Nevermind how many petitioners were sitting on fuse-less boxes...\r\rDefinitely an interesting concept, should this grow beyond a 48 hour jam, I'd like to see perhaps an advanced sort feature that lets me sort by qualities I am interested in like planet mass or pollution percentages.\r\rPoints for awesome planet names like: Kooshley, Blooble, Auwe (where my Hawaiians at?), and no joke Flay It (if you were wondering, yes, they were an angry people)."},{"author_name":"stephenhaney","author_uid":"39284","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 4:41am","epoch":1409027760,"text":"Very innovative.

Neat concept. If you take it further, maybe slowly ramp up the number of planets and fuses available so it's not info overload."},{"author_name":"OFF","author_uid":"39617","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 5:56am","epoch":1409032260,"text":"Not my kind of game but impressive for a 48h hour.

I made a similar but much simpler game and I know even that took a while to try to balance, so I don't envy the process of balancing this!\r\rI never really understood how the different planets balanced in the fuseboxes though.
