The buttons were off relative to where their text was. I ended up having to click above the where the text for the buttons where to register the click.\r<br\/>2.Im not sure I understand the controls. It seems to be that you use left and right arrow keys to turn, but also move forward? The gameplay itself was fine, although I wasn't able to do much just because of how frustrating it was to move around.\r<br\/>3. The music stopped looping for me after a bit.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway for what its worth the game looks good and judging by your screenshots it gets intersting later on. That coupled with the music makes a good game provided that you can fix some of the small problems."},{"author_name":"Gemberkoekje","author_uid":"5952","time":"Dec 23, 2015 @ 2:03pm","epoch":1450879080,"text":"I liked it, though it was a little slow paced and a little confusing what I had to do."},{"author_name":"Pepejson","author_uid":"51366","time":"Dec 23, 2015 @ 5:55pm","epoch":1450893000,"text":"Intresting concept but game is a bit too slow"},{"author_name":"Hot Box Games","author_uid":"39707","time":"Dec 23, 2015 @ 6:42pm","epoch":1450895820,"text":"A good looking game with a nice concept but I did feel it could benefit from faster pacing."},{"author_name":"themadknights","author_uid":"64533","time":"Dec 29, 2015 @ 7:13pm","epoch":1451416080,"text":"The idea is interesting but I think it's very confusing and a bit slow."},{"author_name":"BMacIntosh","author_uid":"15030","time":"Dec 30, 2015 @ 5:55am","epoch":1451454600,"text":"The controls were interesting.

The new colonies were seldom self-sustaining, which offered a unique opportunity for business-minded explorers like yourself.\r\n\r\nIn this game you grow colonies and control the whole game using only two buttons!\r\n\r\n\r\n__Tips__\r\n\r\nThe intro, trade and upgrade dialogs can be controled using the right and left buttons (<- left option, -> right option, <- + -> middle option).\r\n\r\nThe main menu can be toggled with the button in the top right corner.\r\n\r\nUpdates and story will be delivered in the lower right corner.\r\n\r\nTo \"complete\" the game use the warp gates a couple of times and grow a colony to size 6.\r\n\r\nIn the menu there is an option to steer the ship using the mouse if the two-button steering becomes too cumbersome. The ship will follow the mouse pointer, use left button for missile and right for shield.\r\n\r\nThere is currently a bug not resetting the amount of pirates when restarting ingame , to avoid this quit and restart the whole game.\r\n\r\n\r\n__Technical info__\r\n\r\nTo show the default Unity config dialog use the commandline parameter '-show-screen-selector' or hold [alt] when launching.\r\n(I needed it the first time I launched the game in linux to fix a render offset (I have 2 non-uniform screens))\r\n\r\n__Tools used__\r\n\r\nUnity, Paint.net, Gimp, bfxr, Visual Studio, Blender, Orbitron-font, Bosca Ceol\r\n\r\n\r\n__Fixes__\r\n\r\nThe end screen was enabled at startup, blocking the game.\r\nFixed mouse steering spinning out of control.\r\nWorkaround for WebGL not displaying arrows.","title":"Beyond the Final Frontier"}
