I only lived to 58. It's a pretty interesting concept. I'd like to see how old people can make it to. The one thing you might want to improve is the icons for each planet - when the planets are close together it can be confusing to figure out which icons are for which planet."},{"author_name":"Darkcoder","author_uid":"5470","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:59pm","epoch":1387209240,"text":"The control scheme annoyed me the most. You should either add keyboard controls to move around, or allow click and drag. The concept was very nice though. Also, doesn't the 'Stave off Death' button just kill you?"},{"author_name":"X-0r","author_uid":"25053","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:22pm","epoch":1387210620,"text":"Sending ships around the universe, yay :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Took me a while to figure out the controls, eventually could play it &quot;seriously&quot;, but I never managed to gain the 1000$ required for the big red button."},{"author_name":"windwalkerranger","author_uid":"30671","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 4:22pm","epoch":1387297020,"text":"Nice idea!
