Hey everybody.
N427 and I worked on this game, completed it in around 30 hours, and here it is: PLANETOID. It's a game about literally connecting worlds with trading routes and fuel-mining facilities to bolster your interstellar development.

Q: How do I- A: READ THE INGAME INSTRUCTIONS IN FULL, PLEASE!
Story: This galaxy has long been rumored to contain a legendary Black Hole - a vault containing innumerable wealth and undeniable fame for whoever may unlock its secrets. The Black Hole is fabled to have been sealed long ago by ancient beings who sought to destroy its power, using a host of archaic objects known as the Artifacts. You must find the Artifacts to open the Black Hole. Claim your glory!
I accidentally made too much money and overflowed the integer, winding up with a negative amount of money and unable to spend it. I had 12 or 13 of the artifacts (I think), but couldn't find the black hole. Neat game. I like the style and the music.
The music and graphics are fantastic. You should make a button to pop up the in-game instructions. Make one of the keyboard keys toggle it or something like that.
Lol, discovered planet 'Pornokik'. Definitely the most polished-looking game I've encountered so far. Audio and visual were superb. There needs to be a way to go back to the main menu once you start playing; I read the controls, started playing, and then realized I needed to reference the controls again. I just refreshed the page, but would be nice to have some other way get to the controls.
So, I really enjoyed, it, and played for a while. Was never able to find the Black Hole, though; found plenty of artifacts, but not black hole. Also, uncertain about mechanics: If a planet has a colony, but no reactors, does it still create fuel?
Where can I find the video playthrough? btw, I tried playing through again; did a lot better resource-wise this time, but was only able to find 2 artifacts strangely.
Fantastic art and music. I couldn't quite get the before watching the video, despite reading the instructions throughly, but that could just be my lack of reading comprehension.
Took me a while to figure out the how to play (even though I read the instructions!), but it was worth a little learning. It's a really nice little game.
It would be nice to see which planets have reactors, though.
Hi there. Like the pixel graphics and spacey chiptunes. The UI seems to work, can link up planets and configure the economic things... but... nothing much happened after that, connected about 30 planets... Went left as far as I could then right after that (starting again from Earth) and ended up at Eggymel! Good job as far as it goes!
Neat game, though I couldn't deselect the UI panels. Great mechanics and take on the theme. Cool graphics and audio, setting a quite particular mood. Good work!

Thank you for showing me this green.
