That was a very hard game, but after two hours, I think it was a very enjoyable one.
The first three times, I was just trying to figure it out and managed to get say 15-20 little things flying around, then my neighbors would very helpfully sending 70 to wipe me out.
Three times in a row.
The last game I finally one and felt pretty good about it. Figured out how to get around that 32 limit by making military planets. It helped that most of my opponents ignored pretty much every planet except my "home" one, so I just kept 500 there.
The tool tips were nice, but I thought of a few things that would have made it a bit easier to play.
1. Obviously, something to let you shunt off the excess to another planet. You know, kind of like > 30, send them X. Part of the game is managing it, but it got tedious near the end because I kept forgetting planets to drain. Also, my fingers hurt from clicking and dragging so much.
2. Expand it out even further (like Katamari?). Once you get the belt, maybe show the galaxy and let you do the same thing with 100's of swarms against other rings.
3. Show tooltips over every planet when you hold down the shift key.
4. Put a little indicator around the planets that are full, like the combat ring but maybe just something to remind you of what planets you forgot.
5. The click info box kept getting in the way. Having that off in a dedicated area would be nice, or to make it smaller on the side or bottom, like a progress bar.
6. I didn't figure out if there was a full screen mode, but that would have been very nice. I have one of them fancy 1080 monitors and it was so tiny.
7. Never figured out what the colored bar or the power thing was good for.
Didn't seem to impact play at all.
8. Bigger trees.
I had a blast playing this though. Thank you!
