Colors are great too. Music fits nicely, and the boffin adivsing you is great :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's very hard to figure out what to do, though.

It felt virtually impossible to recover when the capacitor array blew, the fact it switches all the capacitors to blue when it goes is pretty harsh.\r<br\/>2. Figuring out what exactly to do is a little tricky I'd encourage you to do something so that I don't feel penalized for reading the instructional text early on, the text is great and informative but it's hard to find the time to read it when the game kinda leaps in head first.\r<br\/>3. A few things were unclear, like how close I was to being able to access the next satellite, is it based on whether the room is red or whether it's been red (working for a while) or what?\r<br\/>4. Maybe this has something to do with the command center or something but it felt like between satellite 1 and 2 my options went up a ton, was this intentional?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm only going into so much detail because the game is otherwise perfect. Seriously this is the best game I've seen of this team size or smaller for LD26, maybe the best overall. Great game, simple mechanics, quite fun. 5\/5"},{"author_name":"tankete","author_uid":"21907","time":"May 7, 2013 @ 2:24am","epoch":1367893140,"text":"Wow! Looks amazing! Plays great!
