Greta Thunberg's Planet Converter by celmer89
Get in charge of a planet converting company and make one a habitable place! You start with nothing, just empty planet.
Your goal is to reach oxygen level of 21% and temperature 291 K.
Trees are producing oxygen and are growing in the sunlight. When Trees are burning, they rise temperature. Use asteroids to burn trees!
There are 3 kinds of trees:
Bush - Produces little oxygen and temperature but is cheap
Pine - Produces little oxygen but when burns, rises temperature a lot!
Oak - Produces a lot of oxygen, but little temperature when burns.
Controls:
WSAD - move camera
QE - zoom in/out
LSHIFT - speed up camera
MOUSE - use mouse to select and plant trees and launch an asteroid!
I made it alone in one day using free assets, please rate and enjoy guys!

Very good idea, never really see any terraforming games out there, so it's a nice idea you went for. The game is quite relaxing though I do agree with the other commenters that it's not very fleshed out, but I did finish it and kill my arm placing down pine trees and murdering them with explosions (extremely satisfying btw), so it did keep me playing.
The HTML version is *extremely* bugged by the way. Windows works perfectly fine though.
Even for a prototype look quite polished.
A couple minor complains are the very slow speed of the basic plant (need to be a little faster) and the info about plants abilities from help should be either as tooltip on buttons or on the right side of screen.
Music/sound create kinda serene/meditative mood.
It would be nice to be able to rotate/zoom around planet with mouse (MMB-drag to rotate, wheel to zoom).
Also it might me more interesting/pleasing to have some landscape (instead of perfect ball).
Feat with the theme and conxtructive and the music and sfx are nice.
For the future development of the game, maybe fixing the bug of the camera when we are on the top of the planet could be a good thing :)
A proposition : change the shape of the planet according the asteroids and according the evolution of the oxygen and temparature. Nice work!
