I do also agree that some enemies would add a lot to the gameplay. I hope you continue tweaking this project.

I do plan to continue adding stuff and improving it.  I just added sparks today to better indicate which hexes contain more fuel.  Need to tackle the graphical glitches next.  :)"},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"May 31, 2011 @ 7:30am","epoch":1306826700,"text":"Oh, the hexes with the blue border give fuel too - and the others also do something. It's kinda tricky to figure it out, what with you always falling and losing fuel as soon as you move."}],"images":["mini26\/4645-00114cccdaee788579bf053118dc923d.jpg","mini26\/4645-6b3aab7e4b6d184b7d7543eb01d50e5e.jpg","mini26\/4645-8ba3345508da7a0d819ea2d0b5bb24cd.jpg","mini26\/4645-97352b0b5ea551df88baa1ac755762e6.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/glugglug.net\/excelsior\/","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/glugglug.net\/excelsior\/","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"35004","g_author":"4645","g_event":"MINI26","g_eventkey":"51","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"36795","g_title":"Excelsior","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"7","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/55008\/4645-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/55008\/4645-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/55008\/4645-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/55008\/4645-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Fly up and out of the planet's core, collecting fuel along the way.\r\n\r\nThis game works a bit better in Chrome at the moment, but it plays OK in FF4 as long as the window isn't ginormous.\r\n\r\nIt lacks sound completely, and it should probably have a lot more animations that help you figure out what the various rock types do.  In the meantime, carefully watch the fuel gauge on your ship.  There's also some graphical glitches that I'd like to fix but know would have taken more time than I had.<\/p>","title":"Excelsior"}
