The idea is nice, but I saw now why I was getting random game overs while expending! I think you also need to change the camera zoom as you get more planets connected by heat. Sometimes the planet you're trying to click is just out of camera view. But overall very nice little game! 

Developer

Thanks alot !
We would love to update and fix that in the future, appreciate your opinion ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I see the vision of an incrementally expanding array of defensive planets, only after reading the comments and having the mechanics explained. However, there is very little decision making to be done as the player to create a good network. It feels like just luck of the draw each time whether or not your planets will be in a place to block anything. An interesting demo, maybe im just a sucker for orbits, but is not super enjoyable to play.

Developer

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We will definitely take your feedback into account when we improve the game!

The game is confusing, I cannot find out why I am getting game overs or what I should be doing?

Developer

Hello, you can press Space to shoot heat and connect with other planet. As you connect with other planets, you can click on them to change the shoot point. Due to a critical bug, the alien is not dying and they will continually attack your core planet, leading to game over. Thank you for trying our game!

I am confused on how to prevent the space invaders (viruses?) from attaching onto me especially out of the gate. I understood my goal and really loved the theming idea of this game!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

The game is not finish yet, but the point is to gather outer planets to protect and prevent viruses from attacking the core planet

Hope you get back and try it out again on update in the future ๐Ÿ˜‰
