Suffers the classic problem of resource-over-time games that without some balancing factor, it's just a matter of time rather than strategy. To play, I just upgraded resources until the cost was greater than that of a spaceship. Alternatively, I could have made a cup of tea. Nice audio, but the loop was a little too short."},{"author_name":"Ted Brown","author_uid":"12485","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 3:08am","epoch":1409367780,"text":"Seems like a good start to a strategy game."},{"author_name":"slumber","author_uid":"34428","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 3:28am","epoch":1409368980,"text":"So i started playing.
