I know, it's not finished. Needs more balance, bugfixing, some buttons doesn't work. Well, 48h just wasn't enough. Maybe next time it will be better. Looking forward to next LD!!

This game is awesome and deserves more attention. Great premise with beautiful visualization! I love all the detail going on in the background. Also WTF SPACE PIRATES!?

Thank you! I really appreciate it :)

Visually it's very beautiful, but there seems to be a lot of bugs. Like in the beginning, I can't change 'Company Name', so if I try to write something then there will be an error saying its too long and the only way to start fresh is to refresh the window.
Anyway, I managed to somehow skip it by just pressing enter instead of inserting a name. About the game itself, I feel it's quite difficult to understand what I'm supposed to do, but visually it's the most beautiful game I've tried so far.

Good Work , I like it's simplicity in design and the polishing nicely done
g_o25 Aug 2014, 11:38
DAT INTRO :P !
The problem was that there was no tutorial, so failing at first seemed kinda unfair, and didn't inspire me to play
again...
The graphics - abolutely gorgeous!
You sure know how to use unity :)
Great entry :)

Yeah, I haven't enough time to make tutorial. I know about this issue, it's very confusing. I made a quick guide at least, but I think it's not enough.

That's an incredibly polished UI you've got there. I'd have liked a faster time setting though - I was spending a lot of time just waiting for money to come in. But a surprisingly gripping game!

Excellent game, I love the graphics (even if sometimes it's a bit difficult to use the interface), it really looks clean.

Also, I really can't run a company, haha.

I love the music, it is great for the mood of the game. GJ

finish the game and try selling it

Quite a big game with a lot of little details! I was about to quit because of text taking so long and then "OMG CALM DOWN, I'll skip it!". Great Job!
Kiwiboi26 Aug 2014, 16:11
Cool concept, very ambitious of you for an LD! And yeah the skip it part was pretty funny :D It WAS slow though ;)
Kiwiboi26 Aug 2014, 16:12
Oh and also, responded to you on my page !
AnnaGavaldaKedavra26 Aug 2014, 19:46
Very beautiful game. Many details, everything is well made and the challenge seems right. But after 35 month i started to be a little bored since i only had to wait and buy the more expensive things without any need to custom prices or lines. Very good for a LD though ! Even more for a FIRST LD.
I still don't know what you didn't get about my game though. :)

Waw. What a UI ! Clear, pure, balanced. Great. Interesting concept. I put it on my "comeback for more" list.

Cool design, great idea, but it's pretty boring to play. Audio is good too, but gets intrusive later on
Artamus27 Aug 2014, 13:52
Nice game, congrats!
Simon28 Aug 2014, 08:54
Very pragmatic use of the theme ;). But very pleasing to play, great music and UI. Good job!

Haha, "CALM DOWN" is the best! Nice clicker btw! UI stunning!
kristof29 Aug 2014, 20:01
I like the clean and modern look, although the web version looked a bit blurry sometimes. Probably a Unity problem. The game itself was more or less trial and error. Many of the icons where not self-explanatory and had no tooltips. I didn't seem to make any kind of progress besides increasing the capacity of my links, so I stopped playing after a while.
But I see a lot of potential in the game. Good work!

You have my respect for putting this up in less than 48 hours. I think you could make a serious game out of this concept. But OMG CALM DOWN... and congrats on putting it together :)

It was a really slow start and kinda wish it was more than just buying something and waiting for numbers to go up.
Menesetsu30 Aug 2014, 14:44
It was a very good game. I really liked it. Interface is beautiful.
