A game about rapid terraforming and selling planets.

The year is 2744. You are working for Selling Rocks - a company that specializes in selling planets. Your job is to make sure that the planet is suited for the species you are selling to and if it's not - terraform it.

This time around you are dealing with extreme case - the planet you are about to sell is completely barren. You have to start from nothing and make it a habitable world. But be quick as future colonists are already on the way!

Controls:

[1] - add Pressure

[2] - add Oxygen

[3] - add Hydrogen

[4] - add Temperature

[Space] - Emergency button!

Nice take on a theme! Graphics are fine and simple, it suits the overall style great. I even think that first version of the design look better. But it's just my personal thoughts. Unfortunately, I almost didn't look at the planet itself as all the time my eyes were fixed on parameters and buttons. Some changes in UI layout may fix this.

Like the idea on this one! The only piece of feedback I feel I need to pass on is that unfortunately due to the nature of the game, you can't really look at the planet, which I kinda missed since I do like the minimalist 3D art it uses. Maybe visual cues on the planet can replace the sidebar sliders? Anyway nice idea and execution :)

Interesting concept. The graphics is nice but I've noticed that i have to keep my eyes on UI all the time this makes it hard to appreciate it fully. Sound design is great btw, i love that you have your sfx in tune with the music.

Great sound and game design, but I found it hard to play at first because of lack of UI tooltips and minimal feedback the game gives to player when things first happen.

I love how your game looks. Its really pro-grade. It was pretty tricky to figure out what should i have to do without tutorial but after i read it i was able to play without guessing.
