Controls were a little fiddly, and pretty difficult to get used to, but still had some fun. Being able to destroy objects wasn't really all that clear, probably needed a nice big straight away to make sure people &quot;get it&quot; the first time."},{"author_name":"ENDESGA","author_uid":"19270","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:53am","epoch":1387165680,"text":"I love a good space game!

It would probably work great on a touch sensitive screen tho. It would probably also work a lot better with a mouse if you weren't required to click on the planet to start dragging (so you could pick an arbitrary position and just move the mouse in whichever location you wanted your planet to move, relative to the mouse's initial position)"},{"author_name":"mcgraw","author_uid":"5989","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:55am","epoch":1387169400,"text":"Big of a learning curve w\/ the controls.
