I think it would be helpful to have more or different onscreen info to better understand the state of affairs at a glance, but that's probably a lot easier said than done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Definitely think you did very nice work. I played through a few quick rounds and then finally started getting the hang of it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Visuals are fun to watch, especially once space travel starts taking place! It's also fun to just try random stuff to see what happens, but it's also thought provoking as you try to control the pace of development and keep tension within and between worlds minimal.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great job tying in with the theme!"},{"author_name":"Hyoga-3D","author_uid":"23927","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:21pm","epoch":1408986960,"text":"Nice game, it would be nice to see na online multiplayer, so other people would Interact with its on planets."},{"author_name":"Techblogogy","author_uid":"25556","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:14pm","epoch":1408990140,"text":"GUI scale in web version seems a bit small, but the game is pretty interesting"},{"author_name":"MechanicMoon","author_uid":"40539","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 12:14pm","epoch":1409141340,"text":"I have not figured out how to play well but it looks like a very promising game and future, very good"},{"author_name":"Kiwiboi","author_uid":"20891","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 12:23pm","epoch":1409141880,"text":"Great ambitious entry!

I tried to keep things balanced, but the minute the planets came into contact with each other they spammed so many rockets that the planets were entirely enveloped and the game lagged to a standstill.

Please wait until the start game button changes when you hover over it.\r\n(Sorry, I'll look into this for future games\/releases!)\r\n\r\n===Instructions===\r\n(Transcribed from main menu)\r\nCreate harmony between many planets by balancing their economic and millitary power.\r\n\r\n=Getting Started=\r\nSpawn in six planets of your choice, use the tooltips down the bottom to decide which will be most appropriate.\r\nNext, settle the six peoples on the planets, again use the tooltips to decide who is suited for each planet\r\nThe six races will slowly advance and achieve space travel capabilities, use this time to try and balance their rates of millitary and economic growth with each other\r\n\r\n=Making Connections=\r\nOnce a planet discovers space travel, it will start building a sphere of influence, if two planets' spheres of influence connect, they make contact.\r\nIf one planet has a stronger millitary than the other, it will attempt to overthrow it by launching red missiles at it, damaging the other planet's millitary strength.\r\nSimilarly, if one planet has a much bigger economy, they will attempt to buy out the planet's businesses, by sending green corporate ships, damanging the other's wealth.\r\n\r\n=Objective=\r\nCreate a balance, such that all planets send only blue civilian ships to each other.\r\nIf a planet's millitary strength or wealth hit zero, the planet is overthrown and the game is lost.\r\nAlso, if a planet's progress to space travel goes back to 0% or goes under 100% after achieving it, the game is lost.\r\n\r\n====Post-Mortem====\r\nYou can now read my post mortem and dev story here: http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2014\/09\/01\/390731\/","title":"Harmony"}
