Amazing looking game, to bad you can't do anything with the money you make. further more it would be nice if the data would be persistent for when i return to the game
did find one bug, where i could get hit by a spike but then keep standing on it afterwards, this game does have a lot of potential

Wow, awesome multiplayer game! The concept is cool, I found the player a bit slow, but anyway, I really enjoyed mining some planets! :) (I hope you develop this game further, it has a great potential. ^^)

Thank you everyone for your comments! We are having a great time trying to beat your scores in the ranking! :D :D

Hey Therrato, the game is persistent. Simply go back to the game and you can keep playing :)

Great concept! Hats off for artwork and music. The enemies are a bit easy / boring. With harder enemies, $ spending for upgrades (auto-defense, hazop-suite, better tools etc. etc.) this has great potential!

The first 30 minutes was really fun!

Then I mined everything in Andromeda and memorized the 6 - 8 different maps. Then I went to explore elsewhere and noticed that my reactors stopped working for no explainable reason. I lost interest because it became a war-of-attrition game. Also I'm #1 by an excessive score. And I have no idea what pollution does.

It was fun.

Seppel: Are you Tail Kiss? :P I have been trying to beat you for a while but you have been really busy building that high-score :D

It is true that it can lose interest after a while... Unfortunately we didn't have time to include the economy mechanics we had planned originally.

Thanks for your feedback, we will take it into account for future revisions of the game :)

Wow, this is a brilliant entry in all fields, definitely one of the best entries I've found so far.

You've got a very promising game if you keep expanding on it. Amazing work!

Awesome visuals! Scrolliing a bit buggy sometimes, and enemy AI too, slime golem blocked my way...
Anyway it's gorgeous!

It definitely looks pretty, but I immediately got stuck on top of an enemy walking into a wall that completely boxed me in :(

Thanks for the info Crowbreak! We are now redirecting to a secondary URL while we investigate why our main web server is down.

Please try again, it should work!

Update: The server is also down so you won't be able to play the game until we can fix it.

Will keep you posted.

Very impressive game considering the time constraints, innovative and easily one of the best looking games, it would have been absolutely amazing if you could procedurally generate the planets rather than reskinning the same handful of maps but that's a minor quibble because the skins look great, and the game is extremely impressive! :)

Very impressive to get a server-backed game in so little time. The mechanic was a little simple, but the accomplishment of tying it all together in this amount of time is well worth applause. Congratulations to you all.
