Great retro font, I liked the visuals, specially planets and controls. Music helps the mood, but it repeats somewhat often. A goal might have improved the game, but it is good enough as it is (remember, Minecraft had no goal :P). Nice work!
I'm really bad in this kind of games but it was fun to play nonetheless! I always thought about how complex it might be to create these kind of games so seeing one done in 48 hours is astonishing. Awesome work!
I really don't get it O.o Am i missing something or is this kinda impossible? eventually a planet that can gather food, uses more food than it gatherers, and there is no way to get food from one planet to another? and planets without food, how can i use them if I cant send food to that planet? :/
This is really awesome! could do with more shortcuts or clearer HUD.
It's quite hard to process so many numbers at the same time.

Simple but good music, looks really good and is an interesting resource management / expansion game. There were times when things went wrong and my colony started starving ... :( I think it switches to "None" when it's finished building a ship etc. It should probably automatically switch to food, it seems to be the safest of the options.
Hi there. Interesting looking resource management/strategy setup. I couldn't work out how to operate it properly though... a short tutorial or easy first couple of planets would have been very helpful... I know these things take time though. I liked the sounds and look&feel.
It's a solid prototype for a jam, but players should receive more feedback, like how much resources are needed for something and so on. Very nice pixel art. Annoying music.
Wow. Such a cool interface in so little time. I just love how the game looks and feels. Sadly, I find it difficult to understand the game and the management doesn't work in such a way that you can just leave a planet running.
Really liked it and would like to see you expand it more. Agree with SkyWolf that there should be feedback in game about how many resources are needed to build. Also you should add trading between planets but other than that you got yourself a really nice planet management game here.
Thanks everyone! The lack of feedback is actually a bug that appeared in the last 30mn before submission (and that I didn't see in time, of course -__-); as for trading, it was planned (this is what Space Stations were for) but... well, 48h is a short time. But thanks everyone! :D
