I wasn't sure at first if you had implemented any form of income, but I was happy when I saw the credits begin to accumulate.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I couldn't figure out what the brown X icon was on houses.  I presume the green was no food, and yellow no electricity, though I was also unclear how they eventually got food and electricity.  I built solar panels and greenhouses, and eventually the icons went away, but the causal connection and timing was murky.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The guys wandering the roads gave the colony a good lived in feeling, but were they actually doing anything?  I couldn't tell.  Also, did there different colors mean anything?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Super-minor interface observation:  Deselecting the active tool when left clicking on an invalid spot was unintuitive to me.  If I made a trivial mistake clicking in the wrong spot, I had to then reselect the tool again to build in the intended spot."},{"author_name":"Coolway99","author_uid":"44750","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 8:42pm","epoch":1418762220,"text":"Looks to have such great potential, I wanna see where you go with this"}],"images":["ld31\/18713-4009bf0206519c7b7aa935c2ecdfe6b6.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/0x91l24bizihh7l\/Colony%20Asteroid.zip?dl=1","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"13222","g_author":"18713","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"13252","g_title":"Colony: Asteroid","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"7","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/18713-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Colony: Asteroid is a city building game where you are confined to a small screen-sized asteroid, with nothing beyond those borders but the emptiness of space.\r\n\r\nI was a bit over ambitious with this, so there's not a whole lot of content and no real way to win (other than building a cool city), but if nothing else it's a pretty awesome road building simulator.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nMouse controls most of the game\r\n'g' toggles the building grid","title":"Colony: Asteroid"}
