Connect is a Space Strategy game made in less than 30 hours. (I gave up on it for various reasons, and just fixed few bugs and added menus at the end)
You need to connect planets to earn cash from them. Also you want to control
more than 75% of galaxy to win.

Sorry for pop ads, on my own site, I quickly got free hosting, because for some reason my Google Drive didn't let me host a web page. Sorry.

Controlls:
- WASD or Arrow Keys to move around.
- Mouse Wheel to zoom in and out.
- H to move to Home planet.
- Click on planet to select it as starting node.
- Then click on other planet to connect it to previous one.
- You need to have sufficient resources to do it.
- Each planet produces production.

Tools used:
- Game Engine: Unity Free
- IDE: Visual Studio 2013
- Art: Paint.NET and Inkscape
- SFX: sfxr
- Music: sunvox

Good game with nice atmosphere. (The music reminded me of good old games like Ultima7.)
I reached a stalemate, at least. Or is that a loss? ;)

The game wasn't as much about resource management as I'd hope.
There were also some cases were you couldn't connect to a node because it was too far away from any planet.

Despite not being finished, I thought it was fun. Cool music and atmosphere. I think it would be fun place more emphasis on resource management than speed.
I hit a bug after my first game where restarting a new game from the menu created an unresponsive game. I had to refresh the page to start over. This is on Mac/Chrome.

I wish you had kept making the game on the second day, I think the idea has potential to be a lot of fun. Some more visualization on what your resources did and how much of them you had would would help clarify what is happening in the game. But connecting my planets together and seeing my production go up was fun.
