My main gripe with the game is that I found the tutorial and graphics very confusing at first. So much so that I spent around 10 minutes just figuring out what everything meant despite reading the tutorial several times. I think this game would heavily benefit from being made a bit simpler or having the information be presented to the player at a slower pace. This was an entry to a game jam though, so I understand why it doesn't have these features!\n\nI do like the idea of micromanaging resources between planets. I think this could be further expanded by having some sort of active threat you're constantly battling instead of the distant threat of running out of resources. The limited inventory could potentially play into that as you may need to carry certain resources or items to keep something at bay. Good work! :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1016057,"author_name":"cagibi","author_uid":"cagibi","epoch":1696670497,"text":"I agree with the tutorial needing a bit of work, but once I understood the mechanics it was an interesting game, hard but not too hard.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1022380,"author_name":"Steffo","author_uid":"steffo","epoch":1697054485,"text":"Are structures supposed to always say \"Will produce in 0 turns\"?

But eventually I understood the buildings, and I had a lot of fun trying to optimize Fusion fuel production vs moving around collecting other resources.\nGraphics is really cute, I like the hand-drawn style, although I would expect some simple animations (bounces and tweens), the game looks very static.\nI am very happy that I managed to win the game, it took me like 15 minutes of playing, congrats on making such fun game for the 48h.\n ![Screenshot 2023-10-11 at 22.38.33.png](\/\/\/raw\/bb5\/2\/z\/602f2.png)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1022546,"author_name":"WiredOverload","author_uid":"wiredoverload","epoch":1697066534,"text":"I always enjoy grid based resource production games, but I think this one can be \"solved\" really pretty easily if you just have the right starting setup. You have enough materials to build two chemical plants and four miners at the 8 planet with enough material left over to kickstart the process, and that solves your material issues for the rest of the game. After that setup all you need is a farm somewhere to drop off materials every now and then, and an atmosphere harvester to drop off energy at in the same way. I actually think that making the planets larger would have made the game a bit more complex, as doing anything fancy like producing fuel, burning it for energy, and using that to make fusion fuel can only be done on the 8 planet without hand feeding. Overall I did have fun theory-crafting a build before placing anything down, and the animations of things moving around was a nice touch.
