Very interested, but I find it very hard to select planets once they are moving. Worked ok using the keys. I had a gas planet with a population that got to 2K then stopped growing. Should anything happen next? Crashes when I click 'place planets' for the 2nd time, and also when trying to go full screen.
I agree, clicking on the moving planets is a bit hard, which is why I added the arrow keys. I'm not sure how to make them more clickable since they are moving. For the population, that would depend on the planet's orbit. Was it too close or far away from the star? It might've been at a spot where life grows and dies at the same rate, so it doesn't change much. Or it was just taking a while for things to happen since growth is somewhat based on randomness. Also, I tested it, and I see the crash you mean. No idea what causes that, and I never had that issue in the Unity editor, but I'll keep it in mind. Sorry it messed up your playthrough! And thank you for the feedback :)
This is very cool! Some sfx would make it clearer if I was doing things wrong or if things were going well. The concept is very intriguing, well done
Thank you! And yeah, I wish I'd found the time to add sound effects and music, but I ended up being a bit overloaded near the end.
i had fun :)
Nice game! Very difficult because of it being 3d. Also my planets just seemed to randomly explode, not sure why?
Thanks! The planets should only explode if they crash into the sun or get launched super far away from the system. I agree that 3D makes things a little hard to understand, though I was hoping panning around would make it a bit easier to see what's going on.
Really interesting concept. Not sure I succeeded but had some really cool orbits going on for a while until I toggled modes and suddenly everything disappeared. really unique and cool presentation. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! Not sure what caused that, but I'll keep my eyes out for a potential bug. Thank you!
It was nice but i really didn't get the idea of the game. Your artwork is really amazing. Maybe you should add a tutorial level?
Thank you! That's fair, I had planned to add a tutorial but ran out of time and just wrote some things in the page's description.
Looks beautiful but couldn't make it work :(
Were you running the web build or the Windows build? It may take a moment to load, and you might need to click on the game at least once to focus it and get it to load.
