Only improvement I could think of was some variations in music.
Unfortunately, I'm a bad "Star Tycoon"... I didn't get far and was raided by evil space pirates ;-)
SiMouth, I have posted some instructions to begin, if you have more doubts, ask me without problem ;-)
Bugs found so far:
- The pirate space ship, on the second raid (second time attacked), they showed the same message of your previous action, like if you have paid 2000, it will show the same message again. Maybe you forgot to reset it?
- Clicking on ships that are stacked together (very close to each other) will spawn all their info boxes.
Nichii I will try to do a fix for the pirates problem, thanks!!
Very awesome graphics and a interesting gameplay.
Maybe this is because of my Internet or my pc but this game lags ... this makes me sad but in the end its a great Jam-game!!!
I really liked the graphic style, but felt a bit lost concerning the mechanics.
I failed badly the first time after being raided by pirates and having 4 ships on the same route until I was buying for more than I was selling for, and losing money.
The second time I maxed out easily, and would have loved to have more to do.
Thanks for the feedback!!
Nice use of theme, and really great art style, suit very well with the proposed.
It was difficult to start play, but after I found the list of what to to, was easy.
Nice graphics and music :)
- A crash relative to the economy changes in planets.
- Pirates have been reintroduced, but we need some feedback, if somebody has crashes, please report it!
Does the game have a winning condition? Sometimes when I clicked my hangar I couldn't click anything anymore and had to restart the game.
It's a little annoying that the planet windows can leave the game screen. It would be nice to have a tutorial ingame that follows your description. I could do many things that didn't make any sense e.g. pay pirates money I don't have, return to hanger even though I had no money, make a trade path where I try to sell a ressource which the planet doesn't accept.
I would like to see where you can go with this if you fix the bugs and give a clear goal.
