The help section is too big it give me the feeling I will play an over complicated game... You could have stick to &quot;Crash in planet with life to get bacteria and rain them on lifeless planet by approching them&quot; It would have been enough. Sometime when you want to explain your whole gameplay to players they end up with more puzzled.\r<br\/>Small details like music fading in and out when you rain bacteria really increase the mood rating of your game."},{"author_name":"Miltage","author_uid":"8745","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 12:50pm","epoch":1346330700,"text":"How great is this game?

One of the best I have played so far for sure! I felt like the asteroid movement was frustrating at first, but it's that good kind of frustrating that keeps you playing because you wanna get it right, not the king that makes you quit :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall great stuff!"},{"author_name":"tripleVisionGames","author_uid":"12495","time":"Sep 3, 2012 @ 6:20pm","epoch":1346696100,"text":"I loved the controls and the physics have a really good feel to it.

Add some antagonists, maybe limit the asteroids, and you've got yourself a multi-level game. The control is easy to pick up. Not much in the way of evolution, but in the end it probably pointed you in the right direction for this."},{"author_name":"ollie","author_uid":"14880","time":"Sep 9, 2012 @ 9:09am","epoch":1347181440,"text":"Took me a minute to get what I was supposed to be doing but I really liked it when I did. I never managed to get an asteroid to orbit a planet completely which made me sad hehe.
