Extremely moody, and does not get boring because of the attention to details (quickly stating which solar systems were already scanned, nicely visualizing the distance to a scanned artifact, energy and shields being cheaper at liberated planets).
Very well crafted. And visually excellent as well.
Great entry.
Really loved the mood of the galaxy. It felt cold, harsh and unforgiving. Especially when travelling far, just barely having enough energy, only to not find an artifact thre.
But I did win in the end :)
Great mood, great audio and visuals. Awesome.
(I can confirm, that Linux version works. Tested on Ubuntu 14.04)
I had a hard time identifying the planets i visited though, because the grey and transparent font is hard to read with such a dark background.
I would like to see a version with more graphic elements in place of text in the GUI. The sheer amount of text on screen at once makes navigation much less intuitive than it could be.
I found a bit destabilizing that systems rotate after each action even if it seems to be a fair solution for not loosing the players position each time.
Cool blur effect on UI.
Great job !
Lovely and smooth gameplay.
