I do not want to install the dev form of the SLD packages in my home computer just to play your game. :-(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As for the game itself, I liked the mechanic of slowly building your ship. Having the &uml;detector&uml; part near the beginning was nice, but it would be better if that part provided a mini map. It was mostly a guessing game to hit the last two parts."},{"author_name":"EatThePath","author_uid":"7743","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 3:18am","epoch":1324696380,"text":"Looks and sounds interesting, but no binary==no play from me. :("},{"author_name":"philhassey","author_uid":"2","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 3:55am","epoch":1324698600,"text":"An OS X binary would be awesome :)"},{"author_name":"jeffz","author_uid":"4842","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 9:49pm","epoch":1324763040,"text":"no windows binary, no play..."},{"author_name":"Cirrial","author_uid":"1620","time":"Dec 24, 2011 @ 11:41pm","epoch":1324769760,"text":"Can't play with no binary."},{"author_name":"cjke.7777","author_uid":"4849","time":"Dec 26, 2011 @ 5:43am","epoch":1324877880,"text":"Can't play, no binary"},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 6:58pm","epoch":1325011980,"text":"Sorry but can't play the game.

I liked it, but it was a bit frustrating, would be better if the radar gave a minimap of the items in orbit or so, and you started out with it, it's nearly impossible to tell what orbit things are in until you're up to them and when that close its almost impossible to get them on that pass...and it's too hard to keep a steady orbit :\/"},{"author_name":"SonnyBone","author_uid":"1365","time":"Jan 6, 2012 @ 10:40pm","epoch":1325889300,"text":"CAIN'T PLAY EET"},{"author_name":"J","author_uid":"5483","time":"Jan 8, 2012 @ 8:05pm","epoch":1326052800,"text":"]$ bin\/ganymede \r<br\/>Loading audio...\r<br\/>Loading fonts...\r<br\/>Finished init\r<br\/>\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Then it just uses 100% CPU without showing a window.
