They need you and you need them ! by KeyboardCat

-- Sorry for my bad English, I'm French --

Java 7 is required to play this game.

Well, I'm very happy of my "game", in fact, I don't think it's a game, it's more a prototype of something... This is not very funny or enjoyable, and there is no real goal (Who want to play my game now !? ^^). But I decided to release I'm just to see what you think about him.


So, How to play ? :

Your "goal" is to reach a population of 50000. To do that you, need to connect your planet with other planets to exchange vital resources.

Commands :

Move the mouse over a planet to see its informations.
Left click on a planet to select this one.
Press R to restart (if a bug occur, we never know...).
Press H to go back "Home".
Press M to stop music (definitely).
Press Enter to connect your planet to selected planet (you can connect 5 planets maximum).
Press Left Arrow to slow down game.
Press Right Arrow to speed the game.

If you have any question, do not hesitate.

The game is really confusing, and I haven't been able to figure out how to change the planet from which the connection starts.

Yeah, agree with you... In fact, you have a planet, wich is call "Home", by pressing Enter you can connect this planet to others plantes. But, sometimes, planets are connected to other planets, to "live".

I like the concept. However, I find it impossible to reach the goal. The best I managed was 10000. Either I am doing something wrong or this is truly unbeatable. Mostly because there doesn't seem to be any exchange going HOME->Connected planets. Just HOME <- connected planets. So all the planets that I connect, die after a while the same as all the others, leaving me alone in the system :(

Very good theme use :) Has potential, but lacks execution.

Thanks, in fact, there is exchange between home and other planets, but I had problems to balance the game... I plan to make a postmortem of this game, for making all perfectly work.

I liked the music, and no-one can argue that it wasn't on theme! I was very confused though.
