First level took me a couple tries to get the hang of it. My only nit is that the planets didn't explode when I crashed asteroids into them. :)"},{"author_name":"Cheshyr","author_uid":"20497","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:37am","epoch":1408941120,"text":"It's interesting.

It made perfect sense-- simple and straightforward. I couldn't get past level 3. Guess I'm not cut out for interplanetary travel. The physics on the asteroids is a little strange but I'm impressed with how well it works. Oh, and the splash screen is beautiful! Altogether a really solid game."},{"author_name":"vividhelix","author_uid":"35713","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:47am","epoch":1408941720,"text":"Interesting, it's tricky to figure out exactly where to shoot the asteroids.

The graphics are really cool and I like the concept and the mechanics work really well for it. It's quite challenging which is great but I think even a simple backing track would have really helped set the mood for this game.

It's a bit hard to play right now because controls are kind of rough and the level design is a bit harsh but I think it could become really cool. Thanks for the idea on Galactic Dump, I just wrote it down ;)"},{"author_name":"TagliatL","author_uid":"29053","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 8:16pm","epoch":1409083860,"text":"some level are incredibly hard but it's cool, great concept !"},{"author_name":"BloodJohn","author_uid":"26449","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 11:51am","epoch":1409226360,"text":"intersting concept for puzzle"},{"author_name":"Budaniel","author_uid":"38918","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 3:00am","epoch":1409280900,"text":"I struggled and gave up on the level with the block in the middle, but it was all in all a fun little diversion.

The goal is to shoot some asteroids (from the moon, because why not) so that you create a connected line between Earth and Mars.  You should start by connecting to the green node attached to Earth, and make a chain that completes within the checkered node attached to Mars.\r\n\r\nThere are 7 levels.  A couple of them are very difficult. I promise that they are all doable!\r\n\r\nTips:\r\n* You do not have to hit the green node (or any connected asteroid) exactly.  Just going near it will attract the asteroid and make a connection\r\n* Press Alt (or the non-Windows equivalent) to restart a level\r\n\r\nThanks and please let me know what you think! I will definitely check out all games from people that leave feedback. Game was made in Unity so non web builds will be uploaded soon.","title":"From Earth To Mars"}
