After Ludum Dare, our team decided to do a subsequent game jam to flesh out Galaxia a bit more.  One huge improvement is the glorious new interface Ben designed:

You can play it here.

Additionally, I submitted Galaxia to the Experimental Games Workshop at GDC.  Who knows if it will be accepted, but Galaxia’s subject of exponential growth and recursive production prompted some pretty interesting comments in the feedback section:

Flyingbear: “The underlying beauty of this game is that it really gives you an appreciation of scale, of just what all those zeros mean.”

Codeapparat: “I love how it spirals completely out of control once you get those factory-factories”

MaesK: “Now I understand the bureaucratic nightmare Asimov described in the planet Trantor in Foundation series.”

Thanks again to everyone so much for playing and leaving your comments!  They are super inspiring!
