I felt it was a little difficult to control and could have been made easier by eliminating the back button to stop, and instead having to hold and release the forward button, for moving and stopping respectively.

The beam being recharged by moving around is a nice idea. I liked how you incorporated the theme into your game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My only critique would be that it should be more clear how the terraforming beam works. It wasn't until I read the comments that I was able to figure out that it needed to be recharged by moving."},{"author_name":"loxo","author_uid":"23206","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 8:18pm","epoch":1450296780,"text":"I like the idea, nice start!

It's a cool idea, and I think it has real potential, but I found it just became a grind after a while. I would enter a level, spend 30 seconds sniping turrets I couldn't see (not that fighting them up close is satisfying - it would be were it not for this game's unfortunate paucity of explosions), then spin in circles for a while trying to pin down planets with my mouse, then spend the money on more dakka. Seriously, the laser upgrade was the only one I found appealing. Drive-by terraforming means you never need to came about battery capacity, and I never felt a need to go faster. I think this would have been better with mechanics that forced you to deal with the planets and enemies at the same time instead of focusing on the enemies and then farming planets for a while."},{"author_name":"VersatileBox","author_uid":"54812","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 7:49pm","epoch":1450381440,"text":"Great game!
