The concept of this game is great. I love the mechanics, but the only issue was that it was difficult to figure out the controls. Once I figured them out,  it was fine. (Not sure if there were any controls that I missed) This game really has potential.

(I found the game through Reddit)

Edit: After looking at the game a little bit more, I can create new moons around the planet and advance to the next level, but not sure how either of those happen. As VOid1 Gaming mentioned below, a tutorial would be really helpful.

Thank you for the encouraging words Shockbyte! Yes it does seem like a little bit of context and a very loose tutorial (at the very least) is needed! Possibly even a bit of a story & motive to give the player some agency.  I’m glad you had a lovely time :D

I like the idea of a story.  As soon as I figured out the controls, I felt that I should be able to land on the main planet.

Quick question, how long did it take you to develop this demo?

Hi Shockbyte. Apologies for the late reply. Landing on planets and “colonising” them or exploring them would be amazing but probably a whole different game unto itself. Though the idea does exist in my mind hehe. How long did it take to develop? That’s a hard question to answer, as these things often percolate for a while & then suddenly become tangible, or take a break to breath before work starts again. I would say if I had to guess that a lot of progress was done over what felt like a few long weekends, but fine tuning things probably took more than a month or so. Hard to say though as one always looks forward when developing & it becomes easy to forget where it all came from! The napkin it was originally scribbled on might be like 2 years old for all anyone knows at this point :D (sorry I don’t have a more concrete answer)

All right, thank you.

No worries about the late reply, I haven't logged on myself since I last commented.

Good luck on your game!

Thank you my friend! We’ll see where it takes us, and your ideas honestly turn cogs in our heads that shape the game moving forward! Stay tuned :D

Hi Shockbyte! Thanks for your feedback. Just to let you know we made the game a bit smoother and added a bit of tutorial UI. We are thinking of having an intro tutorial for the full game, and just starting working on that :)

I'm assuming the tutorial is the UI in the bottom right, but it's pretty cryptic to be honest.

That it is. We’ll try and work it into the tutorial level. Things are still coming together a bit :)
