researchers, they wouldn't stop pestering me.

Overall: Good game, confusing but you get used to it.

I like the music and the visuals pretty well, but I found the game a little hard to wrap my head around. There's a lot going on in the UI, and some of it (like the "right away sir" popups) seems unnecessary. That said, it's pretty impressive that you built this in 2 days. This isn't the sort of thing I usually play so maybe that's why I feel like I didn't totally understand it.

You should try to be clearer about the informations (like showing the number of people in each rescearch type) because it's quite hard to know how many guys we had in each of them ^^

BUT
I LOVE HOW THESE GUYS ARE JUMPING EVERYWHERE in the rooms <3

GG to you o/

I didn't see the overall progress moving up at all. Not sure what I'm doing really. I had 2 out of the 3 sciences over 100% though....

Nice to see a non-action based entry as well. Unless I'm missing some shortcuts the game gets a bit tedious after you buy A LOT of scientists. The music matches the scientific mood of the game and is a nice touch!

Also thanks for making game playable in browser!

It's nice but very repetitive... not very fun.

Overall I don't understand the split into three categories, by focusing on only one the game was trivial to beat, with lots of funding to spare. I'm also missing some progress bars that show me how far my research has already gone.

The graphics is neat, and I especially like the depiction of the scientists - reminds me of Portal, somehow...

I really like this game! I especially like watching the little scientists hop around. Although I do think the game could use an extra mechanic or something that would make it a bit more difficult. I got the dark matter ending, which had a pretty dark subject matter (ba dum tshhh). I hope to see this game get expanded on, I really like it! 😄

The was interesting , but then i figured out that astrology is OP and solved the game quickly. The game was very confusing at first, these type games needs some kind of tutorial that explains mechanics and careful balanced, but keeping in mind that his as made in 48 hours i am impresse and it was enjoyable Well done !

OP astrology

Really cool game, and moreover because there is 3 way to terminate the game ! Maybe you could make something that obligate the player to put scientist in the three fields rather than in one only, something like astrologiy needs chemical knowledge, or something like that. Otherwise, the game is cool, and the little men remind me all the little animation of portal and even the little game they made around the universe ^^

Great game ^^ Keep coding ^^
